If a man had a crush on Page 10 years ago, does that mean he was attracted to a man? If a lesbian had a crush on Page 10 years ago, does that mean she was attracted to a man?
- Spivak 4y agoThis isn’t a gotcha. No neither the man nor the woman was attracted to a man because what they were attracted to was their internal perception of Elliot which was a woman in their heads. If I draw a person you assume to be a woman based on their appearance and you’re attracted to them I can’t be like “haha he was actually a man your gay now.” That’s stupid and applies exactly the same to real life people. If you’re attracted to someone because you thought they were kind and it turns out they were actually mean people don’t go, “see what you’re really attracted to is mean people.” No you were just attracted to the person you thought they were.
- crackercrews 4y agoI like your comparison to a mean person. But the true analogy is if someone is attracted to a person they know in 2010 who is a jerk at that time. Then the person becomes nice 10 years later. At that time the person is not attracted to the new personality. But the person says "I identify as a person who has always been nice, and you liked me 10 years ago, so therefore you like nice people." That doesn't add up, at least for me. Especially if you're not allowed to say that the person used to be mean since due to their current self-identification as nice.
