Re: Political correctness, at its best. Zalvera Send a noteboard - 10/01/2013 04:59:42 PM

But the random "here's a gay man!" crap is ridiculous since it's quite obvious it only got trotted out to satisfy all the people whining because they hadn't seen a gay man yet and wanted to feel validated by a stupid work of fiction.


They should have existed before now and it shouldn't have been necessary to make any particular point of it. Just like in real life. Is tokenism better than nothing? I don't know.

the Tower tries its best to breed man-hating, militant feminist, butch lesbians


Er...that's a bit extreme.

That you're offended at gay people for having the temerity to exist is hilarious. Ghavrel - 13/01/2013 12:15:48 PM 1530 Views
Nothing she said indicated that; she only objected to throwaway characters for the sake of gayness. Joel - 14/01/2013 06:01:36 PM 1252 Views
Just like the Sea Folk having dark skin is tokenism. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/01/2013 07:33:15 AM 705 Views

That you jump to the conclusion that I'm offended by gay characters is both laugable and sad... lilltempest - 14/01/2013 06:06:30 PM 1315 Views

Culture plays a role in how people see homosexuals, not in there being homosexuals darius_sedai - 15/01/2013 10:50:14 PM 1258 Views
I didn't say anything about that. I said that culture plays a role in determining sexual expression. Ghavrel - 16/01/2013 02:17:45 AM 1273 Views
I think we will have to agree to disagree ... People are born the way they are darius_sedai - 16/01/2013 04:21:33 AM 1199 Views
