| I've never seen any purpose for genders. They don't reflect anything real, since they take "this sex is likely to do this" and turn it into a set of rules, making "likely" into "has to". And it doesn't make any sense at all. And I don't identify as either because of that. It's abitrary and doesn't f... |

| But the problem with online stuff is that there's so much of it already, and too many cooks, as they say. People tend to shut it off because anyone can get online and say any fool thing they want, so people don't take *any* of it seriously. We need magazine ads. We need tv spots, and radio. We need ... |

| Um...given that "aliens from space" and "aliens as a metaphor for strange people" are always seen as two different things unless you're watching Third Rock, what exactly do you see as the issue here? Why do you think anyone will project what one alien movie, made many years ago, onto humans sitting ... |

| 'Brave' is a classic sympathy stereotype used by non disabled people,offline it's commonly experienced from strangers by those of us with obvious impairments,as people think it's somehow 'brave' for disabled people to attempt to take part in life,and not give up. I've heard it from disabled people ... |

| How do you think that the person was NT? Perhaps nonautistic since they didn't seem to be aware of much of it, but there's still a host of other atypical things to be had. |

So uh...wear men's clothes? Most of them aren't that different at all. I do it all the time and no one notices. |

| A while ago there was a topic online about...oh heck, I don't even remember, but it led to me relaying my experiences with Asperger's. And someone told me I was very brave for talking about it. How is it brave to talk about something as basic as that? To me, it'd be like talking about my experiences... |

I stopped playing when I found a script online. I assumed that More Galactics was going to be a GOOD thing, but not when they take away the two most interesting things about Cyrus.
...I can't be the only one with an invested interest in the human characters, can I? |

I think there have been, many many of them. But because they don't SAY it, people say "oh, it's not confirmed so you have no proof and you're just reading into it". |
