homophobia

[baratron]

Anyone know what you can do about homophobic kids?

The other day he was telling us that Fire Red got really gay after a while, and using Ditto in battle made it less gay. When I asked him to rephrase that he didn't get what I was intending. Using "gay" to mean "bad" may not mean that you want to kill anyone who happens to be gay, but it certainly doesn't make for a good environment for anyone gay or bisexual who's reading these forums - especially not any young teenager who's insecure in their sexuality.

Fire Red is a Pokemon game and Ditto is a particular Pokemon.

What he actually said is here (http://forum.tcgplayer.com/showthread.php?p=75109#post68131), and my reply is here (http://forum.tcgplayer.com/showthread.php?p=75109#post68581). The irony is that saying using Ditto in battle rather than for breeding makes the game "less gay" is literally true, as Ditto is a genderless Pokemon who can breed with almost any other Pokemon regardless of that Pokemon's gender.

I hope that made sense?!
