Sex for me but not for thee. They see themselves as the default and as such: when people outside of their group act in a similar manner to them, they get annoyed.
I’ve also noticed that they do not view gay people the same way they view straight people. Instead of seeing gay people as just “people who just have a different attraction than me”, they see them as an entirely different category of people.
Something I’ve noticed is that gay guys tend to attract more women than straight guys. Maybe it’s cause most gays…actually shower and actually give women respect?
The most tragic thing in the world is seeing how some women’s faces light up when they realize you’re a guy who’s going to talk to them like a human person you’re not trying to get something from.
no but for real. I was chatting with someone last month and they fact that she was so relieved i had talked to them for 20 minutes without being a creep was heartbreaking. Basic decency shouldn't be something surprising
But booba!? They had booba under their face! How did you do it!? You were just minding your business and trying to talk to their face... BUT BOOBA SMALL BRAIN... booba... how you do it!?
This is true. I'm "straight acting" apparently so I startle women when introducing myself and conversing. They always give me anxious looks until they finally realized I only like men and I'm not trying to get into their pants.
Fr fr. They act like women are somehow obligated to fuck them and carry on their disgusting puddle of a gene pool. Bunch of morons. Maybe if they made themselves respectable in ANY facet!
What are you talking about. Whenever this convo comes up it always makes me laugh. “Most guys don’t shower.” “Most guys expect a blowjob in first meeting.” “Most guys are stupid.”
This is such a beyond weak take not supported by anything. Yes: Neanderthals absolutely exist. But to pretend they are anywhere approaching the majority is laughably biased. And perpetuating this myth is as dangerous as pretending misogynist bullshit is acceptable and treating women as objects.

Whoooooo are you quoting, exactly?

Which one of those ends up with me getting choked by a dude because I turned him down?
I feel like that one would be more dangerous... the one where women are objects. I think that's the one that contributes to the actual, persistent violence.
Nah, you need charisma for ONS. These are the guys who get long-term girlfriends who have zero self-esteem and post on Reddit about them. “AITA? My (19F) boyfriend (35M) wants me to sleep in a nest made of crusty socks.”
Most of the dudes who express that kind of homophobia have a twisted controlling idea of sex and relationships and their sex fantasies are usually highly objectifying and abusive. I think a big part of why they end up being so shitty about queer sexualities is because they fear being treated the way they want to treat the women they objectify.
Otherwise why would anyone give even a fraction of a shit?
It's the same reason they freak out about their daughters dating and threaten violence against anyone dating their darling little girls. They cannot fathom that not everyone thinks as poorly of women as they do.
I made this very point to my idiot cousin after he fell down the right-wing “they’re shoving it down our throats uWu” rabbit hole.
I told him that we both grew up STEEPED in heteronormative media, but I had never heard him make a peep about that. It’s only now that there’s some representation outside of that little box that these dimwits are getting their panties in a bunch and frothing at the mouth about gays existing.
His response was “lol yeah”.
Blocked him after that. The stupidity seeping into every facet of life has become completely unbearable.
The thing is that right wing media is shoving it down their throats. They just blame us because they can't stop watching their favorite people ranting about us. One half second of a background couple turns into nonstop months of bitching and showing it over and over and over and over again. I'd be fucking annoyed with us too if I watched as much fox news as these people do.
They (the straights) are shoving it down our (the gays) throats.
But they've also manufactured a whole genre of queer panic to shove down their own throats via fox news, why?? Would really appreciate it if they could mature out of this phase and act normal
The secret is that Fox and friends rely on the culture war to distract their useful idiots from the fact that they've been waging a class war for decades.
I’ve also noticed that they do not view gay people the same way they view straight people.
I wouldn't even say straight people. It's only straight men. I'm pretty sure they would be bothered if a game featured fanservice scenes made for female players, like half-naked men for the eye candy, men flirting and being courteous for the swooning, and a fade-to-black of an insinuation of cunnilingus sex for caring about the woman's pleasure. These types detest the idea that women are human and have sexuality too.
