Past, I have to ask WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? If anything I have said implies homophobia in any way, I have to be told, because I was in no way going for anything negative. I used the word "flooded" because I was talking about a hypothetical situation where Yaoi was really popular. How you turned that into "You're a homophobe!" is beyond me.
Wow, your rage or whatever is extremely unfocused and misplaced. Last edited by YotaruVegeta on Mon Jun 04, 2012 9:27 pm; edited 1 time in total |

No, it sounds like saying if it sold in sufficient volume per title, then it would be raining BL, and complaints wouldn't have any impact on stemming the tide. Just as if, it series with female characters with large bosoms sharing the apparent physical attributes of water balloons sold iin sufficient volume per title, then we would be flooded with it. Obviously the volume per title required to increase the rate of production above what the Japanese market alone sustains would be a substantial step up from the volume required to get everything produced with an eye on the Japanese market ... but the same principle holds, its just a different amount of "enough" volume sales per title. |

Umm "flooded" with it?
Umm "raining BL?" 
These were words you two used If they're not huge generalizations then they are, in this case, inappropriate figures of speech that allows for huge variations in how something you've said is interpreted. So maybe I erred the side of what YOU thought I was implying (that I suggested you were a homophobe), which I didn't  notice how I used the word "if" in every sentence except the first one in that post?

Or else its normal language to talk about markets. A market being "flooded with" some product means there's a lot of that product. If someone said that an Android app market was "flooded with flashlight apps", how would you manage to take offense at that? |

No one here has a PhD in marketing! "Flood the market" is a common term you might hear if you read or hear business news. I- i'm not getting your point about "flood" or "rain." I'm very, very sorry, but whatever you concocted in your head that we were saying has an anti-gay connotation.
I think agila61 clarified my point very well. I was making a hypothetical statement about how gay content would sell well if it was trendy in the US. |
