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

[lighthorseman]

Remember how LHM said girls distracted him in High School and therefore everyone is distracted by people of the opposite sex so we should segregate schools and the military? Yeah, I think LHM is an ephebephile and is pretty doing the same thing on a different topic.

Yeah, I never said anything of the sort, but full marks for straw manning and ad homing.

Read them and weep. And it's not an ad hom to describe a part of your character.

Good one smart guy... one doesn't say what you said it said, and the other isn't even quoting me.

Honestly, I expect this kind of thing on a fundie board. Normally by now a critically-thinking person would accede that perhaps he over-generalized in his assumptions and retract his statements. I called trolling before half-jokingly; I'm not joking anymore. He's either joking or an asshole.

Have you not met LHM before? There's not a single hill he won't die on. Whether it is mocking a Down's Syndrome kid, the remote possibility that the Earth is flat, or 1+1=2, he will argue any point to the bitter-most end - no matter how inane or wrong headed.

I think I apologised about the Down Syndrome kid.

 It is still possible the Earth is flat and that 1+1=/=2.

See? That's why people get pissed off at you so much. You say shit just to be contrary.

[Smurfette Principle]

LHM, I'll admit that occasionally, I look at someone underage and think they're sexy. 

*snip*

right. As have most other people. My point.

And... I provided documentation showing this isn't some weird idea that exists only in my head, but that has recieved general main stream acceptance.

Here's more

Will and Grace whether you loved or hated it, its hard to believe the show would have rated so well if people didn't think it was a realistic depiction.

Something being "mainstream" doesn't make it accurate. According to your logic, The Birth of a Nation wouldn't have done so well if it wasn't an accurate representation of black people and the KKK. Popularity =/= truth.

[lighthorseman]

Popularity with homosexuals, though?

I don't think black people much cared for Birth of a Nation, but what did homosexuals think of Will and Grace?

SAorry, but that falls in the "crazy stuff I really believe" category.

I have not; I'm actually pretty new on the boards.

Going back to the original topic, one of the main reasons fashion models are so skinny is utilitarian.  It's so that they're easier to fit clothes to.  A dress doesn't need as much alteration to look good on a skinny model.

Wll, that is just fuckin’ lazy.

WTF LHM?!

I'm 29 and haven't been attracted to a fourteen year old or anyone with a fourteen year old's physique since I was... Oh, I don't know FOURTEEN YEARS OLD?! In fact, I prefer it if the guys are OLDER than I am!

Yeah, I believe you prefer guys who are older, but if you're telling me you've never seen a well built teenager and thought, "damn!" well, yeah, I don't believe you

You’re projecting again.

It is still possible the Earth is flat and that 1+1=/=2.

You’re right, 1+1 = 10.

I'm not discussing the 1+1 thing again in this thread. You want to discuss it start a new thread and I'll join you but suffice to say, discussion among real, respected mathematicians about exactly what 1+1 = is a real thing.

LHM, based on comments in another thread, you seem to have misread what was being discussed. We were in a discussion about a pair of right wing homophobes who were claiming that the reason why "stick figure thin" is the ideal for models and actresses is that the gay males who "control" the fashion industry are attracted to 14 year old boys, therefore "forcing" women with the bodies of 14 year old boys into the forefront of the popular consciousness. For proof of their homophobia, one need only look to see that they distinguished between "gays" and "guys". They are making their based from a place of "damned gay people". When you step in and, with no qualification of any sort, tacitly support their position, you appear to be agreeing with them. No one on this board, so far as I know, is a long-distance mind reader. Had you said "Aren't many people attracted to 14 year olds?", which I think is the point you were trying to make - namely that teeny-bopper physiques are considered attractive across the board and you can hardly blame lack of curvaceousness in fashion solely on the Gay Ephebophiles - no one would have associated you with the homophobes quoted in the OP.

OK... Aren't there many people attracted to 14 year olds?

[Eniliad]

Well, he's got tenacity, I'll give credit for that. I won't lie though, the generalizations make me cringe. The other LGB I know (don't know any TG personally) can be kinky mofos, but...

Anyway, speaking of things that make me cringe: The absolutely emaciated bodies of those fashion models. I mean, my god... that doesn't look healthy. I can't imagine straight guys finding that attractive. If the purpose is to just pretend the models exist solely as things to hang clothes on, let's just put mannequins on tracks and save these poor girls' lives. >.>

As for the comments by the jackasses in the OP: Typical over-generalizing and dismissal that I think we're all used to reading/seeing/hearing. It reminds me of the laughable comments I read back when they were trying to gender-equalize the astronaut profession... "what about the gozangas? Won't they get in the way in zero-G?" Not in so many words obviously, but the same degree of ignorance is present here.

Is LHM seriously arguing the "homosexuals are pedophiles" angle?

Seriously?

I have known quite a few gay people, hell I have a gay man in my math class and I don't know any that are attracted to 14 year old physiques.
