Homosexuality and DDR

Reon-kun · Trick Member Joined: 14 Apr 2004

I'm gay <guy>... and Shawna is gay <girl>... but I have never heard anyone call me a DDR cigarette--neither Shawna. We go all the time--and people watch--yet no one calls us that. Well maybe it is because we don't seem gay... eh. They're just jealous because we're better than most the heteros who sit there.

Shawna is progressing well on light mode--and I'm still trying to do all the heavy songs--with stoic as my next priority.

Kind of funny--well--some guy called one of the good <straight> players gay because he looked funny playing maxx unlimited <doing those jumps> without the bar. I turned my head--looked at him funny--and said "He's not the gay one here..." and did a little kiss and he just left the arcade.

Re: Asshats.

Hate to swear, and it's not my original idea, but it works:

"Dur, that is so gay."
"So why are you watching?"
"Uhm...uh..."
"Then shut the fuck up."

Bonus points if you pick something like Love^2 Sugar immediately afterwards to further bewilder the offending asshat.

I don't see why people assume one is gay just because they like feminine stuff. The word they're looking for is "transexual."

People tend to assosciate DDR with homosexuality because sometimes two men play together. But still, it's wrong, usually players don't touch each other then playing despite the pads being next to each other.

I had a witty reply to Slowpoke, but deleted it because it would inevitably cause points.

This subject makes me infatuated and filled with fury. I know how you feel, but myself I have never been made fun of because I play DDR. Sometimes my younger brother might poke at me because I play, but look at it this way, I do not pick on him for the things that he likes or enjoys doing so why should he? Do not listen to their foolish negativity. You know it takes alot of effort and skill to do anything and many people believe that they can just jump into the game and do as good or better than you, but that is not true what-so-ever.

Turn the other cheek and offer them to play, if they presist then you know to take proper action to settle their annoyance.

haha throw rocks at them...because they are ignorant bastards. I hate people who use that term loosly... sence when does Homo, cigarette, bundle of sticks queer, mean someone you just don't like?. Homosexual, gay, and any other slang terms for it have a specific meaning and shouldent be used loosly like that.
Don't listen to them, they are either
A: Idiots with no wit to come up with any other good insult(don't see why they would hane a reason to in the first place) so they call you that or
B: insecure about their own conflicting sexuality

and advice for the people who are being called gay
just say to them

A) Pull out a knife and charge at them
B) Say "I frick your mom up the buttocks last night"
C) (say this if you actually are gay) at least I look better than your girlfreind

but me myself, Im straight.
in fact girls either beat the crap out of me cause they think i wanna feel them
or Girls think my eyes are pretty ( and 2 girls called me sexy legs and started feeling up my legs and to

)

You'd think this would be locked but oh well this thread is rather amusing.

Now I'm not a homosexual, just straight (I'm a guy btw) But I have never been called gay.. The arcade at my mall has a huge window and little tennyboppers (I'm 17 but I mean like immature younger teens and just college students that are preps) Try to yell stuff out or do the mocking of doing steps... They look ten times as stupid than you when they are trying to make fun of you... Shoot my eyes are concetrating on the screen you think I'm going to see them? Anyway I know they think it's "Gay" but they just want to impress their friends, lovers that they're better than people who play DDR or anything that doesn't fit their fancy.
Yes I'm just as outraged as the next guy but I've dealt with a lot of bull in my life and "being more mature than a stupid 19 yr old" (Just in this town not trying to flame but that's a real quote from some girl) I think I can take a civil stand and just ignore them............or......

DO SOME CRAZY poopy THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE!!!
^No.
This makes it worse.

Anyway most people up here are polite and actually come into the arcade to watch me some times..
So gay or not the generation of assholes is only to get worse with not new word other than gay... Oh I wonder what word that could be.

Here's what you really do. When you get called "gay" finish your songs and walk off, then, stand behind them very close(within 2-3 inches or so). Breathe deeply and sniff occassionally. If they don't get anxious and leave inhale through your nose loudly and scream out "OMG, this dude smells like Pine tree and continue to inhale loudly" that usually works. Unless they sniff you back.

I can answer this is in 1 word.

embarrassment.

They are embarrassed. How do I know?

Think about when you had sex education. There were always the 4-5 people laughing when the word penis, vagina, and sex occured. I used to think it was because of immaturity. But it's not. It's because of embarrassment. When you watch a video of sex ed, and a penis shows up on the screen, some guys would look away and say, "Gross, ew, AH!" While others, don't care at all. The ones saying "Ew Gross" are embarrassed about looking at it with no reaction, causing other people to think of them as gay. But I digress.

Basically, what I am saying is that they are calling you gay, because they are trying to show off thier own masculanity. Someone like that would never say, "Hey, look a that guy dance. Isn't that cool!" No. Why? Because he is embarrassed of sounding gay.

I am guessing there was more than one person around you when the people called you gay. Right?

My advice:
Ignor them.

I think the reason this hasn't been locked is because any mods who have seen this believe it's actually worthwhile discussion. I know I think it is.

Now, I, personally, am straight, but I know that it's quite possible that I look gay in my first few rounds of the day. I don't really care, because I know one thing nobody else there does - I'm not gay.

Just yesterday I watched Will and Grace. They went to an arcade and started playing DDR (I *think* the banner was green...), and Grace was totally sucking. Only a player would notice this, but they were using both pads on singles play, but whatever.

Then, after she fails (It even shows the "FAILED" screen!), Karen convinces Jack to try it...He loads up Abyss (Light, I'm sure), then starts busting out some crazy buttocks moves. Thus, gay guys are better dancers. It's just the way it is.

EDIT: Oh yeah. If they keep doing that, just kick them. I should do some research on the kick that uses the most power from your calves, but once I get that, I'll tell you how to kick them. A kick from a DDRer is like a Fatality from Mortal Kombat. Without the bloody mutilation.
