Perhaps if you don't want people to jump on what you write, perhaps you need to learn to be more clear in what you are trying to say. If it keeps happening to you, perhaps you need to look for the common denominator in the equation.
Nicely put; starsuperion, I think you really need to pay a little bit more attention to what you write, you have this habit of just tumbling thoughts down in a big stream of conciousness that you don't edit/clarify before you post. It sometimes makes your train of thought hard to follow (And I don't just mean in this thread)
Always worth reading through a post and giving it some thought before you actually post it (a lesson I learned with work emails many years ago
)
You guys may be right... I think that what I meant to convey and what was written was very different, and it raised a bunch of questions to you guys.. but like I said, I meant to only defend what I was seeing as a reason why some do not like RTD's added cultural style..I should have used his over emotional tone to relate to the emo crowd as a different analogy..oh well..
StarSuperion, the only references to Homosexuality in Dr. Who proper is acknowledgement of our existence and that we are just like everyone else. To turn around and say you don't want your 10 year old daughter exposed to that, is extremely offensive, and suggests extreme bigotry, what is it about that message that you are afraid of your 10 year old seeing? There is nothing anywhere close to two guys getting it on, so, it's a real wonder what you saw in Dr. Who that you interpretted as such that caused you react in such a way
honestly, it is my right as a parent to raise my kids anyway I see fit.. if you think it conveys extreme bigotry to shield her from what I deem Obscene acts, till she is older, then SO BE IT... I am a Bigot then in that way.. quite frankly, I don't care what you believe, and I am not afraid to feel what I feel. I am so tired of this you have to have tolerance to this or that or you are going to be jumped on as a bigot or wrong.. fine I am wrong, so what.. I don't care..I am going to be who I want and do what I want as a free person.
as for the message.. there is nothing about that I am afraid of her seeing, I don't care what people do behind closed doors, but for the first 50 years of television there wasn't any of that geared towards kids, so why should there be that now?? Fine for adults, but she is 10.. let her be 10.. when she is older and wants to watch Gay porn so be it, that is her choice then.. but as a child, I tend to seek to shield her from as much "sexual references" as possible..We can infer a character is gay, but without the overt sexual references..As far as Doctor who, again my discussion point was that RTD was a little more risque then Moffat has been so far.. Captain Jack in Doctor who doesn't bother me.. neither did the lesbos in the car in that traffic jam episode..now Torchwood does bother me, and I would shield her from most of that..(that is what I was referring to) whether you like that choice or not, it is what I feel is my right as a father..
but let me tell you this much, I know for a fact..I am not alone..
Sindataur, I have gay friends.. METRO Friends and so on.. but I don't want my daughter sitting in on a smooch fest (straight or Gay)..I still want her to play with Barbies.. when she comes to stay with me on weekends, my girlfriend and I call it "PG" time.. I am far from the classic "nuclear Family" and I doubt that even exists anymore.. so I am not some throw back, knuckle dragger.. but it is like I said, society has become so freaking sensitive to any opposing views to what is now considered Tolerant, that it's no wonder some seek to turn to violence.. (not that I condone it at all) but it's people who act like you and call anyone who doesn't accept you a hater.. that brings about hate in itself..
If I didn't like you because you were gay, then that is my feeling, my choice..
does it physically hurt you? no...
do you care anyway? no...
so then why call someone a hater, if it really has no effect on you?? see my point??
you don't have to accept it, but don't go and make it an issue, if you truly don't give a crap..
as for me, I am not that way..