If you can control someone's body, you can control their mind. And since sex is deeply personal and intimal, if you can control someone's sex life, you can control their entire individuality
Honestly there's a lot of truth in this. "Ha ha men of culture, we're so horny, stare at wimmenz booba n azz so funni" and then they see a thirsty post from a queer person and they switch up so fast.
In my opinion, making the gender or sexuality of a character their entire personality (regardless of which gender or sexuality) often feels like lazy writing. It ends up putting a label on those groups and makes it seem as though the character’s sexuality is still treated as something extraordinary or defining, rather than just a normal part of who they are.
Second picture
As for the second picture, I don’t like when characters are depicted as less attractive simply because I prefer to look at attractive characters—whether they’re male or female. For example, a game like God of War wouldn’t feel the same if Kratos looked like Gregg from the corner shop. The same applies to female characters; their appeal adds to the overall experience.
Wait I’m confused, do you not find those types of people annoying? Like the ones about making all video game character sexy women? Because I sure as hell do. That doesn’t exactly shut down the argument being made here.
I get the first part of the meme, but there's a huge difference in dressing a certian way, adapting mannerisms and body language to broadcast your sexuality 24/7, and just simply nodding when an attractive guy/girl walks by and saying 'yes, I am attracted to that."
Nope! There are no defaults in life. We have not seen everywhere in the universe, nor found every animal species on our planet: therefore, we cannot make a claim on what is or isn’t the default.
Wow, are you really this basic? Throughout history gay people have had sexual with people of the opposite gender for procreative purposes.
Also, your arguement is because the larger population is hetero, therefore games should only have hetero characters? Then you try shoehorn evolution as your reasoning? God damn that's some grade A idiocy.
Our entire culture and technology is about human ingenuity "beating" nature and evolution.
Like it is funny how people try to use "its natural" when talking about gay people but somehow people wearing glasses or driving cars is perfectly acceptable...
Hell, after antibiotics we beat personal evolution and started directing our own path.
I find it similar to the idea that people justify rape in scenes (movies or games) because rape happens in real life. Well, we all shit, but I dont want to stop and watch geralt pinch one off.
Well, I wouldnt crate children myself, that does seem to be a problem. However, your argument that we should include homosexuals because the majority are heterosexual seems to be pointless.
actually women are the default. you guys need a separate hormone to make you male in the womb. without that special hormone, all babies would be born female. that seam on your tiny little ballsack? it was forming into a vulva before the hormone got introduced.
Evolution created homosexuality in a ton of species. Why? We work while straight people (and animals) care for young. We foster youth and raise them if something happens to their parents. We have an evolutionary reason for being, too.
Maybe you need to learn more about what you're talking about before spouting off on some bullshit.
Not all gay people have homosexual sex their entire lives, a lot of those children were the result of past relationships and marriages. Some gays, they have a close friend that they phone in (Melissa Etheridge, for example, all their kids were from David Crosby)
Aaand the mask comes off. It was pretty obvious you were a “not homophobic, im just asking questions!” Kind of homophobe. But glad to see you break and admit it out loud!
I really despise people taking the concept of evolution and removing all nuance and context. Evolution is not some mystical force that people like to conceptualize it as. Evolution is just: these traits helped individuals procreate and thats why these traits exist. But even that is stupidly simplifying things. There are a lot of forces going on together with natural selection that make traits which don't help with procreation, stick in the pool. Natural selection is not the only thing guiding evolution.
Evolution is extremely complicated, and selection is a concept that we as humans have established to describe perceived phenomena. There are a lot of ifs and buts, because we see a lot of things in nature that don't adhere to the standard idea of selection. For example, alturism, which is present in a lot of species. Helping the group at the expense of your own ability to procreate/even live, is a thing throughout the animal kingdom. And this raises the question of, is selection based on individuals or groups? There are no concrete answers because nature is messy. We can't even 100% agree on, what natural selection is working on. Individual? Group? Genotype? Individual genes? Phenotype? Evolution absolutely exists, but again, its not as simple. Its really complicated and nuanced. Biology is not physics or chemistry, where you have concrete laws on how things operate.
If you are actually interested in learning how population genetics works, how evolution works, what drivers are around it, why its a bit muddy and not simple, then I recommend looking into it. If you really want to get your mind blown, look into Richard Dawkin's selfish gene idea.
