The Mana World Forums

I saw this player the other day and couldn't stop myself from taking a screenshot. Now, because i don't want to be picky about every little thing, i chose not to put this in the abuse forum, because i wanted to know your opinion first. Also, if you really couldn't care less, there's an option for that too.

Gays are cool. Sex is cool. Sorcerors are cool. Gay sex is awesome. Thus my firmest belief is that a gay sex sorceror must be cooly awesome and/or awesomely cool.

No, I haven’t taken any offense. Yes, I did laugh out loud when I saw this player the first time.

Well the name may have been meant in a derrogative manner or it may have not, but personally I fail to see the stupidity or offensiveness of it. There are other character names I have seen which I personally may find a bit strange, but not this one.

/me tips a Top Hat to the GaySexSorcerer for an inventive name!

I agree. There's nothing inherently offensive about the name, unless you consider gay sex to be inherently offensive, and if you do, a lot of people will be offended by that instead.

Hi,

Stupid? No. It's not particularly deep a name, but there's nothing stupid about it.
Offensive? I do realise that the term `sorcerer' is often associated with dark or evil magic, but there is nothing inherently wrong with that in a fantasy game. (Or were you somehow associating `gay' or `sex' with something offensive? No, unlikely.)
Indifferent? I'm actually a bit amused, but I guess that this is the next-best option.

Personally, i'm neither offended or do i think it's stupid, hence the option for indifference. I just wanted opinions, and as i look at the poll, i can see that some one was indeed offended.

I'm not trying to make any points, or by any means do i mean to make any derrogatory remarks about sexual orientations, i'm just trying to see where some people will draw the line on this matter, that's all. I think it's the curious cat in me...

Lolcats are stupid. Especially Rotonen's. I like the name.

What is wrong with gay sex hmm?

Regards.

i think its more derogative to the magic system than us
even if it was derogative how many of us where picked on for our ''choices'' to quote l
people who dont like gays will always be everywhere
its up to us to dont enter in their games stop that stupid hate circle
how could i ask respect for my sexual orientation if i dont respect their hate or fear first

both edits i just waked up and wanted to preview but i cliked submit insted of preview twice :S

A lot of schools of occultism, mysticism and spiritualism consider sexuality a powerful source of magical energy (when that's true I am wondering why I can't shoot lightning yet ).

Why should homosexuality not have the same effect as heterosexuality?

But nevertheless we should not forget that there are also children playing the mana world - children of conservative parents who don't want to confront them with sexuality and certainly not homosexuality.

You're gay?

nope, i am heterosexual, but thanks for asking.

This thread grew ridiculous enough for me to state I occasionally shoot lightning from my fingertips.

Usually this occurs when touching something metallic while wearing something fluffy.
