I'm bailing on this thread, but my accounting of what happened here is that you repeatedly mischaracterized my position (even accusing me of homophobia, which is incredibly insulting, btw), while I calmly re-iterated my position. Given that, I don't really see the need to change what I'm doing.
- rosser 8y agoI did not accuse you of homophobia, though that is a legitimate read of my comment, as phrased. I took your position of normalizing "traditional" human sexual dynamics and pointed out (in a manner admittedly somewhat motivated by, "Oh, god. Not this shit again...") the slippery slope you're treading. If you feel I mischaracterized your point, I apologize. It was not my intent. I just have entirely too many queer and non-mainstream friends whose lives have been terribly adversely affected by other people telling them the myriad ways they're wrong, not to be a little reactive to it. Your overall point isn't wrong. How you phrased it (and how I phrased my response) could have been done in a way that was more cognizant of how broad the brush you're swinging might seem to people getting splattered as you swing it. Is that an unreasonable ask?
