THIS!

Haha, you're welcome, I had a similar situation for a couple weeks ages ago, it's crazy how dependent I felt on my computer for everything haha.

I think it is. After all that what's homosexual means, that you have sex with the pleople of your sex. There are bigger things than that that were created by our culture, that is true, but being homosexual is just about having sex with the people of your own sex, or at least that is the way I see it.

Homosexuality is the attraction to the same sex, heterosexuality is attraction to the opposite sex, what people choose to do with their attractions, whether it be love or just sex, it all depends on the person, your assertion that all homosexuality means is sex is tantamount to saying, heterosexuality is just about sex, when it's not the case for either. Individuals are individuals, that is it and nothing more.

Are you gay? Because if not, then you can't possibly fathom what it's like to be gay. You can make theories, but you can never truly understand it.

Allow me to stop you right there.

I am a gay male. Every day, for seven years, I hated myself because I was EMOTIONALLY attracted to men. (Note the absence of sexual please.) I had to literally hide who I was for seven years at fear of rejection in my hick town high school. If I could turn my switch and feel the enjoyment of getting butterflies when talking to a pretty girl, I would have done that years ago.

Here I am today, still gay, still not out of the closet other than to one close friend (Who is straight, and did not remotely care, nor felt uncomfortable in any way). STILL, I would pick heterosexuality any day, but I can't.

Am I sexually attracted to men? Yes. Why am I sexually attracted to men? Because of my emotions. Being homosexual is absoultely NOT about having sex with people of your own sex. It's building a relationship, just like being a heterosexual.

Please, just try, to comprehend that we are not all sexual deviants out to fuck all the straight boys of the world into fear. I could care less about the fact that you do not want to have sex with me and I can still be your friend and respect your personal boundaries.

Now if you don't mind, please get out of this thread. You have added zero worth to any conversation going on, MK related or not. I hope you enjoyed your lesson.

t
What lesson?

Sorry to hear you have troubles with that, but i guess all of us take homosexuality in a diferent way. I told my parents and my friends i was gay when i was 15, and 5 years after there was never an issue with it.

Please, just try, to comprehend that we are not all sexual deviants out to fuck all the straight boys of the world into fear. I could care less about the fact that you do not want to have sex with me and I can still be your friend and respect your personal boundaries.

And this is compeletely out of place. I never said anything related to that.

Sorry if it bothers you, but homosexuality is a word wich is defined as:

–noun
sexual desire or behavior directed toward a person or persons of one's own sex.

And sorry but love is higly related to sex, it's not all of it, not by far, but it is related, be sure about tha. Edit: I tried to edit this to take all the old quotes out and i messed thins up. Sorry.

Why shouldn't this thread be in general discussion again?

That was partially directed to you, partially to the original poster. I didn't realize that the conversation had three people, I thought it only had two.

I apologize for the anger.

But I still disagree with you about the sex thing. If that's how you view things, I'm sorry, that sucks. You can throw dictionary terms around all day, but the reason I am gay is not sex related, it's emotions. No, not horny ones.

So, back to the question that was asked about the gaming community and homophobia, how many of you are bothered enough by the anti-gay slurs one hears on LIVE and elsewhere that you limit what you do on those services? And will it have any impact on your use of chat features while playing MK9?

It actually doesn't bother me too much. I usually assume it's used as a generic offensive remark and not a derogatory shot at sexuality. I don't like the word being used, but when you're online with someone hundreds of miles away, they'll speak how they want I guess.

It aint me bro.

This thread shouldn't be in general discussion because the discussion has primarily been about MK9 except when certain people try to derail or troll the thread.

You couldn't be more incorrect if you tried. That's ok though. You keep thinking that, and when you think of telling you're girlfriend or wife that you really love her, don't bother because, by your own words, it's only about sex. After all, "heterosexual" only means you want to have sex with those of the opposite sex, right?

thought I don't necessarily like that word myself...in the black community "nigga" is used as a term of endearment...kinda like the word "friend" or "buddy"...but I pretty you both probably knew that somewhat.

but the words negro/ni**er and nigga are two TOTALLY different things. a nigga can be ANYONE of ANY RACE. it's bascially just another word meaning ignorant.

and that's the lesson in Ebonics for today! :D

Thats very sad bro, but dont let people bring you down. Being gay is an easy target, but if it wasnt that, they would find other reasons to hate and make fun of you. You cant controll how other people treat you, just how you react to it. Your gay, go do gay stuff and have a gay time, and live like you want to live. We all only get 1 shot at this life thing. Do it the way you want, and dont be ashamed.

Oh, I know. You're a cool guy. Most of the ones who play online and say such crap are little brats who are angry at everyone and probably couldn't get laid if their lives depended on it. (Or at least that's why I tell myself when I hear a squeaky voice screaming something nasty.)

And with that said, shall we go back to discussing Mortal Kombat now?

Here's a question for you:
What are you most thrilled about the new Mortal Kombat?

Is it a character? The gameplay? The story element? A certain mode?

To me, it's both the new gameplay style which is a perfect fit for Mortal Kombat in my opinion, AND the story element! Can't wait to play through Story Mode.

Oh, and of course, Jade... but that's the highlight of all the games she's in. ;)

Mmm. People got the wrong idea out of this.

I'm not saying that gay people can't love. I'm just saying what the word means. It's just that. And that is the only thing it SHOULD mean.
I didn't say anything about love on that message, but heterosexual does mean you have sex witht he people of your sex. That is the only meaning of that word. And as with the word homosexual, they does not mean that you cant love, or that you don't, because is only a reference to sex.

And, i'm gay, so i don't have a girlfriend.

ummm...Mileena, Mileena, Mileena, Mileena....and some of that Mileena. oh and Mileena :)...I kinda like this name. I might name my daughter Mileena. hopefully she won't look liker her as well lol

@ zerosebaz Really, well who is your favorite male and female characters? the OP is keeping a tally and it's topic related

OH, you're one of THOSE gays.

Good luck to you and using that archaic clinical word. You know, archaic as in outdated and clinical as in the word was used by psychologists to label a gay man simply by saying they only want to have sex with another man (gee, that sounds like you).

ok well since my fave female is up...I would have to say my favorite male (so far) would be Johnny Cage. seeing as I've only played the demo...like the rest of us. He felt the most natural to me to use

Why not? That would be kinda cool. XD

Imma let this one go until its about MK9 again.

THATS WHAT ZERO THINKS.
