And I’m 100% sure that the quote was “Brig has a stupid character design”.
Like cmon who do you expect to buy that
You can find straight people doing uncouth kinks of all types and it’s “just a phase.” Have gay people just kiss on the cheek and people go all “Stop shoving it in my face.”

That’s pretty much what a lot of the backlash boiled down to. “I’m not homophobic I just don’t like it being shoved in my face”. aka “I’m not homophobic, I just don’t like to be reminded that gay people exist and don’t think they should have the same exposure my demographic has had in media since its inception”.
It also makes me laugh the sheer lack of self awareness and awareness of the world around them it’d take for someone who is straight to complain about gay people “shoving sexuality down their throats”; no pride parade in the world has come close to touching actual conversion therapy and needing a SCOTUS decision to allow same sex marriages.

I was waiting on a handful of particular people here who’d otherwise call you on that were it the opposite, but they remain silent.
So much data on personality traits…
pfff all those have already left their replies and gave up
I agree, but this is the perfect time for them to review their beliefs and do some soul-searching 
“Eww gross, what should I care what you do in the bedroom?”
(that double standard is my biggest gripe in this whole debate)
This is a point that people who use terms like “Homophobic” know in their hearts but will never have an honest discussion over. I don’t have to approve or feel in the same way someone else does about a lifestyle choice to still accept them, but it’s fair to draw the line on it as long as it is done with respect and doesn’t go into prejudice outside the direct sphere of the “difference”. I have actually read some forums devoted to homosexuals and other non mainstream groups and their is in their own way very much a counter-bigotry among many members statements and attitudes, for instance mocking the nuclear family, when 95% of the populace is straight and fits into that, and has for all of human history because well, its how the species propagates itself. There’s an intent and attitude that has been engendered since the 90’s where it all started to take what is not common, and always treat this “uncommoness” as special while in a backhanded way try to put it above what is the norm. The kids raised with this have off course fallen for it, they didn’t know any better naturally, and have trouble understanding being “different” doesn’t make you special with special rights, it just makes you “different”, period.

Yeah everyone so far has had enough common sense to ignore the troll.
…well, almost everyone
“Homophobia is not a phobia” is a quote falsely attributed [to Morgan] [Freeman]. Although it’s entirely accurate. Homophobia is not a phobia as people who hate gays don’t fear them. In fact there are many people nowadays who don’t hate or fear gays but who still admit homosexuality is not natural but saying such gets you instantly branded as a “homophobe” because anything criticizing homosexuality (even if on a scientific basis) is instantly met with disdain from the gay and atheist community who advocate [biphobia] and misogyny.
Homophobia is not a phobia. [Cringing] at two men kissing does not mean [you’re gay], hate gays or fear gays. Finding disgust with the idea does not mean you’re gay, hate gays or fear gays. Liking the idea of two men kissing means you’re gay. If you find yourself defending homosexuality, getting offended over the word fa**ot and taking offense to jokes at the expense of gay people then you’re probably a [closet gay]

I don’t think thats the case. Similar posts were met with disagreement and questions - regardless of how obvious the bait was. Like this topic, for example. You get a lot of information from just watching interactions.
Some controversial stuff y’got there but I see what you’re aiming at, albeit a bit bold for the target audience to accept. I’m pretty straight myself, yet defend homosexuality due to freedom and fairness; honestly, if they want to be married and miserable like others, then why not…? Its a right. On the other hand, I take no offense at any jokes, considering those I know who are indeed gay say the same things. Its probably a generational and/or mental gap here. I’m guessing some people are just too soft for the current world that we live in?

Not always. Obvious bait, no bite. But I’m sure it’s some evil homosexual plot to… Idk what it is you think we do but I’m sure it’s nonsense.
But continue with the “research” schtick you have going on, it’s at least funnier than the other stuff
I 100% agree. It’s time for GAYmers to rise up to defeat Homophobia, Transphobia, acrophobia, aerophobia, arachnophobia, astraphobia, autophobia, claustrophobia, hemophobia, ophidiophobia, zoophobia, onomatophobia, alektorophobia, pogonophobia, nephophobia, cryophobia, Aichmophobia, Arithmophobia, Bibliophobia, Cyberphobia, Dendrophobia, Ephebiphobia, Gamophobia, Heliophobia, Podophobia
AND most importantly: Hydrophobia. You see any Hydrophobes saying they much prefer chugging soda to water, you make sure to check their H20 privilege.

Rest assured - I will. Some people can’t even have a discussion that isn’t going in their favor without resorting to snide remarks and insults while textually battling for their cause. I’m sure it looks familiar, as I see it everywhere since the “event”. They get pulled out of shape - but pulled back into true character when upset. You can pick out a genuine, equal-opportunity speaker from a heavily biased, dogmatic one who demands fairness while giving none.
I’ve been on a mission to understand people - why they act the way they do when given an ounce of stimuli.
But sure, masking it with humor helps as well. Communication is also part of the “schtick”. You have my thanks for participating.
