The gay allure is so powerful that it must be hidden, as anyone who comprehends True Gay will invariably want to do it and find it infinitely better than heterosexuality.

Some people apparently do actually believe some variation of that and it's baffling.

It's like they experience some kind of brain glitch when they process the complementary ideas that "sex leads to procreation" and "except gay sex not so much" and they just flip out over the specter of humanity just loving dying out overnight.

You'd think they'd be less worried about an immigration 'invasion' if they really believed depopulation is happening. Gee I wonder why...

I lived through the 90s and I still can’t believe people ever found this to be sexy to the point that they’d spend hours trying out fake nude cheats they read on the internet instead of just using that same internet to look at real boobs

Which is patently absurd because if we had the medical technology there would absolutely be people who would treat their bodies like their skyrim install and put as much tit and/or dong on them as possible.

The sticking point appears to be that they don't get to make that decision for other people.

I wonder if that's just eternally an issue that you can't solve like 'the heavier you are the more strain you put on your legs' or if we could cure that like polio if we (America) just put 700 billion dollars towards medicine instead of our military.

Yeah, every time I hear people talk about this poo poo I'm reminded of the release of GTA:San Andreas, and the actual petitions people made leading up to its release demanding Rockstar add a "white person mode".

Another hole in the "women can't pretend" angle is... literally any woman who plays games up to the present day? Video games have been so thoroughly dominated by male protagonists that you'd basically have to be claiming only men have ever played video games. Which, I realize on typing it, is something a lot of these guys actually do believe.

I wanted to say something like, imagine if there had been almost no playable straight white dudes in the entire history of gaming, how much these people would fiend over a single example, how much they'd pour onto any game that let them build such a character, and yet they have the audacity to roll their eyes when a black woman is playable because "surely black women can just suspend their disbelief and play as a white guy, it's just a game!"
...but you don't have to imagine, they do this literally any time a nonwhite or female or minority character is the lead, already, now. There's no need to imagine how desperate they'd be at 5% representation, because they're already mad about 99% representation. A single non-representative character drives them mad, they literally boycotted GTA for having a black man, and they still want to talk down to people about how they need to just suspend their disbelief.

They didn't really notice women playing games until it became a culture war thing. Or, they'll pretzel logic themselves into putting women into two groups-the based gamer girls that don't buy into any of the alphabet nonsense and a shrill loud minority granted a godlike amount of clout to make all their video game babes nothing more than a genderless blob with a blue undercut.
Important to note they still hate both groups!

I don't know that was an official "boycott" of San Andreas, per se, but you can look back and find GTA forums posts from 2005 and 2006 (the game was released in 2004) asking where all the white women CJ mods are at.

Here's just a few examples...there's of course some 2006-era "discourse" (aka slurs), etc. in here.

I definitely saw some screeching about boycotting when GTA6 was hinted (confirmed?) to have a lady as a playable character.

As a more light-hearted :lol:, I found multiple instances of people asking what the "Crip cheat code" for San Andreas is. :allears:

There was also the discourse surrounding 4, where people specifically commented on finding the Eastern European immigrant and former soldier a more 'relatable' character than CJ. Central themes of 5 included the protagonist not feeling at home in the US and dealing with family debt and old world obligations. He was white though.
