He'd trip over it.
Go for Data any day, fully mobile in any situation, eventually had a good sense of humour and has a crazy brother.What more could you want?
C-3PO gets points for being gay.
Data was also pretty gay.
R2 vs. Data then?
I think R2 would fare better than 3PO, but Data possesses too much general knowledge for either of them to beat. R2 might try to cheat at some point, though, get into the system and put a delay on Data's buzzer or something.
How are they gay?
Are you kidding? Get them both feather boas.
???This one baffles me.....
Isn't it strange how stereotypes are enthusiastically embraced where fictional characters are concerned?
Except I don't even see the stereotypes here...but yes, I'd imagine such comments would be offensive to the apparently large gay community here on this BBS.
RAMA
With 3PO, there are somewhat "effeminate" mannerisms. With Data, I have no idea. He sang an Irving Berlin tune once? He didn't have a girlfriend for a few years?
I think Tgirl was just being light about it, but it does seem that stereotypes that would otherwise be abhorrent are encouraged with fictional characters.
Data isn't gay. But have you ever seen C3PO involved with a female?
