This was tagged appropriately. You read it anyway. To me this says you read just to get offended. As for your little screed, may I refer you to the pilot episode of the West Wing. President Bartlet said it much better than I can.
"Children, I don't care how old they are" is a heck of a way to say "adults, who were children at one point in their lives."
Anyway, love is love, we're here we're queer get used to it, if God hates gay people then why are we so cute? Any more anti-gay comments will be cheerfully deleted without response.
Erin. If you are reading this then I apologize for commenting the way I did. I was just disgusted at the idea of 2 characters who normally are supposed to be young girls (at least to me) playing with a sex toy I also apologize for spamming those messages on DA. You don't even know me. I am a 17 year old autistic boy so if I reacted a little immaturely than I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you. I love the gay people I know a gay married couple have so for a good many years now. They love me and I love them. It's just what they do is what offends me do you understand. I am NOT Homophobic.
Thank you for the apology. Please don't spam anyone else in the future.
Look, one of the fun things about fanfiction and fanart is that we can explore different ideas about characters. We can write "what if they didn't meet in the same way as they did in the books?" or "what if they were all vampires?" or "what might happen in the future, long after the books are over?"
So if you find some fic or art that really goes against the way you see the characters (and that includes my art, which didn't have any sex toys, it was just G-rated young women being in love), you have to be able to think, "maybe this person is just imagining a different version of the characters from the one I like. That's not wrong or bad, it's just not for me, so I'll go look at something else instead."
And saying things like "these gay people are wonderful and I love them, but I'm offended by what they do" IS homophobic. If you think something is good and wholesome between a man and a woman, but you suddenly get upset and judgmental if the genders are switched, for no reason other than the people being the same gender? That's the definition of homophobia.
I don't know the gay married couple in your life, but I bet there's a good chance their view is "he's a good, bright kid, and his heart's in the right place, so eventually he'll figure out that there's nothing offensive about our relationship or our love. Because we care about him, we can be friendly and be patient until he gets there."
Thank you so much for accepting the apology anyways. I'm not gay at all I'm straight so I find no man sexy. The only thing I find sexy is women. Even as a young boy I loved girls. By the way I'm currently working on an Oz story involving a Vampire named Sir. Damien you may like it although it has some religious themes in it. And Dorothy and Ozma aren't an item. Instead Dorothy is with Ojo of all characters. Thoughts?
Listen, I already figured you were straight based on your comments, you didn't need to say so...and "re-stating how straight you are in 5 different ways in a row" actually makes it less convincing. (People don't usually get that insistent unless they're secretly some type of LGBTQ, and are nervous about being found out.) You only need to say it once -- and even then, only if somebody asks.
Your fic idea sounds not wrong or bad, it's just not for me, and I'll look at something else instead!
