Fandom bitch

Really must thank gaaak for this icon.

Really, really must thank tinamuggi for constantly supplying me with LJ codes, because I am far too lazy to make note of them.

Okay, since I joined the HP fandom as a writer, I have had THREE, count them THREE people in the past SIX months tell me they were gay males only to find out they were actually females. I realize being a slashwhore, being a homosexual male is really cool for some folks. As much as I find myself a gay male trapped in a woman's body, I still accept that I am female with no hope of this ever changing :P Now then, ONE of the three admitted this on her own, but TWO people could simply NOT fake their way through boisex. How pathetic is this? If you are going to lie, at least fucking be effective. I'm sorry, but how does a gay male not know what a perineum is? Am I the only one that finds this fucked up? I'd love some opinions here.

LMAO! Ahem.

I've met several of these impostors myself. Some were so obsessed with the homosexual male image that they created a seperate personality, history, and image (complete with photos) for their male self-conceptualization (male Mary Sue, anyone?). One went so far as to involve herself in a serious, romantic relationship with a gay man over the Internet. Personally, I don't place much stock in Internet romances, but these two certainly did. When the truth was discovered (inadvertently discovered -- by an unsuspecting friend), there was, of course, a huge falling-out, complete with betrayal, hurt feelings, and suicide threats.

Gah.

People lie, sure, but that level of devotion a fictional disguise is ... disturbing, to say the least. RP is one thing, but toying with real people is quite another.

Anyway, the relevance of that story is in the moral: either lie better (i.e., don't get caught), or don't lie at all.

Thanks for the insight and input, PD. Is this not a fucked up world we live in? *chuckles*

I guess I must've been lucky... I haven't really met any of these ppl (well, that I know of -- if I have, they haven't claimed to be gay men to me, hehe), bu then again I'm probably one of the more introverted and silent ones in the fandom, so I only talk to few and occasionally.

I'm so glad someone else sees it the way I do.

I must hang out with a much different crowd. I have only come across 3 (I think) gay men in HP fandom LJ land and I've actually met two of them in person. I can't imagine someone trying to pull off that type of lie. What a waste.
