Christ I hope not, I'm perfectly fine with being an individual member of humanity than a cog of the Borg or part of an indistinguishable mass of brown.Amaethon said:
Also, I'd like to add that everybody on this damn planet that can either utter a phrase or think about one in their mind in any of the multitude of languages available to us is a human, so that's a moot point as well really. No, the fact that Tribe A hates Tribe B for their sexual practices, or that emotions such as hatred, prejudice, jealousy, or such exist doesn't mean we aren't the same damn race. Quite the contrary, it makes us more humane.
So. Shall we begin?
I guarantee a similar thread to this would have happened back in 1979 if they had the internet when Billy Dee Williams was announced as the first coloured actor to be a lead role in 'The Empire Strikes Back'. Lots of people cared, lots didn't. It's all...part of the plan.

You are already accepted, if not outright worshipped, by mainstream society and this thread is living proof.Amaethon said:

If it helps, I laugh at everybody the same and call them dumb monkeys regardless of race, creed, or sexuality if they do or say something stupid.Amaethon said:
Don't expect me to ever accept gypsies or Russians, the same way a communist will never accept freedom of speech or democracy, the same way a thirteen year old atheist will never accept religion or responsibility, the same way a nationalist will never accept the wrongs of his country, and the same way a social justice warrior will never accept his hypocrisy. We are all humans, but that will not change the fact that we are still animals with a pack mentality that will never be taken out of our psyche. Homosexual and transsexual rights are well respected in the western world, a kid getting bullied in school is not an infringement on rights or a great tragedy of human rights that requires activists in my opinion.
If not for his sexuality or that of his parents, he would get bullied for something else, such as being fat, wearing glasses, having hair a certain way, talking in a certain way, etcetera. Because children are twats, simple as that really.

Letting y'all know that my eyes are on this topic, and I suggest that if you wish to debate gender rights, sexual preferences, and so forth, then take it somewhere else.
Let's not involve real-life politics in a thread about a fictional character being confirmed for being LGBT. This is a site about Star Wars role-playing. Treat it as such.

I think this topic may have run its course. The announcement has been made, the joy was shared, the hecklers started in, and now the arguments are threatening to rear their heads. This will become a debate within the next page, I've no doubt. It might be a good idea to just close it before it starts.
So. Shall we begin?

... Yeah, it's about that time. Don't want this turning into another "Is SW Racist" or "Sexy T. Rex" threads. People have celebrated, they've (a couple) times explained why they're celebrating, and now the rest of the usual stuff is squeezing itself in.Fabula Cavataio said:
This should, unfortunately, probably be closed now. Otherwise I have a bad feeling it's gonna get pretty ugly, pretty fast...

That is an appropriate use of that image. Though you probably could have found a higher-resolution version with a simple google search.
This one is a bit better: http://i.imgur.com/yFk2ksd.jpg
As is this: http://k42.kn3.net/taringa/4/5/9/1/3/0/1/_mei_/166.jpg?4854
Okay, so that second one isn't the same, but I found it amusing. 3/10 would use again.

Locked since y'all can't play nice. Or stick to subject.
