The 'Wheee! Dumbly is Gay' Poll

[themostepotente]

He's here. He's queer. He's here to do a cheer. A lil' poll on the matter of Dumbly's preference for le beau sex.

Alas, I have no DD icons :P

[Poll #1076455]

Have fun all!

I didn't know we could pick more than one (hence why I split hairs with realism versus idealism), but looking at the comments it appears to be an option. Oh well. Let's just summarize it as I believe that there is more than one (or three) characters that are flamingly gay.

methinks, it would probably be fun to write Dumbledore/Scrimgeour once... if they were both about 100 years younger!!!

This poll wins at life!

Also, Remus is totally gay.

Dumbledore/Grindelwald (or Grindelwald/Dumbledore) flips my skirt big time.

I'm even WEARING a skirt. (*flip!*)

I don't think that's what they meant. Since your poll only includes positive reactions, it's impossible to gauge how many of the prospective voters reacted with a 'meh, so what' or such. If you don't care for that bit of data that's fine; I think the poster above thought you did, but neglected it. I dunno.

Wher'es the femslash?

I'm with those who were like "so what?" It means virtually nothing, except the huge explosion of related lulz that has occured on the intarwebs.

It's funny -- as much as I luurrrve me some Snack, I have a hard time conceptualizing either Snape or Sirius as actually being gay.

*puzzles over this* *hurts her puzzler a lil'*

Cognitive dissonance ftw!

Dumbledore/Voldemort, yes, but preferably Dumbledore/Tom! I liked the idea of that pairing since DH, though I've never read it. :D

[clare-dragonfly.livejournal.com]

I think if JKR were to say another character were gay, it would be Sirius, mostly because he is also already dead.

YOU ARE LARGE YOU CONTAIN MULTITUDES

(I keep hearing that bit of the poem and can never resist responding to it...)

[saridout.livejournal.com]

What Dumbly pairings will you ship?

DD/OMC

If Rowling had chosen another male character in place of Dumbledore, who do you wish it would have been?

DD/Elphias Doge

[arethinn]

Hehe, indeed.

Imagine meeting you here? Usually we cross paths in otherkin or some such place, right? (I used to be tass)

My thoughts on this got so big they turned into a post. (http://amanuensis1.livejournal.com/178219.html) ^_^

Will you slash Dumbly now?

You left out "slashed those two since the carpet book". Really, the subtext was practically text.

[clare-dragonfly.livejournal.com]

Oh my, indeed so!

[a_belladonna]

"Will you slash Dumbly now?"

...and then there were those who slashed him before he was outed by JKR. ;)

Another vote for "And So What"?

[matitablu.livejournal.com]

Lol, you have a point here!

[author-by-night.livejournal.com]

You asked for opinions, so they gave you their opinions.

[threnody.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of it. 'Disgust' was included as well as several flavours of 'rock on'. I'm not disgusted, I just... don't care. :)

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

'Disgust' is not a positive reaction. And I'm looking at the numbers and onlysix people were disgusted as opposed to over three hundred pretty pleased.

What I don't understand is how these people can come over and say they don't give a fuck when they were probably the most vocal about there not being any homosexual characters in the first place.

Dissenting opinions? I have an open door policy. You want to disagree with me - go right the fuck ahead.

But the tone of her post (especially with the 'kthnxbai' at the end) didn't agree with me.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Hmm, you forgot 'don't give a shit and please for to be keeping the cheering to a dull roar, kthxbai'.

Oh, I'm sorry. I guess I just expected people to keep it on a semi mature level.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

So crack those knuckles and get typing!

'Half-blood Prince' were code words for 'dead by the end of book seven.' :P
