You have my condolences. I'm stuck with the same virus... er, I mean, OS.
And thus, NOTHING EVER WORKS RIGHT.

as it this (sterotypical) type of gay person that really get on my nerves.
I'm going to sound really full of myself for a second here, and I apologize since I really don't think I am, but...
I think the problem is that people write/create/etc characters who
are X thing.People keep complimenting my OC in the DA fic... if I changed her gender, she'd be the same character. Now, that might seem obvious since she's a very butch gal, but I think I can safely say that of
any of my characters. Tannusen's had fanart drawn of him, people liked him so much, but if I made him a girl he'd be the same. Akara from TAF would do fine as a dude.
Same thing goes for orientation, too, IMHO.
...Now obviously I'm oversimplifying, and these things can
color a character, even irreversibly. But I think one of the main mistakes a person can make is when they
start with "I'm going ot make a gay male!" and go from there, for example.
*climbs off soap box before I can really get ranty* [smilie]../../../images/forum/emoticons/grin.png[/smilie] I rant about this a lot IRL.
AND ALSO, IT'S PROBABLY NOT EVEN THE MAIN POINT. BUT IT'S 1AM HERE AND I AM LOW ON TEA.
Being low on tea alone deserves capslock-armflail. TRUE STORY.
EDIT: WHY DOES THE FORMATTING KEEP HITTING ME OH GOD.
