We all object to anything connected with the C64, it's the principle of the thing ;)
(Serious bit, Dave, I think Merman was being facetious, you were weren't you Merman? If not, you should realise that this topic is a joke and neither Shaun nor anyone else is objecting to the "gay" part.)
Find it weird though, mention aspergers and theres a huge thread about it and people dont want you to joke about the condition, reported posts etc,, say any jokes about someones colour and theres trouble, mention denied games and theres reported posts all over the place. However do lots of gay stereotype jokes and no one says a word !
Come on people, its like its the year 1950 with some peoples views/jokes !

alright graham norton. no offense intended. :-P
honestly though i think its a different kettle of fish being a straight man and taking the mick out of gays, cos as we know we might become one in later life.

Looking at your face book account I'm wondering if that has already happened to you. :p :lol:
The use of WTF in the thread title and Shaun's original post seem to suggest he has a problem with the group existing... to me, anyway. And I'm not gay, but I hate how the thread has been used to insinuate that Commodore users are gay.
I agree - most of the gay people on this forum will be laughing at the posts... I am happy to keep the thread open as long as nobody is offended. Remember there is a report post button though...

woah there hang on now, you're telling me that there are straights on this forum?
I mean I don't mind them and they take all the jokes in good nature but they do tend to show you up at Retro Events with their drab clothing.

No, the point was, why does there need to be an on-line Gay Commodore users forum, because retro computers have very little to do with one's sexual orientation.
It's not like a two player game is any more or less enjoyable when played with, or discussed with someone of a different orientation (unless of course the game is sex related).

It might simply just be a sub-group of Commodore user wanting to talk about their retro hobby.
Like if a group of florists were to get together and they'd want to chat about knitting EDIT or bakers who are into extreme mountain-hiking or lawyers who are into disc golf.

There doesn't "need" to be anything in the retroscene - judging from the description on the linked page, it's more of a social group based loosely on a common interest. Kinda like Chit Chat, but where gay people can get together. Why have a problem with it?

I dont. But at the same time it's not offensive to say WFT when you stumble on such a thing, just a bit odd, odd in a good way though. But still, the worlds come a long way since the 80's therefore there is no need to have a separate gay forum for the commodore, its just silly.
When Karingal was a lad, "gay" meant happy. It's meaning must have definitely changed now of course, otherwise "Gay C64 users group" would mean a group of people who were happy to use a C64, which is surely an oxymoron?

Gay doesn't even mean homosexual anymore, it means crap these days. So the group is actually implying that it's a crap C64 group which we all can relate to (I say relate to cos' I know there's commodians who'll rip into me if I say "agree with").
See this interesting time scale for the word gay
19th Century: Meaning happy.
20th Century: Meaning homosexual.
21st Century: Staple word for every annoying mddle class twat and America wannabe of the human race meaning crap, e.g. "I told you I don't like prawns man! This pizza is so gay!". Also see It Girl, Emo, Student Wanker, Cheesy Hippy, Poser, Indy Kid, and Posh Cunt.
There we go I think that ought to clear up any confusion :D

Aww, man! I didn't even catch that when I wrote it! :-o
For the record, nothing has been insinuated... It's been stated as FACT :p

It's no worse than the stereo type of the british straight male who drinks larger and likes football.
Karingal, you are always welcome to report a post, in particular EWGF's :razz:
Oh, you don't know which button that is? Oh, can't see it, lost yer specs? Deary me ... it's the one that looks like this
