Green Room - Week 8 - Day 2

Is fanfic just laziness? People who pick up other people’s toys because they don’t want to bother creating their own?

Why can’t Spider-man be gay? Just take a standard white heterosexual character and change them into something more "diverse". Because people are people.

Bullying makes people stronger, and the people destroyed by it weren’t going to amount to anything regardless.

Asexuals don’t exist. Much like Atheists and Yetis.

Why is your Mom so ugly? Why is your Dad so ugly? Why don’t your ugly parents love you?


COME ON PEOPLE, GIVE ME SOMETHING HERE! ;)

(some of these may be based on conversations I saw elsewhere yesterday)

Is there a way to *not* ogle "Slave Leia"? ;)

People need to remember that she killed Jabba while wearing that bikini. That might make them think twice!

That is a very good point.

I'd like to say that I've never ogled someone at a con. I'd be lying, but I'd like to think that my younger self was more "appreciating" rather outright staring at some "hot chick". I'm pretty sure that I was staring though in fairness, it was usually "trying not to be caught staring"!

I don't think that I would have had to courage to even talk to any of them, much less the idiocy and lack of anything approaching social skills to actually harrass someone.

I suspect I've ogled/stared before, too. Definitely given appreciative looks. I can't imagine what makes people think it's okay to actually harass! Ugh. I suspect they're the same people who harass online, and who feel free to behave however they want because they're in "their" environment. Everyone and everything there belongs to them. Women can be guilty of it, too - there's way too much inappropriate behavior towards guests, in particular.

Why can't everyone just accept that other people are still actual human beings with rights to their own bodies?
