The queer corner
 

Did a search and nothing came up. I'm thinking it would be nice to have a space for any queer members or people who support the community to share things related to the queer/LGBTQ experience. It could be anything, from music related stuff, to any kind of rights news, stories, films, shows, whatever.

For example, this came to my attention this morning: Travis Scott Addresses Amanda Lepore’s Absence on Astroworld Cover Art

Scott's explanation for removing Lepore (whom btw I didn't know anything about and still don't beyond this issue) because she "upstaged everyone" including him, seems terribly weak, given there are 5 half naked or naked cis-women, who are much more eyecatching than Lepore. I was actually convinced at the beginning that the alternate cover was all Lapore and it didn't make the cut (in which case the explanation would make sense since the naked women really do take centre stage), only to find out later, after much comparison between the images posted by LaChapelle and Scott, that Lapore is just a small figure on the left hand side in the "alternate" cover. Strange gaffe...

wow long time no see adidasss!

Hello there wolverine! Indeed it has been a while...:)

Well i 100% support the community though I dont think there are any LGBTQ members here. I appreciate the well-intentioned thread whether there is or isnt

You're looking at one...;) And if my memory serves me well, I think wolverine might be bi? Or I got it mixed up. In any case, there have been more than one, and I'm sure that's still the case, whether that's talked about a lot or not. ;)

you remember correctly :)

Yay for my brain! :D

You can ask the mods to kind of monitor a thread dedicated to that kind of discussion to keep it from getting trolled or create a member club and invite only certain people. I don't suspect it would get much use since we all talk openly about these kinds of issues.

You know, I was about to post that there's probably no need for that since I see musicbanter as a relatively mature community, and then Oriphiel posted. So...yeah...:/

What, you don't like Hard Gay? :confused:

Pretty much the refrain of MB

We got some trolls here but i dont think anyone is bad enough to troll a thread like this

You must have missed that thread aimed at bullying a forumista about two weeks ago.

Btw, this thread is kind of silly. LGBT peeps can just express themselves in the normal threads instead of being stuck in "the gay corner", and if people try to give them shit for talking about gay rights/movies/sex in the regular threads, well, those bigots can just go fuck themselves. Never stopped me and Batlord from text-fucking across the forum like every week.

But then again, I love silly threads, and it's not like it really matters all that much where people choose to bant. Carry on.

Nobody's stuck in anything, but your argument could basically be applied also to gay clubs, gay chatrooms or forums or websites or newspapers or any kind of specific LGBTQ oriented venue. The point of all of those things, and hopefully of this thread, is that maybe queer people don't want to sift through the entire forum to read or share about something that interests them and their community. Being a minority means that content that is specifically catered to you is a little harder to find. Hence, specialized venues etc. ;)

Not really. What youre asking for is a regular bar to have a LGBTQ day, not a LGBTQ version Music Banter. If I want to talk about a specific comic book or video game I make a thread about it, if you want to talk about a specific queer topic you make a thread about it. Either way it's getting lost among all the other threads and posts. No content on here is specifically catered to any particular group.

You are free to express your opinions about anything from your perspective. If you want moderation or control over the subject you should consider my recommendations. Otherwise, you are going to be intermingled with people who may not share you ideology.

Jokes don't make you less mature.

Straight people care about LGBT issues, too. Movies, books, news stories, etc., shouldn't be shoehorned into one thread just because they involve gay people, as if gay people are the only ones who should take notice or care.

Clubs are for hookups, man. They're great for what they are. But this forum is for discourse, and the sexual orientation of a person doesn't magically make them unrelatable to people of other orientations. Trust me, you can post gay stuff in the regular threads, nobody will judge you.

So yeah, this thread is silly. It's pretty much the same as if someone made a "Black Dude Corner". Why bother? You've got a whole forum to play with.

