Actually, I thougth you were funny as a wordsmith (winkiedom!), but if you prefer to be funny as a gay man, go for it.
Well, weirdly enough, I wasn't trying to be any kind of funny there. I was attempting to signal (without oversignalling, which is what I've just crossed over into now) my faint disquiet about being identified as one of the two giggly, chucklesome people who'd fill our notional Sex forum with oo-er puns. I'm not entirely sure why, exactly, this light-hearted assertion bothers me slightly: I mean, I do generate innuendo an' all, as does Xoc.
I think it tickles my snark reflex because it seems - to my possibly sensitised palate - to tap into that whole stereotypical thing of "oh, those gays! all they think about is sex and cocks! they're a laugh, though, eh?" Which may not be terribly fair, because sometimes I jocularly refer to that trope. Seems a bit... I dunno, a bit much when someone else does the referring for me.
Probably overreacting. Bleh. |
