I'm a gay guy, and that's all fine and dandy.

But I'm beginning to loving despise the LGBT-whatever community + maybe hairs of progressivism, because it seems to be hellbent on skipping over the "G" part in favor of everyone else.

It's pure jealousy, but I keep seeing it pop up all over the place in gaming and it's giving me a complex. There's so many great portrayals of lesbians and lesbian relationships with tons of variety, from mature characters for who it's just a part of who they are to young punks who are feeling out their interests for the very first time - and there's almost nothing like that for gay guys. It's to the point that any time I see yet another lesbian relationship in a game I just get loving mad. Shadowrun: Dragonfall didn't even have any gay guys at all but was more than happy to make a main party member a lesbian, have several discussions about her ex-girlfriend, and a mission where you go and save her, among other things. Oh, and also an incidental lesbian couple in the background of another mission just to rub salt into the wound.

There's also a forums user (a heterosexual male artist) who's custom title is "Why would I draw dudes when I can draw literally anything else" and it also makes me gnash my teeth. It's supposed to be an aggressive snipe at the over representation of males in everything but it just comes off to me as a personal insult for being interested in men while simultaneously trying to come off as progressive despite putting down a sexual minority. gently caress you.

That's about it. Though I would like to know what video CJacobs and Fae talk about buying dragon dildos in.

Please stop identifying with video game characters. They are part of a puzzle to be solved, not actual people or representations of actual people.

Gay white dudes that are dating/married to other gay white dudes are the most priviledged group out of all the groups because they:

1. are white
2. are a same race couple
3. do not have a woman around to gently caress up 1 or 2

I feel your pain, gay anon, but remember it's not all Orange Is The New Black. There was that incidental gay pilot in ME3, and Sulu is gay now. Take your victories where you can find them. :shrug:

Also try not to fall into the identity-politics trap of worrying about pop-culture representation to the exclusion of everything else. I remember being really excited there was finally a Jewish video game protagonist in GTA: The Lost And Damned, but then I stopped playing it after about 15 minutes of gameplay and realized my life wasn't really tangibly improved in any way.

They still didn't have to kill him off in GTA5 though :mad:

Not a day goes by that I don't wish I was gay because simply waking up and playing video games and drinking while one of us stops to give the other a blowjob every hour or so sounds like a perfectly civilized way to spend an evening and none, none, of my girlfriends have been OK with that yet. It is I that is the more for suffering.

Please tell me you're actually going to give some of the money to your daughter though

You do realize that since the lottery drawing was while your daughter was still under 18 that your wife can sue for that portion of winnings owed her right? And she will win. Easily. Maybe if it was a scratch ticket you could pull it off. Maybe.

Unless she is super stupid she is going to have a lawyer look into anything that happens for him ever. If you're gonna do it then I say wait until it's like the last month to claim the prize and then do it. Hoot it up to everyone you know and then immediately turn it in. That will at least seem like you just now won and the ex may not look into it.

Yeah anon I'm assuming you've lawyered up, run this by your lawyer and see what he/she thinks. If there really is no way to get around paying her it's probably the best idea to just loving pay her now so you're not as owned later

I hope you realize that the only reason lesbians are the most portrayed LGBT* characters is because lesbians and female bis are much more marketable and much more acceptable to straight males

Also realize that for every gay male character portrayed in fiction, there are exactly ZERO transsexual human characters (of course you will find writers who "cheat" by making up some fuckin forest druid with the spirit of a thousand-year-old man and the body of a supple teenage white girl or some obnoxious crap)

In the Culture series of Sci Fi books, it is normal for the humans to change sexes throughout their lives and the normal thing to do is to birth one child and father one child. They're in a super advance post scarcity society with technology sufficiently advanced to allow such transformations.

Otherkin has nothing to do with gender or certain people only loving/dating certain people. Besides literally any video game featuring a non human character can be considered an otherkin game.
