Help, help, I'm being stereotyped!
Remember that wank about the video I posted a while back that basically stated that Gay Pride parades were hurting the public's opinion of homosexuality by perpetuating a sterotype?

centrifuge_xeno: "You are dancing, prancing, and skipping along as an example to the entire world of what homosexuals are like. The goal here is not to scare the hell out of everyone in the process! If I go and tell people on the street I'm a homosexual, can you guess what they are going to think? They will think I'm like one of you guys D:!"

Boom goes the dynamite.

Most amusing is the wank over this little comment. (Frankly, I've been wondering about that for years.) I'm not sure what's going on here. Or here. Gay pride=Mardi Gras. If you don't like it, don't look at it! (Bonus: mharpold8 accusing everyone of playing Second Life.)I am not going to argue, because your views are set, and taking sides is detrimental. Lo, I suffer so. Not cross-dressing in public=low self-esteem. (Hey, look, my OMG ONOZ icon!) This cannot end well. Hey, look, gerbrilsage! And we have the obligatory someone making a thought-out point with poor spelling post.

It also makes queer rage, and drama_awesome. Morgan Freeman is cited, which is awesome.

What I find sad is that every time this argument is made, it is immediately equated to conformity and opression. "Societal norms" and comparisons to civil rights are bought up, and straw men are dragged out. And it always, always turns wanky.
