Well, this seems to be ItL: THE THREAD at the moment... Basically. I mean, shit, I gave up inFamous 2 for the night for this topic. Think of what that means! ...on about how some fictional chick is so hot and their Final Fantasy harem daydreams So Serah is totally hooker-modo for FFXIII-2. ___ Edit...

I'm ... I'm not sure I understand what you mean by 1990 games.

DNAngel, to this day, has me puzzled over the name With. I can't put my figure on what is with With that makes me feel that way. Without a doubt, though, With is just that name I cannot come to grips with. It is to women as girl on girl porn is to men. That's about it. I'm honestly not a big porn-le...

I guess that is the better way to put it; I do a lot of mumbling of snide/sarcastic/etc. comments irl. Teehee, irl. You know, I will probably be killed for it, but I don't even like yaoi, personally. I have a morbid curiosity with why women enjoy it. It's strange and foreign to me, really and I can'...

I have no problem with Twilight itself.

I have a problem with the people who ate it the fuck up.

[spoiler]Actually, I do have a problem with Twilight since I got dragged there by an ex-girlfriend to see it.[/spoiler]

Just a thought, but I'm going to say that this isn't the case, at least not to the point you'd think. As far as I can tell, much of the activity there now is people talking about their own experiences, and since a lot of those people are girls, there's less guy-on-guy focus than would be the case o...

See, there's no way this post won't be like I'm looking down the jaws of a lion that I stuck my head into after beating their cubs to death with other cubs and wearing a steak necklace. Made of more steaks. Or some other strained metaphor involving a lion because lion's are awesome and for some reas...

Well, there is a difference between tin hatting and making an informed choice on who you will support. Much of the debate at the time was spinning uselessly into "not going to support him but what about the unknown X you did support that does Y?" and it loops endlessly. Like everything on...

Edit: I TOTALLY MISSED AN OPPORTUNITY TO JUST SAY "WINNING" I FAIL AT INTERNETZ. Carry on. Daaaaaamn editsssss, just doing this in a new post fuck it. It is way beyond "a tad". I am a gay man. I will write gay characters. Not exclusively. Not at the expense of the narrative. Not ...

Yes, but that's not an issue with writing about LGBT issues or characters, or even writing about characters that share characteristics with you. That is an issue of poor writing. Well, two things. One, I do have an issue about LGBT characters/issues that are done purely for dramatic shock value, th...

Hence the interesting thing that arose from this is the debate of can you support an author/director/producer/creator/etc. for their works while being against everything they stand against as a person, politically, whatever? At the end of the day, I just can't be the tinhat-donning person that fears...

I don't know how I feel when it's not me getting under people's skins. I thought that's the only reason I was kept around? Thing is, sometimes it is irritating as a gay person or a gay author, who wants to reflect their own experiences or see or read experiences they can relate to, only to be accuse...

Teehee, hit refresh and lost that post. Fuck my life. Anyway, I'll start by saying that comment had nothing really to do with the course of the discussion at hand, just a general thought process. I don't read much LGBT-inspired works and I can't comment on how well crafted they are and that's neithe...
