The Character Romance thread (Official)

I think people are taking a wrong turn over one specifc misunderstanding and it's having further implications than I realized. So in the interests of peace, let's clear things up: the post I removed earlier which prompted the in-thread warning was not over calling a poster homophobic. I'm pretty sure other people called homophobia and I didn't even bat an eye because the post in question was in rather bad taste, even if not specifically against the rules. Furthermore I don't personally believe calling someone homophobic is an instant ban-worthy attack. Different contexts may yield different results of course, but in a vacuum, it's not automatically bad (the calling homophobia, not actually being homophobic)

I removed the post I did because the owner of said post told the other user to fuck off. That is a personal attack any way you slice it and against the rules, no matter how righteous one may feel at the time. We've intervened in cases like that everywhere from General to MP to Off-Topic- even in the Politics thread. Again, context rules all- buddies bantering between themselves is one thing, this was something else.

And while I'm on the subject, I can personally say I approve of how everyone handled the inciting post, save the case above. Some of you called it out as trolling/bait, some of you tore the flimsy argument apart, some of you just ignored it. I don't think I could've added anything of significance there, as a mod or as a user.

You realize he took arguments out of context to make himself look like a victim being bullied by the gays?

ok well then I have a question for you


Back on BSN Prime, I was told my opinion on romances was invalid because I am straight, is that a legitimate viewpoint?  Should the person who said that have been reprimanded?

No I trusted him and believed him. That was my own fault.

Heterophobic is a lol phrase, there is no such thing and to compare it to actual homophobia which is a real fuckin' thing, many that I'm sure alot of the LGBT community here has endured/experienced in their daily lives is goddamn infuriating to see it so casually being spun here. A few salty gays on a gaming message board, can't handle what a few salty gays post here. Lol, and people call us over sensitive snowflakes. 

Your opinions are invalid for a whole host of other reasons tbh

That was post actually led to you becoming rather infamous in bioware LGBT community even off this forum. So I'd stress that you should think before you make angry posts and be sure you don't say anything you'll regret. 

Also Massbass purposefully played the victim to incite drama. Next.

Particularly for having shit tier taste. SMH.

I had no idea and I was very trusting of everyone in the Jaal thread. That one post held against me over that? No one told me anything about what really happened.
