Accident

quote:

This troper has a very odd subversion. He's only been Distracted By The Sexy three times in his 17 years of what could theoretically be called life, and in each time, he stared, and sorta slammed headfirst into a different... ahem... well endowed personage of the other gender. BY ACCIDENT HAH HAH I AM NOT A PERVERT LOLZ.

Anime

quote:

This makes being a bisexual a bit of a strain on the neck, frankly. Anime conventions... pretty boys in dresses and hot girls in suits. Woof!
This (female) troper was talking with her two best (female) friends while walking down a hallway at the local anime convention. About 30 seconds later, this troper realized that said friends had mysteriously vanished. Reason? As they later put it... "Did you see that guy's abs?!" As well, at the same convention, this troper walked into a small metal café table due to an absolutely gorgeous Fran cosplayer.


Boy

quote:

This troper's younger brother (who is 16), to a certain degree. He has Asperger's Syndrome and is rather awkward (though recent dietary restrictions have helped him on his way to recovery), but he has incredibly romantic ideas about love; think of a Real Life version of Christian from Moulin Rouge. He'll get a crush on a girl and he'll hang around her and try to befriend her, which often results in just friendship, though some may not be so welcoming (but that's rare). However, when it came to his first "love," Erica, whom he was infatuated with from the first grade until eighth grade, he would publicly announce his affection, including one time in the third grade when he got down on his knee in front of her and vowed his love for her. Now it's somewhat subverted, since he's a sophomore boy that a freshman girl evidently has a crush on (how does he know she likes him? He asked her).

Priest

quote:

This troper's most... er, memorable experience on the road involved a Catholic priest driving at breakneck speed down a twisty mountain road, barrelling down narrow one-way streets, pretending that the brakes were busted right before a cliff, and other shenanigans. All this in a minivan so overcrowded that this troper was squeezed between someone's knees and the seat in front of them. Luckily enough, said priest was actually good enough to pull this off without killing anyone or damaging anything.
Considering who was driving, it may not have been a question of skill so much as divine protection.

I can't loving stand people who use code words to describe another race. And they will always have a smirk on their face when they say it too, especially when in public. So you are racist enough to talk poo poo about them, but not brave enough to do it where they can hear you.

Yes and has been for years, I don't know if this and the red text mean you're a gimmick but on the off chance someone else doesn't know, then yeah, that's been one of many code words that have existed for a while.

When I read it I just imagined a random white hobo. South Park even made a joke about zombies and hobos. The fact that the guy didn't have the exaggerated dialect also made me think he wasn't some racist fantasy.
I have literally never heard of zombies uses in this manner.

Around here zombie is used to refer to junkies of any race, since they're the closest thing to a real life zombie.

I guess I just don't understand your flipflop now - this dude's post was racially coded gun nut insanity. People familiar with watching that type of crazy person commented on the language to explain it to people who weren't aware of it.

You and non serial or whatever his name is proceeded to leap in here to defend this dude.

Now you're acting like everyone knows that gun nuts are racist and have code words they use to be publicly racist, just like in that post.

Good job finally catching up to the rest of the class, I guess.

From what I've heard of them, they just might have. I wonder how much money they've made off the site and whether that overshadows the rest.

I didn't defend this guy, I said that you, or whatever poster it was, was grasping at straws trying to come up with some racism to get angry about.
Honestly, it's more concerning for me that any stories about criminal hobos make you think of black people. I'm sure they appreciate your desire to carry the white man's burden.
