dany i always thought you were white
He's white (technically speaking)... There are white Mexicans. Nationality =/= skin color (or as I like to say "melanin levels in our skin are not affected or dependent on one's nationality.").
I needed to make that joke since it doubles as a Digital Devil Saga reference.
If he isn't that means I can't flog him. :[
Could that be considered lewd?
i mean sure he's not the darkest dude on the block but i still wouldn't call him white. he's mexican. i'm not gonna speak for him but i know correcting people on your race gets old quick, especially if you take pride in it.
Goddamn Mexicans taking our lack of melanin!
I just feel like "white" has taken a more political meaning (as it has always been the case) rather than what we actually perceive as someone "being" white. It kind of reminds me during a time in history in the States in which the Irish were not considered "white." Anyone that was not White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASPS) were not considered "white." So yeah...
I'm watching some Call of Duty tournament matches and they seem fun. I remember when I watched a Smash tournament on I think it was Evo or Pax East, but damn those matches were exciting. I haven't seen anything like it. My question to those of you that play Smash, how hard is plink dashing?
Edit: Just found out that there's really no such thing as plink dashing in Smash... I was thinking of Street Fighter/Umvc3, lol. But still I remember some people saying that smash players had an easier time plink dashing because of they previously played Smash. So I guess it's all about movement, and execution. There's some Smash players that are very good at Capcom fighting games. Hmm... there's Smash Bros Brawl and Melee... Now I'm confused, lol.
The issue with race is that folks in the US and latinamericans are worlds apart, yet no one really feels that way. When you talk about race about say, Japan, people immediately jump to the "their culture is different" argument, no one does this with latinos/US arguments, even though our cultures are very different.
I feel the same happens to LGBT issues. Immigration and cultural penetration, back and forth, make this even more complicated.

What?
I found this, and it's a very hype match!! This is what makes me want to get into Smash!

i only call people by their skin color ;(
EDIT:
guy on okcupid is into fisting and gokkun (google it) and has a thing for asians.
if i'm rude enough maybe he'll go away yet i'm curious enough not to block him if he's really into this and if that's really him. the guy looks like an uglier mexican shia leboof clone.

That Tim Cook thread has some complete idiots in it.
I still can't get married to who I want to get married to, and my parents would hate me for it. Tell me again why someone influential should stay silent about their sexuality? There are MILLIONS of people who are devout Apple fans, whose opinions on sexualities could take a large turn for the better, and people don't want that to happen? Ugh.
(Although to be fair, I'm glad that just over half the people in the thread were utterly supportive of it)

To be fair we beaners are all mestizos, so we do have some Euro blood. I'd use the same approach as you if I visit the US, though, "white" seems to exclude "Mexican" over there.Gracias señor hour

Well, sorry for overestimating people. Sheesh.
The only thing that makes me more passionately angry about something like the shitty posts in the Tim Cook thread is when someone tells me to not get so angry about those things. Especially when it's my own dad, a grown-ass Latino man who can relate to the struggle of being marginalized within a community.
Fuck that.
Fuck that.

I get way too annoyed reading threads like that. I'd say most people who posted there are generally supportive, but it's the people saying things like "Don't care", "Why is this news?", "Can I be proud to be straight?" etc that my eyes are drawn to which irritates me. I always want to quote a few people and reply to them, but I don't feel like it's worth the effort since I doubt I'd change their minds.
The only way to deal with dumbasses a lot of the time is to either call them out to everyone else or out-shout them. They don't care, they're not going to be convinced or care about the consequences unless it fucks them over somehow.
It's been the same throughout history; People tend not to give any shits until it's personal.
I'd say "unapealing". He isn't ugly (okay,his hairstyle has always been bad but that can be corrected) but there's nothing remotely interesting or sexy about him. Sleeping with him would probably be none too different from picking up your average Schmoe off the street.
At the least a bad date is someone to talk about for days; a boring one is just pointless.
To mangle a saying:
"No matter how low your expectations of people are, they will always find new ways to disappoint you."

Only with a much better payoff for gold-digging

Don't worry, when I become king empathy and critical thinking will be the only subjects in school.
Gokkun as a fetish is kind of bizarre to me - the format just seems to divorce it from any actual eroticism. But I guess most fetishes seem odd in a vacuum, if someone viewed cold disembodied semen as an object of desire in itself, I guess gokkun could be appealing. Or maybe it's the humiliation angle?
Whether active or passive, members of oppressed groups furthering the oppression of others is always frustrating. Though for me it seems particularly distressing when it's between different generations of immigrants in the same general community; or certain groups of feminists against trans women.
I'll be his Delicate Lotus Flower with silky dark hair if you won't.
Also I really don't want to Google "gokkun"

This. Believe it or not, being Irish when living in Northern Ireland was an awful thing only 25-odd years ago. I'm so annoyed that my dad didn't learn anything from it.
Mhm, yup. I'm just amazed that people can be so scummy about these things.

