Because in the context of this thread, and what Shaw was saying, he was talking about a romantic partner. And I assumed it was a female because that is the more likely thing. When I’m shown to be wrong, I’m not surprised nor do I care.
Are thoughts a crime now?
Ah alright that makes this a little clearer now. It’s just a lotta the time it’s non lgbt reeing about tokens whenever a pinch of gay shows up.
I listen more if the discussion is from lgbt since we kinda have more weight to it.
I like it when games and stories just treat gay people like straight people. Sure stereotypes do have a smidge of truth to them. But I like the way Blizz handled this. They have banter in their quest together. A lot of folks picked up on that and enjoyed the chemistry.
Also the writer for flynn said he was always bi from the start. ( Seriously its like how Rogues in DnD are a rarity if they’re straight lol. Flirty rogue is best rogue. ) Before we ever knew Flynn existed. Having Shaw be interested is actually really healthy representation because it helps show that even folks like Shaw can be gay.
No one actually said this so please keep the conversation on track.
Head cannon is head cannon.
Yes, yes it did. Of course if there was a audio version of the book, it might shed some light as to how it was meant to come across…just saying.
Well the odds are…VERY HIGHLY IN FAVOR of one, and not the other.
Probably.
Did you read the post? Here’s a quote from the post if you didn’t.
Flynn’s writer said he was always bisexual so you’re correct
That’s not a scenario problem, that’s a you problem. Time to unlearn those heter0-normative assumptions and just let people be people.
Never said that, nice flex.
Who cares about odds? Making assumptions about other people is why stereotypes exist. Why all the ‘isms’ in the world exist.
I personally don’t think I could find myself in an intimate relationship out of the blue.
Please stop ignoring what I say in favour of projecting what you think I say. I’ve listed multiple characters whose sexuality isn’t confirmed who I think are gay because of the context clues. In what world do you think I’m suggesting I don’t think gay people don’t exist unless they announce themselves?
No, it doesn’t. The majority of people on the planet are straight - but the majority of racial representation varies by location.
I don’t understand you trying to push your narrative that the majority sexuality is irrelevant.
Just because the odds are “in favor” as you say, doesn’t justify making a false assumption. When you make a false assumptions its your chance to ask yourself why you made it, not hold others responsible for not living up to your assumptions.
They have already been shown that they hung out around each other. How exactly do you think relationships start? They are aware of who the other person is and can then contact each other.
Also thinking about numbers this much with people is quite dehumanizing.
That’s very clearly not what I said. What I said is that you assume they are straight, unless they blatantly announce that they are not.
I also never stated or implied this. Again, keep the conversation on track.
I did, just saying that I don’t really feel that this whole thing makes their relationship “token”.
It’s a development that happens in the book.
This is, almost word for word, exactly what I was taught. You’re my new favourite Void Elf.
I hope you’re aware just how deeply dripping in irony this is coming from you.
No. I’m not going to blatantly ignore reality in favour of what other people want me to think - because that’s inappropriate to suggest. Thought policing is immoral, just as immoral as trying to force your ideals - like how some people try to persecute LGBT individuals.
But you are suggesting I need to change the way I think when it does little to no harm to anyone. Especially given when faced with new information, I already change the way I think in that situation.
I do? That’s my entire point. I like logically following the more likely solution. That’s… how problem solving works.
Ok this person is just straight up gaslighting now. No point in trying to educate someone like that.
The reason why I made the assumption was that the most likely scenario was he was straight - given real world probability - that’s all.
I’m assuming it goes into detail in the books, but extended contact isn’t, “out of the blue” if a relationship forms.
So anyway. Who do ya’ll think is the top / bottom?
Shaw seems the power bottom type
Why?
I do, given no other context clues. As I said repeatedly - other characters whose sexuality hasn’t been confirmed are more likely to be gay given the clues we can derive from what we see in game.
This. A thousand times this.
