You made this secret just to cause wank, but with the wording you used I think you are not going to get very interesting responses. You are just going to get a lot of "GTFO, moron." Where's the fun in that? If you can't even cause righteous indignation and rage by hooking us with some ignorant, idiotic line like, "I'm glad there are no gay people and everyone ends up in a het relationship in LoK. The world makes more sense that way. I wish our world was like that..." then why bother? I mean, come on! You even said, "Why yes! I am a homophobe! How did you guess! Muhahaha!" I can just see you twirling your little troll mustache.

However, I see that stealth critique of LoK's focus on romance and the media's focus on pairing off people into hetersexual relationships. You could have hooked LoK fans who like the romance aspect and pit them against the haters. You could have brought out the people who desire seeing homosexual relationships portrayed along side heterosexual relationships without it being a big deal or "Oh my god! They're gay!" against the uncaring or bigoted. So much potentional squandered with poor word choice.

i dunno, would've done lower than a 5/10 tbh

the "i'm a homophobe" qualification at the end leaves little room for back and forth arguments and more indignant screaming. if they'd cut that bit out then people could've at least called the secret maker a homophobe themselves and subsequently gotten into comment arguments about heterosexual vs. homosexual relationships in media vs. fandom and whether preferring hetero ships makes you homophobic. it's a tired fight but people love having it.

See, I was originally going to go 0/10 for obviousness and poor wording, but then I caught what I consider to be the troll's true intent- satire. I think the main point was to draw attention to and show frustration for heteronormativity. However, this point is almost completely obscured. The "Yeah, I'm kind of a homophobe," is a the troll taking on the persona of LoK shippers and fans, who tend to prefer het pairings, and/or the series creators. So, I bumped up the score to account for cleverness. Satirical trolls are the best kind of trolls, but unfortunately we don't see them too often. Satire is an excellent way to expose true bigotry, while opening the minds of the others who may be ignorant of certain issues, so I always give appreciate the effort, even if the effort was pretty poor quality.

ah. i see your point, trollometer. maybe this secret will inspire more nuanced ones in the future.

You're kinda right. I was more or less making fun of a Korra fan but alas, this is my more obvious secrets.

You totally punk'd me, OP. :0

(Mostly because I've heard eerily similar statements in real life.)

"That's/You're homophobic!"

"Yeah, so what? *insults or threats against homosexuals*"

Better luck next time!
