: another person hinted that i was gay. and to this all i have to say is that i know who i am and i dont give a crap what anyone thinks. espicially a bunch of losers who worship Kevin Smith.
I guess that would be me I guess. All I was trying to point out is that your page is poorly thought out homophobic whining.
Oh, and I wasn't actually insiuating that you are gay. My subject line, "You are so gay"? That is what is called IRONY. LAMPOONING. A JOKE. It was an attempt to take the piss out of you and your attitudes - I saw your post, I didn't like it so I called you gay. That is what you do and other people don't like it. It would seem you don't either. Do we get it now?
You come across as immature so I guess it's not your fault that you don't realise that homophobic attitudes, particularly your brand of mindless homphobia, come across as both offensive and defensive these days. Offensive because it's plain not nice. Defensive because there are many, many examples of people that display attitudes like yours because they have doubts about their own sexuality and feel that to take an opposing viewpoint will better hide those doubts. Of course, this is not true of all homophobes. Some are simply stupid.
Kevin Smith explores these themes in all his films, and if you like his films (three of them at least) I guess you've been exposed to the concepts. But I think that maybe you don't understand them.
I wasn't attempting to defend Kevin's work - the movies stand up for themselves just fine on their own. I was simply pointing out that you clearly don't understand what you're talking about.
