I'm glad you understand where I am coming from
Though I wouldn't blame other people for taking me the wrong way..
I think maybe a lot of it is people having a stab at the "representation" matter. This particular thread -- let's just call it, the "original" -- has been around for a very long time before my threads and the others popped up. I always saw it as a creative outlet, for people to express ideas on what sort of romance option they want, and not necessarily a matter of equal representation or whatever it is that people get their knickers in a twist about these days, on both sides of the fence.
The issue is, there is far too much generalizing. Accusations such as being branded a "SJW" just because you're gay or stick up for transgenderism. I don't appreciate these accusations myself. I am a lesbian, and stick up for transgenderism, due to very personal, and admittedly, selfish reasons. My view is this: I don't give a toss about anybody's race, sexuality, gender, blah blah blah. What counts at the end of the day is an individual's actions, which should be measured based on one's actions in life. Your race, sex, sexuality doesn't mean squat and doesn't make you who you are as a person, it's just what skin you were born in, and what type of person you like to boink.
I admit, I do get sick of repetitive threads and arguments that go in circles, which almost always boils down to political/social issues. My parody threads were written as a result of visiting the ME:A forums far too much.
So instead of getting drawn into the chaos, I just made light of the situation.
I actually really like you guys. I don't know you, nor do I talk to you on a regular basis, but I can tell, at least from here, that people like sandalisthemaker, Dave, HuldraDancer and Lady Artifice are lovely and respectful people, amongst a crowd of, put bluntly -- morons. I would never set out to offend anybody here.
Aww.
I've never had a problem with any of your threads. I know I'm a lot more serious than you are, but I've always enjoyed having you around in any thread.
p.s. So glad you're back. I was a little worried. ![]()
