It has nothing to do with being gay... I already addressed that in an earlier post...
At a young age, "gay" is expressed as gender identity. This has everything to do with being gay, and homophobia. You can "address it in a prior post" 6 ways to Sunday....it has to do with gender identity and sexuality. Or, that is the fear.
You say, "Nothing good can come of it." What do you mean by that? That something bad will come of it? Do you really think that it won't create any positive outcome?
You can speak from both sides of your mouth if you wish. But it doesn't change the fact that this thread is rooted in homophobic fears.

It means just as you read it, I could care less what people do for enjoyment. However I don't believe in all the glamourizing and recruiting. It's my opinion, like it or not.

Well you are free to your opinion...
While it is my opinion that dressing a young boy like a young girl isn't something I would want my child being taught... I have no issue with gay people what so ever... but you think whatever you like
Sound good?
Thanks for your replies

If only we could get a ATS D&D game going
I often played female characters, challenging to roleplay especially when my gal had a 18 charisma and all my pals wanted to get in her pants

You just want people to shut up about being what they are unless it happens to conform with the ideals you have set aside as worthy of praise, right? I wonder if you also feel the same way about all of the Jesusing that goes on daily in popular media, because.. man is there a LOT of it...
IF I had a son... I would not want him watching this show...

The message seems to be that if a boy wants to be a super hero, he must first become a girl.
I spent some time a few years ago with a 19 year old girl who had 3 children, 2 girls and a boy.
She admitted that she really hated boys. Males, to her were crap until they reached maturity.
The boy was often heard to ask the question, "Mom, when do I get to be a girl?"
So yeah, as much as gender equality should be presented as positive, the idea of compensating for a historical imbalance is noxious in my opinion.

Already got it and tomorrow it goes from beta to live
Not really an rp game, more action RP but you can make your own adventures. But is far from roleplaying If you get my drift.
Based on the new edition of D&D which is catering for world of warcraft players....I mean no alignment? you can not play a chaotic evil dude anymore...pfft. 2nd edition all the wayedit on 19-6-2013 by boymonkey74 because: (no reason given)

I'm sick of people comparing Bugs Bunny to this new cartoon. For starters, cross dressing wasn't a wide spread "fad" like it is now. Hence, it was for comedy purposes. Secondly, he does it to ESCAPE. Not to transform himself into a girl for the hell of it, or to fight crime.
Children which are the target audience for this cartoon don't even know what they want yet. They have no clue about sexuality. (For the most part.) How about we just have guys that are guys and girls that are girls? I mean, seriously. Why is it all of a sudden so "wrong" to be what we are born as?
My post was a response to the OPs conversation with another member about Bugs, I didn't bring it up.

He doesn't do it to escape, he does it because it's funny to trick his adversaries.
.... it was for comedy purposes. Secondly, he does it to ESCAPE.
I don't think it is wrong to be what we are born as. I don't think the cartoon in question is trying to recruit young boys to be something other that what they are, maybe it's aimed at showing young boys who want to be feminine that it's okay, that they can be a super hero also.
Why is it all of a sudden so "wrong" to be what we are born as?
