LGBTAitP - Part 22: The Best There Is

[supernerd]

I am new(!) and am going to be toying with the idea about maybe sort of operating as openly gay from the beginning of my time here? I mean, on the off chance that I integrate well, and that I stay for longer than one flame war (elsewhere on site!) then let's just get that out in the open. I like dudes.

And it's baffling why I still expect a fratboy (or Meathead-juicer, if you prefer) to strike me down every time I say that. Bluh.

I am Zampanó's internalized homophobia, and this is not a reference that I'm allowed to explain.

Well this site is generally pretty cool. Kinda like "as long as you don't use it to make anyone uncomfortable intentionally (most of these types of things would make people uncomfortable if they were straight, and in that case, they'd be on the wrong forum . That or have to break out the BoEF, and there's some messed up shiz in that thing...) and you can still maintain effective characters/intelligent conversation then we're cool." I happen to belong to the nerd and performing arts communities. They're pretty cool about that kind of stuff.

One homophobic fratboy coming right up:

Brah that's like gay.

Sorry that's the best I can do

[Mina Kobold]

Also awww those are cute bears even though they are vicious killing machines that can run at 60 km/h and will kill for fun... And now I want a coca cola damn mental programming.

That reminds me of this comic.

Thank you for indirectly explaining what polar bears and cola have to do with each other! :3

Is it wrong that I have found a person that has been making me wish polyamory was more acceptable in society?

Nope, that is a perfectly all right thing to think. It is quite troublesome to be limited in how and how big you can have relationships with people.

Society would be different if I was overlord of the solar system, though. Just saying!

Welcome! *GLOMPs new person* :3

I think GiantITP has seen weirder things than sexual orientations named after synonyms for being happy. Including the clear lack of san-i-ty (I think it's a sort fo fashion sense, or maybe a dairy product! ^_^) among half the community. Internalised phobias, LGBTA-ness and justified paranoia should fit in just fine.

As I remember history, Attila never quite made it to the Americas.

Not alive, Attila didn't. But the renowned Hun did make it there undead if the secret diary of Walt Disney speaks true.

... Why do I feel like my room should be padded and my jacket unbend all of sudden?

Hai~

Don't worry about it; GitP is very LGBT+-accepting.

What. Hasn't it been, like, weeks? Maybe you should email/call them and see what's up.

Did he cross the Atlantic in an inspiring and catchy montage song?

I'd watch that...

Welcome to the forum!

[Mono Vertigo]

Welcome, Zampano!

[KenderWizard]

Hi Zampanó! And other recent people whom I didn't say hello to!

Today I had my last ever lecture as an undergraduate. Crazy times. I'm so anxious I think my stomach is slowly liquefying. Seeing a counsellor today, hope that will help. Sharing problems in an inappropriate thread, but this is where I live in the Playground.

So... how about those gays?

[supernerd]

They're so disgusting*.

*disgusting is hater for super-mega-foxy-awesome-hot!

*Glomp* I would give some advice here, but I think I would pass out at something like that. ^_^'

Luckily, you are super-duper amazing, so you should have nothing to worry about!

Except melting organs, that can't be healthy.

Woo! Congrats! But you should try to chill out a bit if you can.
Also there's a College/Uni itP thread going now, if you want to pop by.

Those gays...you mean the ones who are ruining marriage by having a lower divorce rate than hetero couples?

Hope talking with the counselor will help you out.

Cute little comic.

[pffh]

Cute little comic.

The background colour/font colour combination! My eyes are on fire!

Also gays suck.Or at least I think most of them do.

[noparlpf]

Cute little comic.

...Blood and some muscle fibers?

[supernerd]

Cute little comic.

Beautiful!

Also gays suck.Or at least I think most of them do.

Yes i do. It's a very enjoyable practice. (always my response to "you suck!")
Also the guy I like is bi and doesn't seem so keen on sucking... Not that I know from experience. We're teenage guys, so it comes up in conversation.

...Blood and some muscle fibers?

