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!

Refresh my poor memory - what did Slughorn decorate?

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

And it would have spared us from the Snape/Lily nonsense!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Thank you for leaving a detailed view on the subject. I apologise if you felt my choices were limited. Honestly, that there were people that didn't care didn't even enter into my mind. But that was an oversight on my part.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I nearly clicked Remus as well, but I'll be damned if he isn't actually a closet case already, so there's really no need.

WORD!

I really need to get a Snupin icon, dammit :P

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm certain there are. But DD/OMC totally does not interest me.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

See, this is why I don't understand why people wouldn't care. You give a slasher a bonified gay character, and they still aren't fucking happy. This just baffles me.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

For question three I picked both Harry and Draco, because how can one be gay without the other?

I like the way you think. *G*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

God, especially movie!Remus. But I'll behave and not discuss my hatred of Thewlis. *G*

[cnary-crem-dght.livejournal.com]

Dead? Oh, that's why my books missing like 30 pages. ;D

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Sirius always read to me as bi with a purely sexual interest in men. You'll note I'm not a huge Sirius/Remus shipper.

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

So write them in their youth!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Re poll: Thank you!

Re Lupin: Word!

*peeks under skirt*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I was going to incorporate females and decided against it last minute.

Think it warrants another poll with just the lasses?

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

So let's see some naughty Dumbly art from you!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

How exactly does it mean virtually nothing?

I love your icon btw!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

Do you think she picked DD because he's dead? If that's the case, why not Snape?

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

You dun like Albus/Gellert?

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

I already left my 2 cents, babe! *G*

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

True, I did leave that out. Totally unintentional!

[themostepotente.livejournal.com]

True. It took me awhile to appreciate Snapeldore, though. But it was well before she outed him.

I mean "enh, *shrug* so what?". I don't personally care either way what his orientation happens to be. It doesn't change anything about the storyline except give a different colour to his relationship with Grindelwald, which isn't necessary for the plot (although it may be more satisfying than just a hunger for power and youthful blindness to how things can turn out bad for others).

Icon: thanks, made it myself :)

[clare-dragonfly.livejournal.com]

I think that's part of the reason, yes. And Snape being in love with Lily is such a big part of the plot that I don't think she could make him gay.

[countouttheday.livejournal.com]

I guess if I had to choose another character for her to out, it would have been.... no, crap, it still would have been Dumbledore.

Manipulative!Gay!Dumbledore basically redeems everything I did not like about the books, it is so awesome. It may even lead to peace in the middle east. Okay, well maybe not.

*cough*ialreadyshippeddumbledore/voldemort*cough*

I didn't answer the poll because my feelings weren't represented, so I wonder how many others like me chose something on the pleased side, or didn't answer at all. So count me as one for 'meh'.

And actually, I don't give a crap about gay characters in the books. In fact, I'm highly sick and freaking tired of hearing OTHER people whining about how they think X character is gayer than a spring lamb, and why doesn't JKR just admit it and get it over with. Or others, who despite evidence that whatever character they love is straight, slash them with everone under the sun and then some. And on top of that, I'm sick of people caring so much about this shit, because a character's sexuality has NOTHING TO DO with the story being told, and *that's* why it's not in the books.

So yeah, I'm a little frayed around the edges over all this stinking hoopla about Dumbledore being gay and how it's so bloody fecking wonderful. Who the fuck cares? And that's not on your poll. So I was snarky, and I apologize. I really do. It's not your fault I'm lashing out. I just hate that I'm having to hide from the internet to avoid this shit.
