Don't post in this thread to say "gay gamers are like everyone else, why do they have a special thread?" It is something that has been posted numerous times, and this isn't the place for that discussion.
For regular posters, don't quote the trolls. |
In hilarious news, I got 4th place in my 2nd Playhem Tournament! :D
I'm really happy with how I did against all of my non-Zerg opponents and if any of you casters in the making want a replay pack to cast for practice or whatever, lemme know.
In other news, let's not all get grouchy with the Christians just because they don't quite understand. I'm Christian myself and, though they mean well, sometimes it doesn't quite sound like it. If it weren't for my super powers, I'd have headbutted a few, let me tell ya. haha.
I'm really glad that kid posted.

It never starts out well when when you label an entire group of people "sinners"... while simultaneously act like you're trying to understand and support them, seems rather twofaced.
Here's a suggestion...just stop with the labels. Don't judge a whole group of people unless you know each and every one of them. That's called pre-judging or prejudice. And even if you have these thoughts...it's not ok to say them outloud without credible evidence.
I support George Carlin's : Thou shalt keep thy religion to thyself!

lately i have been feeling weird about this feeling and slightly more curious, but i dont think i could ever kiss a guy haha I don't care for the male reproductive organ at all!

I still feel kind of weird dancing with another guy...but it's all social stigma, really.
Interesting. For me it is almost the same, neoghaleon55. Until very recently I concidered myself completely straight. Not because I didn't want to be anything else, but more because I always had been in love with girls, or so I thought. If not exactly disgusted by the thought of the male organ, I've never been attracted to it.
I still don't know what's going on, but I got this friend, who is also "straight". We are very close and we recently started "cuddling" and wrestling playfully. And the feelings I get from these oh so innocent acts.. So, so much stronger than I have ever felt for any girls. We never talk about it, I don't even think about actually doing anything sexual with him or have a desire to see him without clothes. But I seriously ache for his warmth and I have to struggle every day for not leaning in for a deep passionate kiss. My heart is beating like crazy when we fool around. We never talk about any of this, but it isn't like these awkward moments either. Hard to explain it's just the way we are I guess.
My point is, maybe you, Al Capwn, hold the piece I am missing. You are interested in the one thing I am not interested in with males, the organ. Maybe there are two aspects of attraction, one being sexual and the other being emotional? If so I am at the emotional stage I guess, and you on the sexual? I am not sure, this is all very new to me.

Like I said, some mean well. You can't group them all up and say they are trying to be all high and mighty. That's pre-judging.
A core part of Christianity is accepting that you are in fact a sinner. Because sinning is, simply put, not meeting God's standard. None of us meet that mark so we are all sinners. We are all just as bad as everyone else. That is the message they are trying to convey. It isn't supposed to be all fire and brimstone. It isn't supposed to be elitist. Even if loving a person of the same gender is barred...I guarantee you still do a sinful act every day. No big deal, we all do.
My sensei taught me that the biggest flaw he found when people talk about their personal belief system is that people cling to what is different. I came to Christianity because I do it anyway. Now I have a name for what I had always believed anyway.
Next time an extremist wants to flap gums at you, just start calling attention to the stuff you share in common and they will probably get off your case. Works for me anyway.

There are many different levels of attraction. I think yours is pretty real and genuine. Scientifically, it might be the pheromone, body odor that you don't even consciously notice, that's turning you on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheromone
The warmth you're talking about is very normal and natural. Aspects of sexual and emotional longing are intertwined by the hormone called Oxytocin It's gives you a sense of warmth and bonding. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin It is released most heavily after sex or physical contact.
Anyway I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't care for the organ. I'll play with it to please other people, but it's not what I look forward to most. I appreciate the male form more than the female form however, that's how I know my orientation.

All this talk of male form has started to reawaken my desire to photograph. But my camera is broken so I'm going to end up with like...photographer's blue balls.

That'll make the slump-buster all the more gratifying of course!

congratz!

Is Stephano really gay? This is a rumour I heard once. I've got big respect for players who out themselves because it's not always easy for sure...
|
I don't really understand why everyone hates on the gay community and has to bring it to E-sports. I have some friends that are gay, I personally am not, but I could really care less what other people are. What you like to do in your spare time doesn't effect me in the slightest unless it gets in the way of your gameplay and your starting to do worse.
imo, if your gay, cool. If you're not gay, cool. No reason to hate, just play the game.
|
I've never been hate on for being gay in my exposure to eSports...then again my exposure has been extremely limited.
On a side note: Anyone in this thread getting wanting to get into the casting end of SC2?
|
I could get into some sc2 casting, I have FPS experience if it helps ^^
|
I'd love to cast SC2. I just don't have the voice for it.
|
I've done some dual casting in other games before, never casted sc2 though.
|
Silver likes casting as well. And he's super professional and keeps his shirt on the entire time.
|
we should have a GTL tourney ^.^
|
Grav or Nibbler would take it! But it would be fun
|
we've got a lot of people in the same range within masters. me, box, gdr, grav, nibbler! and alternity, whoever that is
|
Grav and Nibbler are semi pro GM-ish players. You might be able to take a game off them but if I was a betting man I'd say the finals would be Grav vs Nibbler with an EPIC anti-Zerg diatribe if Grav wins.
