"... dug your own grave"

I think of it as excavating my personal swimming pool. It's muddy right now. Once I add water and a diving board, it'll be the perfect place to take a dip and escape your torrent of negativity

"A honeymoon trip to Pluto"

The ideal destination for a romantic getaway. Who wouldn't want to spend their honeymoon on a dwarf planet with an average temperature of -380 degrees Fahrenheit? You can use your multiple accounts to book the trip, one for the flight, one for the hotel

Speaking of dimwits, have you considered applying for Mensa? They’d love to study your remarkable capacity for ignorance

The "masterstroke" you claim to have orchestrated is a display of pseudo-intellectual posturing, devoid of substance and rich in self-aggrandizing rhetoric

Your preoccupation with upvotes and the affirmation of others betrays an insecurity that prompts you to belittle others and bolster your standing. It speaks to a lack of faith in the merits of your own arguments and calls into question your self-proclaimed intellectual superiority

OP should leave the thinking to those who have more than sea sponges for brains

Homophobes suspend their disbelief for all kinds of unrealistic stories or creatures. In fiction where a ring can turn you invisible, a wand can make you fly, a bite from a radioactive spider can give you superpowers, and people can wake up looking like they've been styled by a professional hair and makeup team on a Monday morning, more gay characters are what break the illusion for you? Talk about a lack of imagination

An upvote in two minutes. The art you've mastered is the art of self-promotion. You're a master of puppet accounts

"... your acknowledgment of my unmatched wit"

The braggadocio of the self-anointed intellectual elite! Pray tell, what paltry assemblage of polychromatic hues hath so beguiled thee that thou art incapable of recognizing the true wit and erudition veritably staring thee in the visage?

Dear blue-eyed black dragon, I appreciate your (failed) attempt to join the Rainbow cult

I'm afraid you don't meet the membership criteria. Our cult is strictly for creatures with a diverse range of colors. Being only black and blue doesn't cut it

Try a rainbow-colored wig next time

You have a low bar for victory

Your "factual statement" is a pile of nonsense

There's no single survey or census that counts the number of openly gay people worldwide. The "1-5%" statistic is a lie shakier than a Jenga tower

"Gay people are replacing straight characters"

Gay people are iconic real-life secret agents, infiltrating "straight" characters' lives and taking their rightful place in the spotlight. It's a glistening rebellion!

"I bet anyone who doesn't watch black shows or listen to music by black people must be racist by your standards"

Dismissing stories that don't align with your own is something worth reflecting on. It's less of a preference and more of an intolerance/lack of empathy

Expand your horizons beyond the heteronormativity of the early 90s. The rainbow won't bite

"Homosexuals make up 3% of the world"

3% of the population is 240,000,000. We need to start casting all fictional characters as gay to reach the quota. Brace yourselves for the gayest crossover event in history!

"Why do they have to be in EVERTHING nowadays"

Openly gay people make up 3+% of the world, and they are 100% fabulous. Of course they should be in everything

"I don't have any interest in them"

Apathy towards a group of people means, "I don't care to learn about their experiences or acknowledge their existence." The erasure is a form of homophobia

I did some digging, and it's true: https://www.gq-magazine.co.uk/culture/article/daniel-craig-queer-william-burroughs-movie-adaption-2022

"As if Craig's Queer turn was in question, his casting — alongside that of a few other Hollywood thesps, plus his in-movie muse — was absolutely, 100 per cent confirmed in a Variety piece on 21 April"

The suave and dashing James Bond is set to play a gay role in a new movie directed by Luca Guadagnino, the man behind the critically acclaimed "Call Me By Your Name"

Mr. Bond is shaking up the silver screen. Consider my martini stirred AND shook!

Alrighty, let's go nuclear! Ban all the things! Social media, movies, dramas, pictures, videos. We will be the ultimate anti-stalking champions, living in our serene, sterile utopia. Sounds like a blast!

Exactly! Let's ban everything that annoys us, paparazzi included. Who needs paparazzi when we've got social media? Celebrities would post their filtered, fake lives, and I would blissfully ignore them

You're not mentally ill. Don't let someone's narrow-minded label get you down

Dang, you dropped the mic with that burn 👏

It's good to know that someone cares enough about my existence to wish for its speedy demise! I'm not invisible, yay!

Adaptations generally preserve "straight" themes, and alter or remove gay themes. This imbalance or disproportionate censorship of gay original works isn't a coincidence. This is a symptom of a homophobic society

"... and that's OKAY"

You might want to check your homophobia-meter. It's off the charts

"... remakes and adaptations are supposed to change some things"

Great, let's turn every "straight" story into a passionate gay story and watch the world burn

Appreciating hard work is noble. Appreciating good work is nobler. If someone spends hours creating a mess, we are not obliged to be grateful or call it art

The BL community didn't rot our brains. It gave us a sweet tooth for good work and well-crafted stories. Homophobic censorship is the cavities that ruin the fun

Taking out the "gay" from a gay story is the literary equivalent of drinking decaf coffee. Bland, just bland

You know what else is good for celebrities' careers? Talent and hard work. Paparazzi provide fodder for tabloid magazines and gossip websites. They aren't essential to the functioning of the entertainment industry

"Paparazzi keep celebrity stalkers in check"

And mosquitoes keep bug spray companies in business. Doesn't mean we should celebrate their existence

Young people don't need to know every aspect of a celebrity's life to be inspired. They can learn from interviews and public appearances

The legal system can address criminal behavior. A ban on paparazzi wouldn't limit the flow of relevant information. It would remove the invasive practices used to obtain private information
