Escaping the 'Gay Culture'

[Nailed to the Perch]

Well, that's hilariously shallow.

Get a job, long hairs!

I wonder if the degree of his hatred is proportional to hair length. Then I could be his archenemy! MWAHAHAHA.

[Des-Bal]

Well, that's hilariously shallow.

I don't like people who fuss over their hair.

I don't like people look like vagrants.

Since long hair is high maintenance people with it generally fuss over their hair or look like vagrants.

[Verbal Pararhea]

Flamboyant sports fans, or all sports fans?

How is flamboyance relevant here?

[Mkuki]

How about escaping the black culture? Not to be racists, but you guys are making a huge deal about Zimmerman and Treyvon.

Trust me, that was racist.

[Nailed to the Perch]

Do you own a TV? Do you ever eat desserts? Just curious.

Actually no, I don't watch television.

I note you didn't answer re: desserts.

[Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro]

Not everyone is Anglophone.

I talk about MY experience.

In Brazil everyone knows of these gays who hate sissies. They have issues. Period.

Everyone on this forum is writing and reading English. Assuming they can read English is a safe bet, assuming they can read Portugese is NOT a safe bet.

Well, I was just trying to counterpoint a wrong assumption ostroeuropa made about my beliefs.

If you don't want to know about gays in Brazil think, fine. If you want, try the best of your school Spanish and Google Fu.

I will not translate those blocks of text for you.

Do you typically associate vapid teenage gossip with teenagers of both sexes, or just teenage girls?

I don't really know or care who does it more, but if it will please your sensibilities, I will indicate that I also have a problem with sports because they are a vast waste of time and money and they promote a fraternity-style climate of anti-intellectualism.

Really? Is that why mathematicians are prized in Baseball? Is that why coach strategy is probably the most valuable asset in American Football?

Sports culture is very "fraternal", I'll give you that, at least in the States. Extremely sexist too (ever see "women's league" football? Jesus Christ, the outfits are skimpy as fuck). I was reading about female umpires in the minor leagues a while back, and that shit was awful.

[Jello Biafra]

I'll ask you the same question: Can you give an example of flamboyance (commonly found) in heterosexuals that annoys you?

Exaggerated excitement is a fairly unisex one.

So then you might say you dislike flamboyant sports fans because they're flamboyant (and not just because they're sports fans)?

But you do go on here. What is the function of that?

[Verbal Pararhea]

I note you didn't answer re: desserts.

I don't consume them most of the time, but even on those rare occasions I do, they at least provide caloric energy.

Which assumption.
You posted it in response to me saying "How do you know we're apparently all straight?"
You were wrong, by the way.
You still havn't justified that either.

"Here's my point, it's a source you can't read. No I won't help you read it!"

[Hetalian Indie Rio de Janeiro]

Not in any way.

There are affected, effeminate and homosexual men.

All three group overlap, but none is necessary in and of each other.

What I saw here was people confusing affected with effeminate, and questioning whether reforcing an effeminate stereotype is liberating or denigrating to the whole of gay people.

What I note is some of those opinions, generally those on the 'denigrating side', don't seem to hold in account individual freedom, and how one should be free to be whatever one wants.

Sure.
If they want to act like that, go ahead.
Just stop calling it gay culture, because it isn't gay culture.
Call it gay pride culture, or shit, Effeminate gay culture.
Eithers good. But calling it gay culture negatively affects non-effeminate gays.

The whole LGBT community and culture is about accepting human diversity.

Do you play games? (Note, while answering this, that you are posting on a forum for a game.)

Yes, being sports fans is incidental to being flamboyant.

Not an appropriate response to the statement. Try again.

Why is Brazilian Portuguese so muh easier than Euro?

That was an example of a trait that Ostroeuropa said s/he disliked.

I had 0 school Spanish. So Google FU is all I have.

Are they producing papers or making Fields medal worthy contributions to the field of mathematics?

We didn't accelerate our prosody and phonology in the 19th century onward. In the 1820s European Portuguese wasn't absurdly hard either.

[Verbal Pararhea]

Not really.

An attempt at tu quoque which fails since I do not participate in the game on this site.

Interesting. Do you tend to associate flamboyance with a particular group of people?

Which assumption.

There is a strong divide in the LGBT community over effeminate (sissy) + affected men. The ones who hate them, the ones who hate those hating them, the ones who are them, and the ones wholly indifferent or alienated from the controversy.

In Brazil the latter group is almost non-existent. Perhaps in cultures where gender roles are more liberated there isn't such a strong issue about it, and you both escaped. But I didn't saw people who didn't knew about it, before.
