Continued from the Lack of Raves thread since it was a derail and deserves it's own:

I don't know much about Samus but taken that Eventru's character is so obviously based on Ancient Greece and pederasty was perfectly normal there, it would seem just suitable that he would have a personal in-game boy-lover. And no, I don't state that Samus is such but even if he were, it wouldn't be insulting, it would just fit for the character. Heck, this is a game where we see heads exploding and people bleeding to death all the time. Which is worse?


Those are still lines that aren't crossed, despite the unrealistic deaths/magic/etc. If IRE condoned a God of theirs to boldly flaunt their pedophiliac/ephebophiliac tendencies with little boys, there would be obvious problems with that, moral and possibly legal.

@xiel: she is likely making a reference to the LoR thread where she's targetted for having slanderous pics of herself on the 'net. Where Celina assumes, she misses the point, and since she's never inquired about who I am, has no idea that from freshman to senior year in high school I participated in the Day of Silence, plus numerous city-wide clubs to promote gay marriage and gay rights. Many of my close friends (Xiel included wub.gif ) are also gay.

As a last note, I have no problem with gay people, but I do have a problem with pedophilia and ephebophilia.

I suppose you are right with this. My apologies.

I have a problem with gay people! They are always trying to convert me!

I need to stop hanging out with gay people dammit!

You can't derail the derail.

Any idea when the Day of Silence is happening this year? :S

Two negatives equal a positive, so... are we back in raves? tongue.gif

Yeah...having Lord Eventru have a boy lover...don't even think about it. It sounds like a terrible, sick, Catholic joke there (and that would be nasty to anyone who's Catholic/Christian, cause they would feel
the repercussions maybe more than everyone else). It would be sick, and I'd have nothing to do with it.
I would think about leaving Lusternia altogether, honestly.

On the subject of Divine lovers: I would think they would only have other Divine lovers. It would be interesting if there were gay Divine Lovers (to my knowledge there is not). I don't know how many
people would like this, but it would be a good role model and teacher for people, esp. for those who
aren't tolerant (or even spiteful) to those who are gay. It would create some controversy, but Lusternia
is pretty accepting of gay couples, so I'd like to see it happen. I wouldn't want Divine to feel forced
into such a situation, (and there is such a small Divine population) so it probably wouldn't happen
anytime soon.

I think Eventru is a pimp.

Ah, so just no one active.
Shaddus2009-03-27 23:08:30
I seriously doubt Samus or whatever his name is is Eventru's lover.

And as for the Catholic thing Fania mentioned, no. It would be Greek not Roman Catholic. And in Old Greece, I suppose that was considered normal.

There are hints at a few others. tongue.gif

Someone educate me ... what is the day of silence for? Use small words.

Founded in 1996, the Day of Silence has become the largest single student-led action towards creating safer schools for all, regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression.

That's the first paragraph.
Shaddus2009-03-27 23:18:58
I'm curious, why did Eventru need Samus just to make you an avatar? Does't Maylea just forehead kiss her people to grant them their powers?

Why couldn't E just flex his oiled biceps and shoot liquid goldnessosity into your veins or something.

So ... people aren't supposed to talk on that day ....

Or have a giant golden paragraph descend upon the Basin, granting her infinite power of long-windedness and blinding golden flashes.

That's right. Sometimes you wear a pin (I still have one from last year) and carry cards with you that explain what you are doing, but in a world where everyone speaks (even when they shouldn't), a Day of Silence is pretty profound.
