And WHY OH WHY, when I was a kid, did being a male wathing DS guaranteed that you'd be subjected to anti-gay
epitaphs?
There's a certain kind of jerk who looks for any pretext sometimes. I'm not going to pretend to understand why guys like that act that way though. Maybe they prove something to their jerk social group by finding targets to attack. I have a feeling I'm going to spend the rest of my life trying to figure it all out. With me, it was primarily not liking sports and not being good at them. I got the anti-gay epithets day in and day out for a certain long period because of that (and lack of a tough presence I guess), and I'm not gay, so, well, they couldn't even get that right.
I'm huge on Star Trek by the way, and science-fiction. Original Trek especially, then DS9.