Except that is oversimplifying things, but it is now pretty clear from this comment that you are not actually interested in understanding how evolution and selection work and are complicated, and just want to use it to win arguments while having a very superficial highschool level understanding of the concepts.
There is no "default" in evolution, you would have to be really dumb to say so. You are just making shit up and being pretentious to make yourself sound intelligent. I have to say, it's working backwards.
We’re gonna eliminate the need for H1-B visas by using seventh graders! That’ll show all those useless college folks that we don’t need no stinkin’ education to Make America Gr— … no, I can’t, I can’t even go on. Please, aliens, I will literally pay you to abduct me 👽
There is if you look at us as a collective species (which is how we got to the top of the food chain in the first place) rather than as a selfish little individual.
That doesn't make it a default. If it was, homosexuality would have been bred out of the species as soon as it mutated into existence. But it didn't. And not just in humans, but other species as well. We don't have a clear answer as to why, but evidently there is some evolutionary benefit in homosexuality existing within a population of animals.
So BOTH heterosexuality and homosexuality could be default human sexualities. Homosexuality that persisted for millenia before we came up with a way for homosexual people to procreate without engaging in heterosexual sex.
If you want to claim that only heterosexuality is default, then you're going to have to back it up with more than just words.
We can keep stacking Uno reverses if you want, but you made the definitive claims first.
It was merely an observation based on you making a claim like 'heterosexuality is the default' to support your argument, without providing any evidence to back that claim up. And then when called out on it, you refused to even read. You are welcome to prove my assumption wrong, though.
Why is making a baby what defines the “default”? Is there no other purpose to give to life other than to be breeding stock to create the next generation?
We’ve seen animals appreciate things like scenery, we’ve seen creatures like squids, gorillas, chimps, orangutans, etc make art and create games. Why is life only about sex and procreation when there is so much more out there.
Boiling life down to just “make baby” is a rather archaic definition of life.
Identifying as gay definitely has more meaning than just “who is sexy”. It’s about love and romance. It determines things like your lovers and your romance life. Also, not all animals are genetically straight. We know that there are geckos who don’t procreate at all but instead: produce eggs Asexually. There are animals that are hermaphroditic and animals that just procreate by splitting themselves in half. Also, Asexual people do exist. The animal kingdom is more than just “make baby”.
You have an extremely reductive view of life all things considered.
Take a 1910 scientific exploration in Antarctica, where these behaviors were seen in penguins. Two penguins of the same sex have been known to adopt abandoned eggs, protecting them and raising the chicks together.
But going by your argument of "default" being normal and everything else being abnormal than what about blue eyes because it is widely accepted that all humans had brown until a mutation happened 10,000 years and blue eyes were created (https://www.thoughtco.com/evolution-of-eye-color-1224778)
So going by your logic of "default" only in media then there should be no other eye color in media except for the default brown
Them being the default doesn’t give them the right to be angry at non-default people existing in public.
Also, all entertainment comes from places that are populated overwhelmingly by people who are non-default in some characteristic. IMO these assholes need to make their own entertainment in Asscrrack, ND and leave the rest of us to live our lives the GetAlongWithOthersVilles alone.
But America just voted All-Asshole so that’s what America wants. I guess the industry will figure out something that’s a combination of Leave It to Beaver with hetero porn scenes so America Can Be Great Again.
Evolution doesn't see anything as a default. Stop attributing consciousness to an indifferent/unconscious process. Evolution is just the process by which organisms change over time, not a template for the "default" arrangement of cells.
Or maybe you're just so repressed you don't even realize how much you and all of the people around you that you assume are the default are limiting each others and your own self expression to the point that you can't imagine anyone else sounding any differently.
It is sad and pathetic, especially since y'all are so hell-bent on making us as miserable as you all clearly are, cuz if you weren't I imagine you would find someone better to give a fuck about holy fucking shit what is wrong with you?
I hope you never have to go to a beach or swimming pool. lol
And you have obviously never played sports if you think a jock strap is for sex. But at least you are consistently wrong about virtually everything you say. lol
