Arena cupcakeFollow

Love at first... euh... vent?

Lol, he is a nice guy and good player but he have funny expressions and i really don't feel like a "gladiator" around him. More like "la cage au folles".

So, can it be decided that Raw is now known as Cupcake?

That went without saying.

RAW's 10k title is going to be Cupcake.

Win.

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUPCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE!

I do have "*****" friends but nothing like this guy, but he is funny as hell. "We won cupcake!! We won!! Its sucks that Rogue don't have dresses.

I"ll get him to 2000 rating and tell him "it's not you, it's me"

So is being called "Cupcake" or "Silly goose" worse?

After a while you'll get used to it. My guild is full of gay boys and I <3 them. A couple of the guys in my raid group have the stereotypical femmy voice, but I think it's adorable, not funny. It makes me want to hug them.

Does a metrosexual friend count? I give my buddy advice on what 'product' to use - but I'm happily engaged to a female.

P.S. You guys should lotion before playing wow. Soft fingers glide across the keyboard for a faster touch than rough fingers.

You mean make people conform because certain closed-minded individuals can't handle the fact that they speak differently?

How could that possibly seem like a good idea?

Well, er, the OP was saying that he could barely concentrate on the match without rolling over in laughter at the strange voice.

Given that his voice (or manner of speech) was actively hindering their performance in the Arena, you'd think he'd think "Eh, maybe I should talk like a normal person at least while we do Arena" or something.

*shrugs*

If I talked in a manner that made it difficult for my teammates to function, I'd have more respect for my teammates than stubbornly persisting in doing something I know isn't very widely accepted.

Again -- nothing against gay people, but some gay people feel the need to constantly remind everyone around them that they are, in fact, gay. Intentionally talking like that is one such thing that is done to this end, I've noticed in some people.

Even I moderate the way I speak, and I've already noted that my worst isn't really that gay-sounding. The way I talk around my friends is very different from the way I talk around strangers. If I was doing something that required my undivided attention, like an arena match, I'd sound a hell of a lot gayer than I do when talking to the cashier at Au Bon Pain or in class.

[EDIT for clarification] When I'm with my friends, I don't have to watch how I speak at all. Gay, straight, male, female, whoever--I just don't worry about it. But when I'm in public, I end up trying to control my voice to sound more "normal." My normal state is not the way others consider it, because I spend time in a culture that has a different norm--it's somewhere between the two. I could make it gayer, too, if I wanted. The funny thing is that I never feel the need to do that--I'm not worried about being judged from the other side.

And, believe me, I know plenty of gays that couldn't force themselves to talk straight if they wanted to. There's nothing conscious about them "sounding gay," it's just the normal way they talk. Some might try to sound less gay if they are uncomfortable about being judged, but it's a far, far cry from what you would deem "normal" speech.

And the gay guys that used to come into your workplace really aren't a good sample.

Believe me, if a straight man lived in a gay neighborhood for five years (and actually interacted with the other people), he'd sound a hell of a lot more gay than he would otherwise, whether he liked it or not.
