Straightest Musicals — Page 3

Seriously, dude? You're asking what shows straight men like. That's not really appropriate, but beyond that, your answers will only be vague generalizations, which do not have a lot of truth when you want specifics.

People's taste are specific. You seem to have a lot of opinions, so if you're trying to pick a show for someone, tell them why you picked.

As an example, my boyfriend lives for baseball and college football. He likes movies with blood, guts, gore, and mass carnage. He likes Scotch, barbecuing stuff, and debates whether small dog is a 'real dog.'. His favorite show we've seen together lately was Violet. He just thought it was really well done.

You can't assume.

Stereotypes still run rampant in society. As a young person, you're the future. Work on getting them OUT of our culture.

"The problem is not the wording. Its the fact that you cannot hear the spirit in which it was said. "

The problem is not in our "hearing" of your question, but is rather your inability to transfer that spirit sufficiently and effectively into writing.

Manly men do not attend musicals. Nor do they eat quiche.

My sister Soul Cycled behind Jake. To hear her tell it, it was the greatest day of her life.

don't tell me that you've never heard anybody say something like "that is the gayest show ever."

So why is my question all of a sudden offensive when we talk about masculine boys

"that is the gayest show ever."

Yeah, that's pretty offensive to me, too.

"don't tell me that you've never heard anybody say something like "that is the gayest show ever."
So why is my question all of a sudden offensive when we talk about masculine boys"

So you're defending your derogatory question with another derogatory phrase?

Shows aren't "gay". They might have gay characters or actors in it, but shows do not experience sexual attraction.

Unless you use gay as an insult, in which case, seek help.

"jimmycurry, you are going in a completely different direction. I was talking about musicals for goodness sake"

No, you are misunderstanding what I am saying. I am saying that how you word everything you type makes a difference. People don't like you here because you fail to understand how to word what you are saying. Learn how to word what you have to say in a way that makes you sound like a reasonable, logical, and intelligent human being and you will find that people are willing to get along with you. Instead you go about calling people stupid, you offend as many as you can, and have become a troll. It seems that you only exist here to get a response. If you want to fix this, then you have some things to work on. If you don't, I believe you will find yourself blocked my the masses.

BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO PERPETUATE STEREOTYPES.

Why do we bother? It is clear (again) that you have no interest in learning/changing/admitting you may have erred.

"when i said "that was the gayest show ever" I actually remember when I was doing Xanadu and people said that because it is a gay show! Yes straight people LOVED it too, but i would consider that a gay show because of the music and dancing and drag and roller skating and girly-ness of the show! Yes i know there are masculine boys who hate musicals, and effeminate straight boys or whatever, but the reason i use stereotypes is because there is a lot of truth found is stereotypes whether you want to believe it or not! "

You are right, there is truth in stereotypes. Again, people would likely have carried out a lengthy conversation about this topic with you if you had asked the question in a reasonable fashion in the first place. Unfortunately, you didn't, and you refuse to attempt to solve that by simply restating your question in a manner that people don't find offensive, so this is what you get. Go ahead, wallow in the attention you are getting, it is probably what you were after in the first place.

Listen, fruitloop. Ya need to go.

If you had initially said something along the lines of , " While living on campus I noticed there is a stigma against musical theatre majors on campus. A lot of people view musical theatre as something gay. Why do you think this is and can you think of any shows that might change this preconception of musical theatre?" You would not have had to get around the question, you could have asked it head on and in a reasonable way that would have created an open dialogue on the topic without offending anybody. It is too late now, but in the future, just think about what you write before you write it.