This post (among others) really bothers me in the Tim Cook thread:
I'm sorry, but what does gay "look like"?
I understand what he means, but the way someone appears has almost no bearing on their sexuality.
Also, bragging about joking that someone is gay? How is that funny?

I'm not out to that many people either. Leaving family aside, I'm hesitant to bring it up even with friends that I'm sure wouldn't have any objection. It'd be so much easier if you just had to do it once, but it's something you have to repeat constantly, with no idea how the other will react, regardless of how long you've known each other or how close you were initially. And as long as "coming out" exists as a social construct, those 'who cares' or 'everyone already knew' posts that you get when famous people are unmasked as being queer lizard people will always be so fucking infuriating.

Yeah, that post really bugged me as well.
Seriously, I feel the same way. Some people act like coming out isn't a big deal (usually the same people who say "Who cares?", "Keep it to yourself", etc), but it definitely *is* a big deal. I'm terrified of how my family will react due to the area they live in (and have lived in all their lives). They are extremely religious and live in the bible belt of the South (US). I already know their opinions on gay people based on some of the extremely homophobic stuff they have said in the past. And then to hear someone say it's "not a big deal"... yeah fuck that.
I'm on board if I get to be judge, jury and executioner of the criminal court.
Not much we can do but point to it as a reason to press on.
It's funny if you're the kind of cretin that thinks of being different as a source of shame.
Well you should do that anyway.
Yeah, I mean sure they are supportive but they're going about it the wrong way.

Hmmm... interesting.
Wow... I haven't been following the news lately. I think it's good for someone like Tim Cook to come out, especially in the business world where the atmosphere is sometimes ultra-conservative. With that said.... my dad's favorite electronics company is Apple! He's somewhat homophobic, so this is going to be good.

So I've been meaning to write in this thread for ages, hi peeps!
Seeing as I'm not a fan of Pokemon as, what feels like, 90% of LGBTIQGAF, I probably won't post a lot in this thread. Hell I might not post a lot on GAF especially since I'm about to lose my temper in the Tim Cook thread.
Oh but before I go/get banned. Please enjoy this gif from a Swedish commercial:

I wonder if I could meet attractive men working at Sports Authority.
...Oh who am I kidding they'd never look at me twice.
Gay public knowledge is not necessarily the same as general public knowledge, hard as it can be to believe at times.
My mother didn't understand what the main LGBT acronym meant until about a year ago (and she was in her adolescence over 10 years after Stonewall)
And of course Gay press covers much different things than the general press does, as we find and focus on specialized things that slip by news agencies that have to cover as broad a range of things as possible.
We only really talk about it near the launch of a new game, or when someone feels like bringing up starters for trifling reasons (you two know who you are. :V)
Welcome, and try not to get banned, I'm sure you'll get along fine with the half of GAF that aren't jackasses.

No problem, you can talk about eveything you want here (I'm sure you know since you lurked before, lol). I just wanted to highlight the fact that you weren't thinking less about yourself when you were overweight. I think everyone have the rights to be attracted to certain kind of bodies or not but a certain kind of body doesn't make someone automatically ugly, it can make him unattractive to some but not ugly imo. Anyway, one thing that I forget to write is that I saw many people with a similar problem that you had but kinda reversed, I've seen guys that likes overweight guys but that they can't find many possibilities because overweight guys are attracted only to other overweight guys. These was in the Korean community, doesn't seem to be the case in general community if specific dating sites statistics are to be believed.i know, in fact i don't talk about weight because i don't think it really matters so much, but they were discussing that so i wanted to share
Hopefully for me these statistics are true, lol
I'm late, but congrats daripad!
Here are the possibilities:1.He likes your personality and don't care about other things
2.He likes guys with your body type
3.He likes your face and don't care about other things
4.He is body curious/bodytype curious
Ok, this was invented by me, lol
Not sure how anyone went straight from "he put his head on my shoulder" to "he wants your D".
you guys always go down there, unless this is a new way to say that someone likes you, lol

Hey there.
I'm not really a Pokemon person either. You should still post here if you feel like it. What all games do you enjoy? Or what are you looking forward to?I think my avatar has a subconscious effect on how I post.
I've looked like a cynical putz for the past 3 pages.
Hear hear.
I like chubs but don't have much of a desire to look the part.

Hey there.
I play pretty much anything that isn't an FPS, currently playing Guccamelee and finding it to be... overhyped. As to what I'm looking forward to: in the short term: LPB3, early 2015: The Witcher 3, late 2015: Uncharted 4 and finally whenever the hell it releases: whatever thatgamecompany does next.
