Oh god it's spreading, a guy from the ME forums came over to the DA forum and called me a PC stick in the mud and a brohan. Sweet maker, brohan? 

 

[Undead Han]

actually no, it was from a thread on AI's

 

Wow.

 

The person I was thinking of did have a meltdown and threatened to kill people. I'm just surprised there are more than two people here who take **** said on the BSN that seriously.

Dare I ask what this is?

Louis?

And mine was from a well known, if not necessarily well liked forum regular

Something a probably straight man calls a gay man, when he is trying (and failing) to explain gay sex to him (honestly, that was a new one for me). Beyond that, I have no idea. Sounds like an anime character.

>sounds like an anime character

 

do you even Tolkien

Tolkien's names sounded more respectable than brohan.

 

(but now all I can think of is Lord of the Rings: the Broship of the Ring)

"Brohan" is just slang for friend, but specifically for use between two guys.

 

It's dumb California surfer lingo.

Huh and here I always thought it was Broham. Well I learned my thing for the day thanks it was getting really close to the deadline too.

(I figured the meaning, but it was used to belittle me, that's what was so surprising; still not as bad as death threats)

Of course, what is amusing about the LotR joke is that many of the riders in the film were played by women, not bros.

Yeah, that was one of the weirdest things conversations that I've had here in a while.  First he contradicts himself directly.  Then he gets all bent out of shape and twitchy.  Then it turns out that it's because he doesn't understand the term (which is totally understandable) but then follows that with refusing to accept that he misunderstood the term and instead decided to tell us that we were actually the ones using it incorrectly.

 

****.  I've been talking about power bottoms for over a decade.  I'm pretty sure that I know how to use it correctly in a sentence.

One reason why I try my best to avoid the threads with page-spanning (and often contradictory) arguments, because they aren't just frustrating and mind-boggling to get through, they're a total nightmare to extricate myself from once I've been lured in.

 

Plus I dislike how intense forum debates make me get a tad snippy after a while.

Well, I don't know what went on in that thread, but I get rather frustrated with the fixation over tops/bottoms in relation to gay men. And the idea that a guy might enjoy both (versatile) seems completely unheard of by some people. As one (gay male) poster in the Dorian thread put it: "Straight men think more about gay sex than I do."

 

Arguing over that type of thing is one of the quickest ways to get me to leave a thread. It's just stupid and ridiculous.

Sometimes I find myself wishing I could go back in time; not too far, just a little ways, with evidence that I could show my 2012 self that the same people are still going to be hating Mass Effect 3 for the same reasons, nearly 4 years later.

Ehh, I dunno where I'm going with that. Doing so wouldn't have changed my 2012 self any. I still enjoy being here, for much the same reasons as I did back then.

I did some math and fun fact:
Mass Effect was released on November 20, 2007 (according to wikipedia)
Mass Effect 3 was released on March 3, 2012
1568 days passed between those two days.
On June 23 of this year, 1568 days will have passed between that date and the release of Mass Effect 3.

I'm calling it. On June 23rd, we will finally get some news about Andromeda. It's only 135 days away.

^ Well, I think it might actually save you some frustration and spare your keyboard some of the vigorous typing you likely used it for during that time. No matter what Bioware does, even when they try to make amends, there will be people looking to fume over some issue, no matter how trivial.

[SporkFu]

Yep there will always be such people. No question. Part of the reason I'm still here

He went from "I read a book on straight sex and misinterpreted an urban dictionary definition, so I guess I win..." to the "maybe I'm not straight" defense. The fact alone that he had to google it was a dead giveaway that he should just stop.
Then I remembered I saw him before and lo and behold, he was commenting that representing sexual and racial minorities in media is not important, because there are far bigger problems like curing cancer and Palestine, and he promised he'll make people aware of it anywhere he posts... He really doesn't lead rational discussions.

I mean honestly, arguing basic gay slang (and gay relationships!) with gay people. That took me by surprise.

Yeah, this one got mad that we didn't find the bottom == girl joke extremely funny, and said that I'm being too PC for disagreeing with such "proper phrasing." Then he went to describe Hawke as a total top, because he seems so dom.

But I have to hand it to him, his trolling is very effective, it's the second time I got sucked into his pointless train of thought.

I mean complaining during 2012? Sure, it just came out, knock yourselves out. But starting those "ME3 Ending" threads in the Andromeda forum in 2016? That's just so tired. Like with the repeating caves in DA2 that were fixed in DAI, I'm pretty sure BW already knows some people were less than happy, no need to remind them every few days...

 

And EA Play is on June 12, there is no way they won't show something for MEA. Even if they really do end up delaying it.

I wish people who made this argument would actually go to Palestine and start curing cancer rather than bothering other people. 

[lynroy]

It's pretty telling that a lot of people have their own "death threat in the ME forums" story...

I'm clearly not trying hard enough then. Dammit.

[Lady Artifice]

Yeah, it's 11:30am and I've already had my fill of the public forums today.

Same guy, right? I have no idea what his point was, to be honest.

[HuldraDancer]

That is why I usually lurk. Ya'll need a little pick me up.

 

 

I'll leave for really reals now.
