Gays Like Bodies That Remind Them Of 14 Year-Old Boys

So how do they explain the near-universal Joan Crawford fixation?

[rosenewock21]

Well, obviously sandman it's because she's a diva and diva transcends all.

Obviously you're not looking close enough.  She looks like a 14-year-old boy who's wearing his sister's bra stuffed with socks!

</insane troll logic>

And is wearing silicone hip pads. Mustn't forget that.

/more insane troll logic.

I'm sorry, but that....that is 120% woman right there. Those thighs could crack coconuts.

I happen to know of a few gay fashion designer and none of their clothes are made so that you look like a 14 year old boy.

[Eniliad]

lighthorseman be trolling.

Anyway, the pair the OP quoted appear to be such misguided conspiracy theorists that it's more cute to me than it is offensive. Believe me, normally homophobia is a huge peeve of mine, but the idea they're stating is such tin-foil-hattery I'm surprised they saw fit to say that near someone who could record what they said, lest the gays use their psychic mind-control powers to turn them both gay... and the thought of their paranoia just makes me laugh.

However... the idea that a large percentage of homosexual men like a physique reminiscent of a 14 year old boy (be it on a 14 year old boy or a 19 year old female model) is a pretty well accepted social phenomenon (annecdotal, I know, but several of my homosexual aquaintances have made comments to that effect. )

How is anecdotal equal to "well accepted social phenomenon"? If it were the case, I can argue many heterosexual women also like 14 year old male bodies based on anecdotal ground, since I can also claim that many of my heterosexual friends have made comments to that effect.

Well I know one thing for sure: there is a great deal of concern in this community about the casting industry. Oh. Wait ...

[lighthorseman]

Still not seeing the problem... Yes, l'm saying l think many homosexuals find a boyosh physique attractive, are yo saying they don't? In an attempt to clarify, l'm not saying there's anything WRONG with finding 14 year olds attractive, but rather the knee jerk insistance that people don't because of fears it might feed a seperaye unjust stereotype. I'd go out on a limb to say thay most people, of all sexual orientatioms, have at some time found underage people sexually attractive. And that's ok.

Want proof? Generally, do fashion models tend to look more like teenagers or like older people?

[gyeonghwa]

The fashion models that I'm familiar with don't look like teens. 

(And that's overall. Most of the models for brands and designers that I'm familiar with clearly depict adult men and women.)

[lighthorseman]

How is it homophobia to acknowledge that homosexuals tend to be attracted to attractive young people ?

Still really not seeing the problem here.

Here's an idea, think l'm being unreasonable, try turning the tables... Say that many heterosexuals tend to be attracted to the body type of 14 year old girls. Watch me say "yeah, and?"

Really? I'm not really into fashion much, but thats not my impression from checkout magazine covers.

Because it comes off as an insinuation that it's inherently a homosexual thing.

If you noticed, I already addressed that (except I used heterosexual women). Saying that homosexual men have a tendency towards that type of body and that it constitutes a large percentage of the population is just as erroneous as saying that heterosexual women have a tendency towards that type of body and that it constitutes a large percentage of their population. You can't make those conclusion.

Fashion is much much more variable than stuff at the checkout isle.

Especially since that time he dropped the “some”/“many” qualifier.
