It’s a good ass show.
Probably my favorite comedy show that was ever on there.
Nah, Poison/Roxy were newhalfs from their very conception as characters for the original arcade and S.Fam versions of Final Fight. The ‘changed sex for overseas market’ thing is just a rumor that had a lot of staying power for some reason.
Also: My favorite Mission Hill characters were the gay couple who ran the diner. ‘Quit yer fussssssin’ >: d
^Not meaning to be a pendant with you Lucretz, but you’re saying the All About Capcom book is wrong?
Guess Ill say it again here:
Some other things I wanted to add is that when it comes to the sexual cues of attraction, (more visually charged for men and more emotionally charged for women) the weaker cue can work as a way to enhance the target person’s total appeal enough that the flaws that were attached to the stronger cue become more and more unimportant to the point that the whole person becomes more desirable.
Like, think of the appeal of a gamer girl. A lot of the time the average straight male gamer initially finds that girl undesirable to average in looks. But since shes likes and plays games and even better, is above average in skill level in games she gives off the emotional cue of having something of interest in common with the guy gamers, a possible rival to overcome, someone to have fun with, etc, then the gamer girls average looks suddenly aren’t so bad. Even to the point that she is now desirable by the guy gamers.
@Hatvachu I got all of my conclusions though deductive reasoning. I got my jumpoff point from Ogi Ogas and Sai Gaddam’s research trying to expand on Alfred Kinsey’s look into sexual attraction.

I wouldnt mind trying to make my own version of the Kinsey scale if I can get all the information i need.
Guess I’ll also ask again since the thread was closed, where did you hear about this? 
Jeez, where did everyone go? I had so much I needed to learn from this thread :sad:
It pretty much stopped when JustB told me to physically hang with transgendered people and talk to them, in order to get firsthand experience on the topic.
Where the eff do you li…
checks profile
sweet tits, OHIO? holy smokes.
Haha, what’s the deal?
And you live where?
I just did not expect Ohio.
I live in Massachusetts. I have NO IDEA where I’d find any gay people :looney:
The internet.

Man what the fuOH I GET IT :lol:
Reading a book called Transgender Voices.
Found terms like intergendered and metagendered.
Sorry I resorted to urbandict, but I couldn’t find another short concise definition on such short notice.
I’m struggling to see the difference between the two.
Also found a humorous video on male and female comparison.

Also, a very good read on masculinity in general.
Yeah, it seems like a term waiting to go, the English language has been slow to adapt to removing masculine / feminine titles but it is happening.
I haven’t heard this one brought up much though because I’m not sure many outwardly homosexual females have an issue with being called lesbians, it kind of makes it clear to guys they’re not interested, to call them Gay, particularly in the case of a masculine Lesbian, might unwittingly invite the attention of a homosexual man.
Always has been transgender, post - op in Japan (essentially female, but tying it to the N.A origin of being a transvestite) and pre - op in America because beating up females was taboo at that point in video games.
I just hope it becomes a misnomer someday.
Anyway, some interesting quotes in Lori Girshick’s *Transgender Voices *the second quote being on the term intergender:
"“Wilchins (1997) refutes the notion that the binary is natural: “the more we look, the less natural sex looks. Everywhere we turn, every aspect of sex seems to be saturated with cultural needs and priorities” (p.51). In fact, she continues, “Gender is not what culture creates out of my body’s sex; rather, sex is what culture makes when it genders my body. The cultural system of gender looks at my body, [and] creates a narrative of binary difference” (p. 51).”
"Several individuals talked about a need to understand “gray” areas as opposed to assigning only two discrete categories. “The fallacy inherent in the bi-gender system is its failure to recognize that we represent a continuum with a nearly infinite number of shadings or gradations,” commented Joy (MtF). And for Gabriel, who identifies as intergendered, the binary doesn’t work at alll. “As an intergendered person I reject this binary system and do not associate characteristics or traits with a particular ‘gender.’ The ways in which people identify or express themselves are neither ‘feminine’ nor ‘masculine,’ they just are!”
The more I look into this, the more it seems the western world, sans Native American culture, has refused to work with the metric system, genderwise, and most everyone else, is ahead of the curve, while we remain stuck behind by the force of sheer stubbornness.
The consistent belief in one thing with the visceral rejection of another, even if the other is also just a belief that has nothing inherently harmful to it…
Here’s something that might blow people’s minds: I consider myself agendered. That’s just a rejection of tropes relating to gender itself. I mean if you met me and asked about who I am you would say that the gender i identify with is male, I am not doubting that my interests are heavily influenced by the fact that the gaze of the other wants me to be male. The thing is, I just don’t self-brand myself with anything but a few things. Some may identify themselves as a gamer, but I tell people “I have played games in the past many times and may play more in the future.” since i don’t self-brand and identify in the normative way. I believe my way of identifying and self-branding myself is totally different and unintuitive.
The best advantage of being agendered is probably the fact you aren’t threatened. If you’re a man working under a woman or a woman who likes video games, you aren’t going to give yourself flack for it.
I also love MLP and the color pink, but since I’m not the type to buy stuff, there is nothing pink in my possession. I would like pink walls in my room tbh. I don’t see it as feminine, but as “people who want people to act in a certain way because of the way they were born, and the gaze of others would call this pretty damned feminine in this case” if that makes any sense to you.
I think women should split on the first few dates, men shouldn’t be stigmatized as potential rapists if they’re working with kids, and I think the concept of gender might be dangerous. I’m not going to consider it a threat to my masculinity if a woman pays for all of my dates, that’s the advantage of being agendered.
I never got flack for being agendered, because people automatically assume that I identify as male, and I do mock the whole concept of gender. The fact is I wouldn’t mind if women paid for my dates.
All that sounds pretty typical. I think you’re really overestimating how much your typical dude adheres to gender expectations if you think liking MLP and being down with chicks paying for dates makes you exceptional in some way. I think you’re a little more into labels than you realize
There’s a difference between identifying and not really caring which sounds like rejecting it though. I flat out reject/don’t care about gender norms. I don’t think I’m exceptional either. I thought it might blow people’s minds that some people do not identify with a gender since much of the conversation around it involves people identifying one way or another.
Pretty sure a lot of MLP fans identify as male, maybe a lot don’t care about gender norms.
I probably shouldn’t said “blow people’s minds” because it has a “im better than you” connotation. It wasn’t intended. It was intended as a fact that you might not know, for example, people are bitten by more new yorkers than sharks. I don’t see how I’m going too deep into labels. If you read my post, and read my method of identifying, you would understand
Let me ask you this: does a person who doesn’t really go to church, prays once a week, but prays for people when they die, and believes in the Christian God not a christian? Probably a Christian. If they flat out reject all that, including the existence of God, they’re probably an atheist.
Christian is to a person who identifies with a gender as to atheist is to agendered(sort of, since one has to do with rejecting a claim, and i’m not really rejecting the claim of the existence of gender)…
If you want me to clarify, feel free to post.
Oh man, you’re so enlightened.
You’re totally right man… the idea of gender was cooked up by “the man” trying to keep us down. All these supposed differences between males and females are just fabricated and forced on us by the media. We’re all the same, there’s no differences. Pass the bong bro.
