Yeah, Slobbit mentioned the same thing about the group that gave her the cold shoulder for having a bisexual character. Oddly, reading her drafts, getting away from that group has let her really muscle her way in deeper to Yoshi (although if he doesn't take over the story, I'd be very, very surprised...some characters do!). I can still be thrown into mildly cranky spastic fits by mention of Teh Gey Card, like that damn reviewer on FM. Thanks, bitch. Sheesh.
Thing is, I'm not really sure my boys are rude in the classic sense. I guess they're more rude in that they really don't give a damn what the rest of the world thinks of them. Was it Mellencamp's lyrics? Yeah. "I do things my way and I pay a high price." Oddly, the rest of the world does tend to see such independence as rude or uncultured, but if you're willing to pay the price...
I dunno. We all chase the oddest characters, don't we?
awww ;D
