That way, it's justifiable to get angry whenever anyone fits in to a community.

No, I was saying it's justifiable to get angry when someone changes in order to fit into a community.

What mangas they like and how they dress isn't really their... personality, you know?

Was that "please" really necessary?

No, I was saying it's justifiable to get angry when someone changes in order to fit into a community.

Are they changing their values and what makes them who they are, or are they just changing the way they dress and the pitch of their voice? Sorry, my friendships aren't based on such arbitrary things, but I guess to each their own.

I didn't mean to completely correlate manga and identifying with a sexuality, but friendships do end over fandom differences. In the end, it's all about intolerance and friendships being based on the fact that someone fits in to your social circle; once they deviate from it, people become judgmental. The powers of the monkeysphere.

Are they changing their values and what makes them who they are

I don't know, are they? Is he? He isn't my friend, he's hers. I'm giving her the benefit of the doubt. I know people that HAVE changed their values and what makes them who they are over being gay, and that makes me really sad.

People change their values over everything, why are people alienating gays? I suppose I'm irritated because this didn't start just from talking about people changing in general. It was spurred from a secret that caused discussion talking about how campy gay men are attention whores. way to generalize someone's psychology.

I don't think it was an attempt to alienate gays or even intended to alienate gays, it was just an example of when a campy gay guy was a turn off.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

Yes, but because of how it was spurred (From partially agreeing with a concept or deviating from a secret that blatantly stated "I hate gays", as if 'real life' gays are not like 'fantasy' gays, since all gays are stereotypes :D). To me, men in general are a turn off. But if I saw a secret that was serious in saying "I hate men", I wouldn't go "I see where you're coming from because I'm not turned on by men, so therefore I can make fun of and hate aspects of them." in a serious tone.

Not to imply that that was what was said, but the way it was spurred was offensive.

[grayout.livejournal.com]

Well um... I'm sorry. Didn't mean to offend anyone.

[ew-younerd.livejournal.com]

You didn't offend me personally, I just thought it was gay.

Get it? Gay. Lol