The metaphorical one sweetie.

[noparlpf]

The metaphorical one sweetie.

Oh that one.

[Lix Lorn]

So take off your jacket, have a seat, and there are refreshments somewhere.

I think there's some whipped cream on Kneenibble. :3

Cute little comic.

That is wonderful. ♥♥♥

[golentan]

No. There was, but there isn't.

I sure hope that's whipped cream...

Can I be your general/advisor/royal mistress?

[Mina Kobold]

Cute little comic.

Certainly warmed my metaphorical heart. That is very adorable and sweet/spicy*

*I like curry, so spicy is a great flavour to be compared to by me! :3

Can I be your general/advisor/royal mistress?

Of course, although generals must read your book, advisers must have a goatee (the epigenetic manipulation will take care of any biological obstacle with growing one) and I have no clue what a royal mistress does. ^_^

Do they collect royalties? That would be useful, but requires especially intimidating glares. :3

Everybody at school is making a huge deal out of my haircut. One comment I've gotten a few times (besides to obvious "It looks good") is that it looks more masculine. What do you all think about "masculine" or "feminine" hairstyles and how our perceptions of them are influenced by culture?

Edit: Amusingly, I have less facial hair than usual because I decided to shave off my sideburns. So I feel like my face should look less masculine right now. But whatever.

Edit: I just saw this on facebook. Looks like people are still reading that article.

[Mina Kobold]

I personally find the gendering of hairstyles a wee bit irritating and quite odd. It's less than a Kobold's lifetime ago that it was acceptable, or even expected, for all to wear their hair at shoulder-length or longer. But now it is nearly controversial for those assigned male to wear it any longer than was practical in early 20th century warfare.

That particular fashion saddens me, but that stems from me being a big fan of the 18th century fashions. Nothing to do with Angel or any scientists of that era. Really.
>_>
<_<

Hairstyles for those assigned female are more diverse than ever, though. So the recent development has not been completely terrible. Even if people think I look silly with my current haircut.

[noparlpf]

The drill hairstyle that's gotten popular in anime and manga lately is weird, but I could only find a few pictures of real women wearing it. Another strange one is long hair with one side of the head shaved. What is even up with that?

There is also another variation of the long hair partly shaved hairstyle and that's long hair on top but the sides are shaved. It looks bloody weird.

Yeah, should probably keep an eye on the aul stomach.

WHATAREYOUTALKINGABOUTOFCOURSEI'MCHILLEDOUT?!!

I'm not buzzing around anxious, I'm more like silent pool of despair anxious. Partly because I'm feeling overwhelmed, and partly because fatigue pretty much rules out buzzing!

Maybe I'll pop into Collegeitp. I did see it, but I wasn't up for reading/posting.

Those crazy gays, with their not-inherently-unhealthy relationships.

Hope talking with the counselor will help you out.

Cute little comic.

Talking with the counsellor was good. Unfortunately, the system is overwhelmed (apparently one in eight students use it and they never have enough money) so I can only get an appointment every three weeks. Which means twice more, once before my exams and once after.

And that is the most adorable comic I've seen in a long time! I especially like the little trans man. They're all so cute!

Like a mohawk without the antigravity?

Is it really, though? We are on opposite sides of the world, and perhaps it is different in Garland or among the kobold diaspora. However, excepting the military and business formal situations (and even then), men's hairstyles are laissez faire. I don't feel that the strictures you cite are at all in place anymore.

[pffh]

Like a mohawk without the antigravity?

Yes kinda but with even longer hair. There is one girl in my university department that has this style and her top hair goes all the way down to her stomach.

Standards are loosening up more these days, in a lot of places, but most people I've encountered growing up in New York and New England expect males to wear short hair. I've even run into strangers who told me I should have short hair.

Edit:

Weird. Though I have seen some crazy-long mohawks. I think the world record was twenty-seven inches tall, or thereabout. But the longest I've usually seen people wear regularly is only a couple of inches.
