I have to date witnessed (by which I mean saw posted or was linked to, no copypasta without source) the following, boiled down to their distilled stupid:

A. DIRK ISN'T A REAL HOMOSEXUAL, YOU JUST TACKED THAT ON HUSSIE!

B. WHY DID YOU MAKE THE ONLY GAY HUMAN A FUCKING PONYFAG, THAT'S SOME BULLSHIT

C. WAIT, SO NOW HE'S BI? (After the shades bit came to light) GODDAMNIT YOU COULDN'T HAVE A REAL HOMOSEXUAL COULD YOU?

Capped for the screaming rage of social justice.

[(Anonymous)]

Just tacked that on? The very first thing we ever found out about the guy when he was introduced two years ago was that his house was full of homoerotic overendowed puppets. This is really news to people?

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

That's bro though, not Dirk. Dirk's a whole different animal. For one thing, Bro seemed to be interested in puppets more then people.

And Dirk's more into horses. And Jake English.

EquiusxDirk is my OTP really.

But getting back, yes. Yes it was apparently news to some.

Plus, I have a sneaking suspicion some of these people are the ones who started reading at act five and never went back.

[(Anonymous)]

good thing i actually started from the beginning and get the backstory instead of just reading the wiki.

[cleverthylacine]

But Bro is Dirk. I mean they have different histories because it's post scratch but they're the same basic people so they'd have the same basic genetic inclinations, plus, if Roxy being a drunk stayed true after the scratch, I kind of think gay is a shoo-in, because alcoholism (like sexual orientation) may have a genetic component but if you don't have booze and stress in your life (post-birth environmental factors) you won't be alcoholic, whereas it appears to be highly likely that whatever it is that makes a person with a genetic predisposition to be gay or lesbian switch those genes on happens before you're two, if not before you're born.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

And yet, we've seen serious divergences already. Again, the focus. Bro likes Puppets. A lot. Seemingly to the exclusion of people. Dirk likes ponies, which was an aspect I don't recall being even a thing, and presumably Jake English. I say presumably because only the shades have actually stated this, and they are three years of experiences different (and, I wonder if Shades Dirk is pansexual simply by virtue of the fact he no longer possess hormones, and thus has circumvented the genetic process entirely to focus on whatever he finds mentally engaging)

That said, considering what we know of Bro, Dirk isn't especially shocking either. But again, Im just reproducing the stupid, I don't pretend to know how this blindsided those people, but my theory is they are act fivers.

[cleverthylacine]

For me the divergences we've seen so far that can't be explained by the fact that it's an entirely different universe (we have crab lusii running around on earth, gushers taste like bugs, etc) are more or less all explained by the fact that Bro and Mom weren't 15. I've got a lot of hobbies, interests and skills--and emotional damage--as an adult that I didn't have when I was 15.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

I'll still theorize that if Dirk goes the same route, he's gonna have a horse porn site instead.

This is one of those things we will just have to wait and never see who's right. :P

...

I mean, Hussie is far from perfect, and when people have problems of an SJ nature with fiction I tend to side with them. But COME ON. (The bi thing is kind of legit - although wtf "real homosexual" I hope you're paraphrasing - but we don't actually know what went on in those chatlogs or how much of it was irony on his part. Possibly all of it was.)

In conclusion, I really hope some Dirk secrets get posted next week so we can all have an excuse to talk about him.

[insanenoodlyguy.livejournal.com]

Fraid not. That part was the very words used. "real homosexual". You don't forget when you read that kinda stupid.

Edit: And for the record I'm not saying it's impossible Dirk isn't bi/pansexual (especially the last) but the anger about it? That's just silly.

[(Anonymous)]

Honestly, I'm sort of hoping his sexuality won't be described any more than it currently is ("I don't see why it has to be a thing") because I'm selfish and would like to see a human character whose views on gender and labels and such are the same as mine.
