[quote]I think if you put your heritage or gender in your username, you're more likely to get extra attention, positive and negative.[/quote] Okay, I apologize that my mother and father gave me a feminine name. Why can a male user use their own name, but I cannot? Right, because people go ape shit over girls... and this is my fault, [i]because..[/i]? Why should I be bothered that people view me as a female, I am, so doesn't that only seem right? It's apart of who I am. Why should I come on here and have to hide my gender because other people can't handle it? By your logic we should all just hide who we are if we could possibly get bullied for it. Nobody here should mention they're native america. If they do, they deserve to hear racist remarks. If someone states they're homosexual, people have the right to harass them. They should pretend to be straight! Sure, when doing these things we're putting ourselves out there, and there's always a risk to doing so, but that doesn't justify people being bullies. It doesn't justify the fact they're insulting people for things they cannot help. [quote]So she does all these things, then complains she's getting the wrong kind of attention? It's like a black man going to a KKK rally not expecting trouble. There are creeps on the internet, and it's a hell of a lot easier for them to be creepy if you get rid of your anonymity. Because she doesn't just say she's a girl and be done with it, she does much more because she likes the positive attention.[/quote] Can you please link me something I may have said or posted (besides this thread of course, because I already knew what to expect when making this) where I have been "asking" to be harassed, and double standards do not count, so you can't say "because you posted a picture!" because tons of other male members do, and I'm pretty sure they're not "asking" to be insulted. [quote]flirted with various members.[/quote] *Sigh* I wish people weren't so ignorant to make such bold accusations. This is how rumors start, and why so may people make false assumptions towards me. I have never flirted with any members on here. Been polite perhaps but that's because I'm a polite person. However I have never had a conversation with someone here where I was intentionally trying to "flirt" or impress them sexually. I have a boyfriend I'm really serious about, and I have no intention of having an "online fling" in the mean time, anyone who actually got to know me on here, knows this very well. Honestly, I haven't even been attracted to someone on this site in that way to even do so.
