I wouldn't really call those first world countries, at least not on the level that South Korea is.

I would like to say religion but when looking at South America, the answer appears to be otherwise. This is most likely a poor, but it may have something to do with conservative Confucian values?

Btw I would be interested on other countries perceptions of Australia's homophobia or lack thereof. Personally I think we are kinda not great, a study was in The Age about a national racism survey... with dissappointing results

Wikipedia has a good article on it. It seems the mandatory military service and the amount of importance placed in it in Korean society (especially in regards to employment) means that anyone who is openly gay is basically committing career suicide. When there is such little public visibility and awareness it places increased pressure on those that actually are gay to remain hidden.

It wouldn't surprise me if there were several gay or bisexual pro-gamers in Korea who simply don't acknowledge it, especially when Korean friendships between males seems a lot more intimate than in the West. What some people would consider homosexual behaviour in the West would be perfectly normal between two close friends in Korea.

But yeah, I can't see it being a good environment for a gay non-Korean pro-gamer.

According to my opponents, I'm a faggot who should play a real race.

I'm curious to see how gay TLer's react to typical BM that consists of "gay" and "fag". Do you just shrug it off? Or do you bother to report it?

It does not bother me at all when people say something is "gay" e.g. it's bad or whatever. I know it's just something some people say - all my friends say it often and I even say it from time to time, from hearing it so much.

What a great question.

Super fucking hard to answer.

There's 2 parts.

At first, when you're young, you have no control over these mannerisms. I don't know where we get them from, but many of us have them from a very very young age. I myself was very feminine when i was pre-12 years old. My nickname in elementary school was "girly-boy". (which, while mean, didn't offend me all that much because at the time i considered women to be superior to men. GOD i was gay. lol)

Once i got about 10 years old i realized what 'gay' was and realized that i was acting pretty fucking gay, and started to develop a complex about it. I went from being a loud/out-going awesome kid to a depressing one pretty quickly. By the age of 13 i was riddled with many depression and anxiety disorders. I dropped out of highschool at the age of 14 cause of all those issues.

I would sometimes hear what would come out of my mouth, and i would close my eyes and wish i ceased to exist because of how embarrassed i was. The stupid part is by the time i dropped out of highschool, i had learned to drop most of the mannerisms (but not all). I wasn't that flamboyant.

Other kids aren't so lucky. They have no control no matter how much they try to hide it. They're doomed to relentless teasing and prejudice, much worse than any other kinds i've seen in school. One of the flamers at my school was attacked by some guys in the locker room who thought he was checking them out. They didn't beat hm up to bad but they all pissed on him in the showers. pretty sad.

So yeah, those gays learn to get really tough. In fact, i was thinking about this the other day, and those kinds of gays are probably some of the toughest people i've ever met. They've never been able to hide behind their masculinity like i have, they've had to live every day of their life out in the open.

After so much torture, you only have 2 ways you can cope. You can either kill yourself (too many of them still take this route), or you can fiercely and unapologetically be your fantastic flaming faggot self. This is the second part. Once gays realize that they can't control it, they will often embrace it and that's when they 'play it up' (though that's such an aweful way to put it). This is the threshold between being gay and being fabulous.

Since getting to know many fabulous people, i'm no longer bothered by it in the slightest. Infact, these kinds of people are hilarious, good, amazingly strong individuals. I'm not attracted to them in the slightest, but they definitely don't annoy me like they certainly used to.

I am straight but the thought of putting my tongue in a dank vagina disgusts me. I have only got myself to do it once and it was naaaasty. This doesn't mean I'm gay does it?
