Default The stupidity of some people...

All right, so about 9 months ago I made a comment on a yuotube video concerning Sonic the Hedgehog and couples that appear in fanfiction. Here's what I said.

"I'm cool with gay couples.. I mean, I'm gay myself, but sometimes the fans make them so OUT OF CHARACTER.. I've read a very good Shadow/Amy fanfic too. I'm kinda partial to Sonic/Knuckles or Shadow/Knuckles, or even Knuckles/Tails,or Sonic/Tails if they bump Tails's age up quite a bit."

Well, 9 months LATER (20 hours ago) I get a reply from a certain Madisonthehedgehog91. Here's what she said.

"WTF??ur GAY!"

This is a sixteen year old, and she responds in such an immature way. Wow. I would have been cool with something like "I'm not too much of a fan of yaoi couples" or something like that, but THIS?? Coming from a SIXTEEN YEAR OLD GIRL? Wow.

Well, first of all, she doesn't know what she's talking about. She obviously wouldn't respond that way if she's ever been around a gay guy. And really, it's just some chick on Youtube, I wouldn't really be offended by it.

It takes a brave person to complain about the response he got about his views on homosexuality in fanfiction. And I commend you for sharing.

And as to your main comments, you're right. I did some work on a fanfic website awhile ago, and I expressed some confusion over one piece that had two characters - who were clearly straight in the show - as a gay couple. I was told I needed to stop being so homophobic. OK, then.

And this, of course, is a HUGE "if".

I've read some very good ones. I've written some too.

Anyway, notice how all the homophobic comments are poorly spelt. Here's another comment on the same video.

" GOOD COUPLS ALL OF THE NORMAL COUPLS
BAD COUPLS ANY YAOI/GAY COUPLS PS IF U LIKE SONADOW OR ANY YAOI COUPLE UR GAY AND DONT SAY UR NOT CUZ U ARE LOL 0_0 lol"

Folks, ignorance is NOT bliss.

It's true though.

This person is probably unintelligent in other areas too. Seriously.

Am I the only one who is confused? Is that trying to be homophobic or just a bad attempt at writing in the English language?

Someone who forgot that they already put lol or just thinks lol is funny so they have to 'lol' at it again.


That's the most I've ever said lol in my life...how odd.

o.O I couldn't read that sentence, like. I physically couldn't because it pained me too much.
I'm such a grammar whore.
