The only thing I can say to your first point is pick your battles. It's far too exhausting to get mad every time someone says something like that, especially if you don't wanna be mad or seen as aggressive all the time. I typically only act when they do and he really hasn't. It's one of the suckier parts of being part of a minority, particularly one in which it's still okay to bash in certain circles. (Racial slurs? GET HIM!!! Homophobia? FREEDOM OF SPEECH!!!)

And it really is imperative to use correct grammar when making an argument as it makes it easier to read and understand, which is key to persuading others. You shouldn't have to make the reader work to join your side, as it would impede your goal.

And as to my comment about being gay allows me to see from a certain viewpoint. While I know all this can be figured out by a straight guy, I can't help but feel that I would be just like those guys if I weren't gay at all, actually and I'm sure that is the case with many gay guys. It's a shame that that is what it takes to get some people to open their eyes to the truth.

And as for Bushi having more cute guys. I feel they already know their customer base is overwhelmingly hetero male (as are most TCG customers, for some odd reason), and I also feel they want to get more than just hetero males as their consumers, seeing some recent trends (and the fact that Aichi is gayer than lot of yaoi characters on occasion). The main issue for them is to attract these new potential customers while not driving away their current ones. They are walking a fine line here and are trying to minimize risk to their bottom line. That all make sense?

And yes, my current pic is Jaden. Many don't notice this, but with a couple of exceptions (possibly on one of those exceptions, even then), for a number of months now, my profile pics have been gay or bi anime guys. And Jaden is not one of those exceptions, though don't go shattering the illusions of those who can't handle the thought of looking up to or liking a guy who has romantic attractions to other guys or who think those kinds of guys live off in their own little world, separate from "normal people" (sometimes I wish I could do that...also, that was their term, not mine >.>), all while not realizing that gay guys have to look up to and like (platonically, of course) guys who only like girls that way, CONSTANTLY. Putting yourself in another shoes can be a good thing, people. Oh, and I forgot to mention that to these people, everyone is straight until they say or do otherwise, as if that makes any remote sense...

Am I getting through to you here?