This is weird, I absolutely didn't mean for this thread to be controversial or to spend the amount of time we are spending right now discussing its merits. If you don't like it, don't use it, don't write in it, don't open it. If no one else sees any merit in it, they won't open it or use it or post in it. And we'll all live happily ever after.

not even a little bit

where's the STRAIGHT pride parade huh????

It doesn't really matter though. We don't need every thread to be a spam thread. Adidasss wants this thread to be what he wants it to be and it's not for a bad reason. At this stage in the forum's evolution and diminished membership I don't know that it's gonna be used for much, agreed, but that's neither here nor there. Let it be what it's supposed to be and salud to him for luck.

So what are some hot queer topics you want to talk about?

We all know youre only saying that to try and get nudes from WWWP.

I've been a member of this forum for over seven years and still no nudes. She owes me.

I've been here 4 and have only seen the nudes of one female member and zero guys. I think it's our turn :(

I nominate OH.

You son of a bitch. I'm not that fat compared to... members. I deserve a nude from you hateful women ****s.

*plots secretive murders*

Eh, it's not really all that controversial. You do you, man. But this a forum, and we're here for the bants. I call silly stuff out when I see it, doesn't mean that I'm deeply offended or want the thread to be deleted or anything.

Btw, I thought about it at work, and realized that I actually love this thread, and am going to bump it into perpetuity with super gay Hi-NRG songs.

^ makes me think of The Big Gay Following off Balls of Steel lmao

Yo, do you remember this banger?

I don't think so mate.

I remember Electric Six - Gay Bar though.

And a song called Gay Boyfriend from around the same time.

Big riddims.

Can I make a straight corner on a queer forum? I feel like I'd get banned if I even suggested it.

Why can't we just leave this alone though? What is this accomplishing?

An interesting thread m7+1.

It's certainly getting you twisted. That's reason enough for me to do it. I already responded to the OP with serious recommendations.

All I'm saying is that the OP wants this to be a thing so let it just be that.

lol this is true.

serious discussion: Should Music Banter members scream the F-word?
What do you think?

• Is it like cool, no big deal, anyone can call anyone the f-word.
• It depend on the situation, like it's OK if as long as the two involved are cool with it, other people shouldn't care the f-word is being thrown around.
• People really need to refrain from using the word on Music Banter.

I don't think this is a thread about what we should and shouldn't say. I think adidasss just wanted to make a thread for stuff he wants to discuss. Nothing wrong with that.

Are you telling me I shouldn't have said that?

I dunno. I think it's just an innocent thread.

:laughing:

*two seconds later*

Wow. Ok.

You seem like a classic troll but I'll indulge you in this one and respond.

First question would be, what are you, as a straight person, doing on a queer forum? [probable answer:trolling]
Second question, why do you need or think a "straight" corner would be beneficial to you?

If you can come up with a rational, non-trolling reason for the above two questions, I'm sure you wouldn't be banned. :)

For me, this is the hypothetical situation where your parallel would be applicable and valid:

You are raised by gay parents in the Castro district of San Francisco, they don't allow you to leave this area, you have no access to any media aside from gay TV shows, films and news (with about 0.001% straight content) so you join this hypothetical queer forum since these are the only things you know and there are only a handful of straight people there, therefore you feel slightly isolated and wouldn't mind sharing things with people who are like you and would therefore probably be interested in reading about things that are not so very interesting for your surroundings, since they are, you know, predominantly gay.

Reality:
You are a straight troll who lives in a predominantly heterosexual world and is therefore not isolated from anything since your whole surrounding reflects your sexual reality and who would join a queer forum just to troll on queer people since there is no valid reason why: a) you would join a queer forum and b) why you would need to open a "straight" corner on this queer forum.

/EOD.

Interesting, more trolls.
I don't find this particularly surprising, since it's the internet, what I find a little disconcerting is the apparent lack of moderation here, if I may be a little critical with the current version of musicbanter.

It would be perfect if you could moderate your own threads at least but not likely I guess.

To answer your "serious" query, try replacing the F-word with the N-word, see how many laughs you get. :/
