Gay Stereotypes vs laptops vs americans

[Czar]

LOL, a small development group decided to make a game Similar to LSL but with a gay protagonist.
The working title should be The hunt for the golden joystick.Lol.
So now i see in what direction the adventure games are going  

Oh yeah (OT), is it true that in the US laptops dont cost more than 200$?

[Scummbuddy]

There is no link for us to join in in your merryment.

and i guess you could get one for that much money, but you probably wouldnt want it.  a good one starts at about 800

[Darth Mandarb]

If anybody knows where to get a laptop in the US for only $200 please let me know!!!

Search for the Golden Joystick ... that's a good title!

Gay Adventures are old news!

Play Stickman and notice the homoerotic tension between Doug and Toby.

Then again, they could just be two really good friends!

Or cousins!

[rodekill]

With a name like Snake, how can I resist?

[Czar]

rode, sorry if you got my lol as laughing to gay and all different people. It was just funny for me to hear about a game that has a similar concept like LSL, but with gay people.
Now you tell me, if you played the gayme wouldnt you find it even a bit humourous?

[m0ds]

Its amazing to think that those who made "F*ck Quest" were actually quoting Shakespeare.

I am totally fed up with the whole gay thing.  

And so is most of America. But it just keeps on coming. With Queer eye for the straight guy thing aren't going to get any better either. I just wish queers would shut up.  

If that's how they wanna live then let then that's fine but please, shut up.  

Somebody stop me.   I'll just keep on typing.

[Ghormak]

That's excellent reasoning, Raggit. I once saw somebody with red hair act like a total ass, so therefore I hate everybody with red hair.

[anasazi]

Hmm . . . more gay rights . . . $200 dollar laptops . . . anyone else see a connection here?  Why are we objecting?  Hell, maybe if we allow gay marriage, we can get our laptops free!  Free!
I hardly think of "Queer Eye for the Straight Guy" as being the voice of the GBLT community in the US - anymore than I think of lesbian porn as a weapon of women's lib.

On topic . . . it would be nice to know *who* this group was.  LSL was a success partly because the main character was a mockery of the social life of how the world sees engineers - backwards, awkward, badly dressed . . .
It might be a PR nightmare to create a game that has that same mocking element for a minority population.  (The equivalent of doing a blackface game, if what I'm imagining is correct.)

raggit if you're kidding then: heh

raggit if you're not kidding: shut up

i'm sure some "crazy homo" walked up to NBC or whoever and said "HEY! I'm a fag, this is the show we're gonna do! It's about gay people doing what they do best! Make overs and style! I don't care if no one will like it, you're gonna make it and play it even if america hates it!" and NBC did it cause they were afraid of AIDS.

some marketing group probably said "Let's exploit ideas and stereotypes about homosexuals and make a show about it. People want to see something new and homosexuality is the new interrracial couple!" so the execs said "They won't be doing that 'fellatio' thing will they? No? Then fine, just don't mention anything about their sex lives, only in the title."

But yea, freakin' gays! First they get on our TV and now our ArchBishopsness! It's like they completely came out of no where and this is the first time anyone's ever heard of them!

And since Czar offered no link or point of reference i can't find anything worth talking about in response to the topic, i would say some thing in response to anasazi but it would just be speculation and "well maybe they'll do this!"

[Raggit]

All I said was I'm sick of hearing about gays. Who, BTW, are actually only 6 % of the population, but
becuase of shows like QEFTSG (what an abbreaviation!) they are "advertised" and are shoved up in our faces.  It's such an annoyance.    

What was so terrible about that?  

If you wanna discuss this thing, PM me or something, so that we'll not disturb this thread further.  And if you do, please tell me wich part of my post rubbed you the wrong way and why.  Oh yes, and any "your an ass" PMs will be removed and ignored.

Czar, I'm sorry for firing up this thread and running it off course.  

[taryuu]

now would this agme be made by gay poeple?  and if it was, is it then ok to make fun of said homersexual stereotypes?  by extension if a bunch of breeders made a game about fag stereoptypes, would it still be ok?


huh huh "shoved up in our faces"

[rodekill]

I would question the '6% of the population' thing, but there's no real way to know. Where do these numbers come from anyways? Surveys? Yeah, because people who are in the closet are really going to come out just so we can all get a more accurate picture.
"You know, I've been agonizing over when I should tell my friends and family about this, but now that this survey thing has come up, well, looks like here's my chance!"
Anyways.
Czar -> Ok, that's cool. I thought you were mocking the idea.

[Raggit]

I should have learned by now that stating any opinions in this community concering anything as touchy as homosexuality always leads to a fight, or argument.


Actually, for that matter saying ANYTHING that the rest of the crowd doesn't agree with leads to a fight.  It's like talking to a sound activated bomb.  

[DGMacphee]

Raggit: That's because this community tries to promote accaptance for all walks of life, whether black, white, grean, yellow, gay, straight, bi, or zoophile (if that's your thing).

And merely stating your bonehead opinion without any degree of real reasoning (unless you count 'gay people should shut up', which I don't), just shows what a dick you are.

Now shut up or else I'll get the rednecks from Deliverence to take care of your purty mouth.



As for Gay TV shows:
I'm sure a bunch of whitebread suckers like us were having the same conversation in the 60s when black TV shows became all the rage.

Now it's practically manditory to have a black stereoytype on the show going "HEEEEY SISTAS! YOU IS ALL THAT AND A BAG OF CHIPS! WORD!"

BTW, if Friends is set in New York, how come you hardly see any black people?

New York my arse!

Ah who cares -- Will and Grace still makes me laugh.

Hehehehe, that Jack is so crazy!

[MrColossal]

ok, fair enough, what about all the heterosexuals that are shoved in your face, raggit?

Married by America, hetero

Bachelor, hetero

Blind Date, hetero

Elimindate, hetero

Who Wants to Marry My Dad, hetero

Newlywed Game, hetero

Bachelorette, hetero

stop me when you see a pattern. I'm trying not to yell at you, i'm trying to get you to think before you form an opinion. now list all the gay shows that are getting shoved in your face.

[DGMacphee]

Eric, what are you talking about???

The Bachelor is gay!

Everyone knows that!

The 20 women thing is a cover.
