What's your sexual orientation?
I don't see what that has to do with hypocrisy. You just made the statement "Gays aren't really oppressed and they are free like straight people."
I don't think I need to listen to whatever idiotic argument you can conjure up when there's overwhelming evidence that says otherwise.
I mean gay marriage JUST became legal nation-wide in america for fucks sake.

Supporting "straight people rights" is like supporting "white people rights" in threads that are about racism.
You don't have to support straight / white people, because it's them that has got all the rights and that they rights are respected. It's opposite site that has to constantly remind that they are as well humans and deserves the same rights.

Straight people talk about their relationships and their sex all the time, hell, the entire media industry caters to straight relationships, but when gay/bi people do, it's advertisement, propaganda, agenda.
Yeah right. Aren't we supposed to be equal? Then let us be equal.

That's not even close to the truth. Homosexuals have been belittled, beaten up, and even killed because of their sexuality. I've yet to see the same done to straight people. :v

There is. Plenty of people are fighting for the rights of the disabled and neurologically atypical. You're just not paying attention. And lol @ "Nutjob Rights Movement". You're trolling, or just that full of it?

"You can blacklist me. I don't support LGBT or same-sex relationships. It's just wrong." and "btw, idc, blacklist me everywhere" <-- Your comments right there.
So yeah, it's not like you asked for it, or anything. Also, you acted like a bit of an asshat in that thread. Just sayin'.

Yeah, I wrote that. I don't support LGBT. How many times should I repeat it? Yes, I can't get how being gay and fucking with the same gender is even possible (not physically, but psychologically)!!! I support straights, and being straight. And yeah, I wrote "blacklist me" there, cause it was written that he/they will blacklist people not supporting gays, and wrote here that I am being blacklisted for NOT SUPPORTING them, anything wrong with it?
Well, why should I support them?? I don't care what do they do, if they have anal sex or not. I just don't wanna see them. They like each other? okay. They have sex? OKAY. Do what you wanna do, but don't call it out. Why should we always read about your relationships? They are yours! We, straights, don't report about our actions, we don't create discussions saying I AM STRAIGHT. We just don't care what others think about us. And you are always shouting out, GAYS GAYS GAYS LGBT. Why should I support gays? Am I obligated? NO, I am NOT! I support straights! Don't shoutout, don't mess everything up. You wanna be gay? Be a gay, but don't involve us in it. Thanks.

maybe it's a language issue but...
stop saying "i don't support gay rights" if you want to be neutral.
it's like me saying "i don't support men/women marriage". it obviously means i don't agree with it thus i'm against the idea.
if you want to be neutral just say "i don't care".

An Arabian guy at the aeroport:
– Name?
– Ahmed al-Rhazib.
– Sex?
– Three to five times a week.
– No, no… I mean male or female?
– Male, female, sometimes camel.
– Holy cow!
– Yes, cow, sheep, animals in general.
– But isn’t that hostile?
– Horse style, doggy style, any style!
– Oh dear!
– No, no! Deer run too fast.

Straight here, but I've got no problem with people being gay. Well except for that one obviously akward moment when a gay guy was hitting on me, or that one time I figured out too late that this really cute girl I was growing feelings for was a lesbian.

Eh, it went past that point and into "it's not cool anymore" range on both counts. Things just go weird if emotions get strong enough.

I identify as ICBM.
Joke aside, I'm a posthumanist, so my views on sexuality are a little different, since I see sex as a facet of body identity and not as a personal identity, if that makes sense. So for example, if someone lives in a male body or a female body or a machine body, it changes what sexuality means for that individual, even if it is the same individual. It's a little complicated, and it doesn't mean I don't have any sexual preference, but rather that I think that human identity is more fluid than we assume and that sex is something that can be associated with biological functions not innately linked to being human, so I don't settle for an identity. I find things to be attractive or cute, but I don't necessarily find them sexually attractive because I see a disconnect between features and functions.

I prefer divide people by only one criteria: victimists and non-victimists.
so, kudos for you guys for showing how sexual orientation is irrelevant in gaming world.

plot twist: you are a woman. xD
question to english native people: is there a way to identify the sex of who writes by its writing?
(i'm asking this because in portuguese, most of times, the words that people use refer to its gender - like "mine" has "meu" (male) and "minha" (female).)
Comment has been collapsed.
No :P but I guess girls tend to use faces more often in texting situations?
Comment has been collapsed.
I've heard that some people think they can identify gender by assessing the writing habits of the writer; however, unless the person writing has explicit tells, it's difficult to discern for certain. Some people adapt how they type to contexts, which can provide the impression of a different identity in certain contexts. A friend of mine who would never be mistaken for stereotypically female was just assumed to be female in a game because of the way he typed, which surprised him (I saw it, though, and would have agreed). That said, it's hard to tell, because there is no self-reference in English that implies gender (all first person pronouns are neutral).

this is exactly what I was looking for! thank you for explain it... that's why you already were whitelisted.
maybe after sometime I can instinctively identify peoples gender... :|

I think it would be pretty hard, especially given that some people simply sound like the community they're in (especially in English, and even more accurately on the internet). There's a sort of mimetic element to modern English which adapts to the community it's in, so jargon and slang make it difficult to identify people on the internet accurately. If you're lucky you might find someone with a more unique voice, but even then an individual could be any number of things and have a unique voice; for example, when I write stories, I give my characters dialects and speech patterns that I feel reflect their personalities, but it would be difficult to guess all of their characteristics. I had a professor critique one of my stories by saying the protagonist was a bit patriarchal, when in reality the character was female. I thought I even gave enough clues, but apparently it went over his head.

I'd find the US gay marriage thread... but I'm lazy, as proved by the Hunger Games. :p
No, but really... that thread. Eek. It's probably better not to link it.
Comment has been collapsed.
True, and it was nice to see how much of the community is supportive. I think it's just I normally assume topics about sexuality on gaming sites aren't always the best idea. Even when started with good intentions, there's an awful lot of ways it can go sour.
The silence is almost eerie this time. lol

Agree, but the abusive types can get discouraged pretty quickly if they can't find any support whatsoever for their closed-minded opinions in the community (+ I don't think that I'll ever stop praising SG's community).
In that case, they normally just go away thinking to themselves something like "heh, stoopid gays and their supporters, those traitors to the straight kind" (I know my medieval-minded country all too well, to not know, what's going on in their heads).

I have to agree this place is one of the nicest gaming communities I've been a part of, and not just because of the support shown in those other threads - this place is almost insanely friendly just in general.

Demisexual.
I want to share my life with someone whilst we both stay autonomous.
Comment has been collapsed.
I am torn...on one hand I am happy to see Asexual in there, on the other hand the amount of joke categories and legitimate ones that you have left out make me think this is less of an intelligent conversation starting thread about, say the differences of Demisexuals and Omnisexuals compared to Asexuals, but more so about sexist and smartass comments.
Comment has been collapsed.
I never even heard of demisexual to be honest, and omnisexual i didn't really though about it.
I thrown in a few "joke" ones to keep it a little bit light (seeing as other similar threads resulted in bad discussions) as for missing some legitimate ones that why there was the other option.
Myself i am bi and was curious to see how many people there are in a certain category and surpsied to see so many being bi too.
This thread i made for that, but offcourse there are a few that make a joke, but if someone wanted to post a serious comment (/discussion) they should be free to do so too (and some did), just hoping it stays within boundaries.

Since we have so many polls, thought it was interesting to know the demograph. Keep it light, also we are here not to judge. :p
