Jesus! Says he likes the guy, then asks a general question based on stereotypes. He didnt show any prejudice agaisnt him for being gay.

 

Thanks Josh, apparently i'm against gay people or bi-sexual people now for just asking a question.

[Pete]

Yea, that's exactly what was said. :rolleyes:

[Patrick Bateman]

Yea, that's exactly what was said. :rolleyes:

 

A similar leap in logic to the original reply to him

Ya hinted at it brother ;) No big deal.

[Pete]

Not even close.

 

Saying "with all the fashion shit, would anybody be surprised" if he were gay is a stereotype. You got called on it, you admitted it, and that was it. No one called him a homophobe.

 

Where's the leap in logic?

 

Don't know how long you've been here "brother", but I don't hint. If I had evidence, and wanted to call you a homophobe, I'd just call you one. ;)

[Patrick Bateman]

I've never seen anyone accuse an other person of stereotyping without there being inferences behind it

Remember this statement when atheists say "I've never seen God".

If we look at my profile, looks like I been here since June of 2011 so that makes it 26 months ;)

 

Hey it's fine, I stereotyped him for liking fashion as much as he does and being a guy.

[Pete]

That's fine. Doesn't make you a homophobe and no one said you were.

 

Just doesn't make sense to me to put people in buckets that way, but to each his own.

Nah I get what you're saying. I'm sure more people on here were thinking it, I just was the one that came out and said it.

A definite possibility.

Stereotyping is not necessarily bad. The question raised was not derogatory towards homosexuals in any way. The initial response then added a negative connotation to the first statement, and that melodramatic response rendered homosexuals being fashionable as a negative stereotype, for the sake of the following discussion.

 

Essentially, Peetie acted the part of the Human Rights Advocacy with DollaDollaBillz playing the part of Dunkin Donuts.

Or, I called a spade a spade and we all lived happily ever after.

You sterotyped people stereotyping

[Pete]

Yea, I said "You stereotyped, you must be a stereotypist".

So did he.

 

Except you were overly dramatic about it when no one was even playing cards.

 

I am a strong believer that once we stop overreacting and drawing attention to stereotypical claims, they will stop being labels. This was an extremely small, innocent, and non-discriminatory statement, and should have been left as such.

If you call that "overly dramatic", then you're the one overreacting.

Probably the most likely scenerio. Somebody had to say it. Well not had to, but you catch my drift.

Maybe just the way I said it came it wrong.

gasp

 

THAT'S RACIST!
