Isn't it Asexual? although I've always felt its a GAF invention, I've never seen it anywhere else.

I appreciate the discussion about biphobia and bi erasure but it's not like anyone here (recently) posted something like "wow bi people are so selfish they should just say they're gay already"... all this stemmed from a joke post which imo was a very clear and very light joke but maybe it is not my place to say considering I am not bisexual. I am surprised that some people are sensitive enough to be offended by it but w/e

I hope it turns out the best it can!
In other news, I just woke up from a nightmare that you, Biforce of Power, were in. The larger context is really hard to describe, but you and I were trapped in a creepy room and had to figure out how to escape (maybe inspired by the Zero Escape series?). One of the challenges you decided to take on was to 100% Link's Awakening and then do something I now forget/never knew.
It was a really ridiculous and stupid dream that still managed to be scary enough that I woke up and am now paranoid when walking from my bedroom to the bathroom in my apartment. Such is life.
It's not about the singular instance, it's the persistence of it. If there was a thread which you frequented because you enjoy the majority of the discussion within it but people kept "light-heartedly" equating homosexuality with paedophilia (or basically; *insert thing you would get annoyed/upset over of choice*), wouldn't you prefer them to not do that?
Also, don't give me that "overly sensitive" or "easily offended" spiel, people have clearly stated the reasons as to why they dislike it when people disparage bisexuality.

i don't think i would get annoyed or upset if something was an obvious joke...? but never mind. there's no point in me dragging this out more if you think i am in the wrong. i will put a disclaimer next time.
We don't joke about how trans-women aren't women in this thread, we don't joke about how gays are paedophiles in this thread and you know why? Because that would make us assholes. Bi-erasure is a very real thing, and when it comes from people who supposedly are your peers it makes it worse. Like I said ,it's not about a joke in and of itself, but what it represents.
So instead of putting a disclaimer, maybe not make an unnecessary, unfunny, overplayed joke which just makes you look like bit of a dick.
I mean this has been flung my way a few times when I used to post twinks in this thread. But I know that's not the point.

This is amazing.
Cute photo! I guess I should go there too eventually.
I want to rub my face on your stubble/beard.
Did I say that out loud?

Hey everyone, I've been lurking for a while, and I think it's time for me to wade in and introduce myself.
Your gender?: Male
Your sexual orientation?: Bisexual with a preference towards women
Where Are You From?: a bunch of towns/cities in Southern Ontario, Canada
Where Do You Live?: Toronto, Canada
How Old Are you?: 30
Favorite Type of Music?: Rock, Indie Rock / Indie Pop
Profession or Career interest?: working in IT as a Sys Admin, would prefer to be in Computer Security / Forensics, which I studied
Favorite video game(s)?: These days, it's Heroes of the Storm and Crusader Kings 2
What are your hobbies (other than gaming)?: I read, though not as much as I'd like. I used to read all things fantasy when I was younger but have shifted over to mostly sci-fi.
The only other thing I'll add is that I've been in a wonderful relationship with a fantastic woman for about 4 years now, and we've been living together for over 2 of those years. We've talked about it enough that we'll likely get married.
I look forward to a lot of great discussions with everyone here!

Other bi women are fine with it, but straight women have told me they feel twice as threatened by the possibility of losing me, as she now has to compete with men, as well as women.

Such a silly thing to feel threatened by other people's existence

I know, seems silly.
I've told all the women I've dated, and have never had a problem (although most of them were Bi as well, so that may not be the most useful cross-section).
It doesn't take much imagination for me to come up with reasons a woman might bail on a guy after finding out he's bi though. As Biforce of Power said, feeling like they have to compete with more people probably hits women who aren't that confident in relationships to begin with. I can also imagine there's a fair number who are of that ignorant belief that all bi men are just on their way to becoming or admitting that they're gay. But that's just me theorizing.
Anxiety isn't silly, and you shouldn't stoop so low to call someone suffering from anxiety silly. You have no idea what effect it could have on them.

I am an English major as well. I started out in the sciences, but I found that my strengths were in writing. Lots of people don't realize there are many jobs outside of education that an English degree can land you. Like technical writing for example, technical writers write all kinds of instructions, manuals, and other nonfiction writing. You can even work for a company to write proposals and other writing. It's not limited to education.I wanna cry so bad rn all of these classes sound extremely fucking boring and my major ia in English and I don't even know if it's a good major??? But it's the subject I always did great it in throught school but still?? any advice guys? I'm really not interested in anything but i still want to study ugh
also hi guys
Maybe look into a technical writing class if your university/college have one. My university requires it as a graduation requirement and I found it to be a very informative class as it shows the other options of English majors. I am a British lit major but I have been finding some American lit to be interesting as well. British lit has a lot of classics.
Also hi.
I might have over-exagerrated a little, I agree there, but today is not a good day, and as someone who suffers from a severe anxiety disorder, and as someone who has been called 'silly' and 'stupid' many times for having the aforementioned disorder, it struck close to home. I apologise.
Wait is that you in your avi? Cuz in this photo you look the same
I can see the double threat if you're already paranoid about losing your SO. but that fear alone will ruin the relationship anyway.
that's good to hear. all the people I know (mostly from high school) probably wouldn't understand it. they thought I moved to the city because of all the drugs. the idea of me having sex with men would freak them out so much, they wouldn't allow me to use their bathroom because of the aids...

Those are some...interesting assumptions that the people you know make. Where are you from?

Look Kitty. I know i'm a jerk about the bi thing, and i'll do my darnedest to cut it out. But its getting to a point where everything is offensive to someone. I fear we're going to backseat mod ourselves into a dull as dishwater thread where everyone is scared to post anything to disrupt our supposed safe space.

So they're AAA games?
I have no fear of that ever happening.
There will always be tasteless jokes and also the people who don't like said tasteless jokes (and who will openly criticize people that tell those jokes).
switzerland, with a dash of croatia. my mom would send me articles about aids (and highlight the word homosexual) she cut out of magazines/newspapers and send it to me around the time my parents found out. lol

Wait...noooo. You can't ruin the image in my head of Switzerland being a perfect country. It seemed so nice when I visited Geneva two years ago. What part of Switzerland are you from?
It sounds like your mom cared about you but went about showing it in an unfortunate way. Was this a long time ago/have things changed?
This website is a good resource, including the Overview and General FAQ sections. (Note: the "click here" and "learn more" links on the home page don't work, but you can get there using the navigation menu at the top)
Telltale Games has a shitty game engine.
oh, don't worry
switzerland is pretty harmless. they're very concerned about what strangers think of them, so if you visit, they're at their best behavior! if you live there and become friends with some of the locals, they stop caring and start showing their true colors.also, my mom was more concerned about what other people would say about their sick son. they even took me to a psychiatrist, who told them gay people would recruit young men into homosexuality for political reasons. it was one of the most bizarre days in my entire life! but it kinda brought us together, because my parents and I agreed, he was a total loon. but yeah, it was the late 90s and now we're on better terms. she even showed interest in my (non-existent) dating life last year.
oh yeah, when I moved out I found a porn tape in my movie collection (straight porn obviously). how cool is that? I bet none of you can say, your parents bought porn for you. :3
Final Fantasy series are overrated trash.

"Dull as dishwater" is really just another way to say this thread is a "drag" and "drag" is really just another way to say "I hate trans people" so I'm extremely offended by you right now.
The New 3DS was a terrible idea.
Rob (he is super mean)
I'm kidding.
Pixels is absolute trash. Go watch something else (Inside Out or Amy, both are good films).
