    • RE: My upload wasn't gay enough

      I know he was not trying to insult me personally. Don't think I'm a spoiled little kid, that is ranting just because people didn't do what he wants. The situation in general, just raised some things I felt I needed to question.

      Like I said before, I totally get that the mods need to keep things running smoothly. I understand and do not take it personally.

      About what you took from what I said, that's on you buddy. I will adress your paraphrasing points individually though, because I do not appreciate having words put into my mouth like that.

      1. I don't think mods should do all the work to show the gay themes in my uploads. Actually I tried to show how GLBT fitted into the show (not as much as appreciated by the website, I get that). I was just trying to understand what would be enough, maybe. I think I do now. One question I raised, that people just ignored, what's so gay about GAME OF THRONES, really? It is not a gay show, it does not have gay characters or gay themed plots, and yet, all episodes are here.

      2. I don't think Goateebiker is a bad mod. You're saying that, not me. If I have offended him, in any way, I would like to sincerely apologize. It was not my intention, and I now realize I may have gotten a bit caught up in my own questioning.

      3. I was not going to adress this. Seriously. Because what you said is a bit sad. Sad in a way that, again, like I said before, if you're not a walking stereotype, you're either considered a bigot, or not a nice person. I respect this community very much, and I think I bring a lot to the table by not setling on being a walking stereotype. I refuse to behave a certain way because people think it's right or normal. I don't need to wave a rainbow flag in your face to say that I'm gay and proud of it. I do not need to dress, or talk, or act a certain way to show people that I'm gay and proud of it. We will never reach true equality, again, if that's even possible, if people continue to portray gay people exclusively like that. Especially if we're part of this community. And I'll say it again, I think Ru Paul's Drag Race does not portray drag queens positively. It is my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I will say, again, that I should've phrased it better in my first post/message to Goateebiker. The enfases on the word real, was not to take a hit on drag queens, but to phraise contestantsin The Voice.

      4. I did not blast him. The hardest term I used was ignorant. In a sense of "lack of knowledge" (regarding the show uploaded to be exact). Ignorance is not something used to insult someone in my eyes. I'm ignorant about many things, simply because I do not know them well enough. The rule about uploading TV Shows is one of them. I made ignorant remarks too, simply because I did not understand the rules well enough. And again, my goal was not to blast him, and if I have offended him in any way, I apologize, again. Sincerely. I was blasted though. Was called a bigot…but anyway...

      If people are gonna come in here, offend me, "paraphrase" what I write and simply make me look like a jackass because I have an opinion, again, maybe we should just give this discussion a rest.

      I totally understand the decision now. You have to keep things running smoothly here.

      I just thought it could be a nice topic of discussion. But, since I've been called a bigot and stuff, I think we can give it a rest.

    • RE: My upload wasn't gay enough

      I'm extemely sorry. I didn't want to sound like a bigot at all. I have a lot of respect for the drag queens. In fact I didn't even talk about drag queens in general, but about that show in particular. They're just portrayed as catty-bitchy-divas. And I know for a fact that they're not like that, all the time. Their true talent is hidden by what netwoork executives think is going to attract more viewers. They are a lot more than that, is what I'm saying.

      And maybe I should've phrased it better. But I wasn't talking about drag queens specifically when I mentioned the flag waving, rubbish clothing and fool acting. I was talking about how gay people are portrayed in general, in television. Not only on that show, but in many others as well. It contradicts the true meaning of equality, you know? What I was trying to say is that, not every gay person is either a drag queen or a charmingly weird character. I believe that we are only going to reach true equality, if that's even possible, when we drop most of those labels. Even between the gay community as well. We fight so much not to be defined by our sexuality in society, even though there are a million labels within the community. we should be able to  embrace difference. I never thought I would hear that an upload wasn't gay enough. I mean, come on. To me, that's slightly ignorant. Not only for the statement itself, but for the fact that, yes, gays are extremely well represented in that show, in a very positive way.

      Again, I apologize deeply if I have insulted anyone. And no, I wasn't looking for your support, buddy. But for your opinion. And I appreciate it. It actually gave me the opportunity to explian myself a bit better. I have a lot of respect for the Drag Queens, and I know how much they mean to the community.

      I believe it's a shame, just because it's not an all gay stereotypefest cast, that my upload wasn't approved. And what's so gay about Game of Thrones, really? Ya know?

    • My upload wasn't gay enough

      So I just received this loooovely message from Goateebiker, one of aour moderators:

      "Your upload above will be disapproved. A Special GAY Story or relevance couldn't be detected. The one you have uploaded and has been approved has been revoked from public list, but you have leechers so you have to seed that upload to the end."

      Seriously, it made me chuckle a bit when I first read, in capital letters, a Special GAY Story.

      I tried to upload episodes of The Voice, and anyone who has watched or is familiar with the show knows that's completely untrue. But additionally, I raised a few questions and concerns in my reply that I thought were worth discussing. Here it is:

      _"The show has quite a few gay contestants. It's the first time a show like this does not go out of their way to hide the constestants sexuality. They appear happily with their family and partners providing a very healthy image for the public.

      I know your job is to keep things tight and running around here. But you should really look into things before getting to these kinds of conclusions. Seriously. Even more so, when you say a Special Gay Story wasn't detected. That just enphasizes the fact that you did not care to look into the show before making such conclusions. Sorry buddy, but it's a pretty ignorant remark.

      Since we're on the subject, may I ask what is so Homossexually Special about Ru Paul's Drag Race? Really. Because to me, it is extremely insulting that gays, or even a part of the gay community is portrayed that way in National Television. Now, I bet you guys didn't even think twice about approving that upload, just because it has Drag in the name. Whereas a show like The Voice, showing people from the community, with REAL talent, bringing their family and life partners to cheer them on is not special enough? Why must we think that we're only represented when waving a fucking rainbow flag, dressed in rubbish clothing, and acting like fools?! Give me a break!

      I think it is because of actions like that, that there's still so much difference in this world. No, I don't want to get too deep here, but to me, it's the little things that count. I would have never expected a moderator of a gay online community to send me a message basically saying, sorry, your upload isn't gay enough. Because that is the bottom line of your message buddy. And it may even be a little personal, because my first torrent was approved with no problems whatsoever, and clearly, not by you (probaby by Uwe, who is a total sweetheart, and super helpful btw)

      Anyway, I don't know what kind of person you are. If your are the kind of person that will ban me for personal reasons, or for me expressing my opinions. I hope not. Seriously hope not. I hope we can all be adults here, but mostly that you try and understand what I'm trying to tell you."_
