are U a straight white male

Question is, where's the option for slightly deviant ethnically-complex-but-basically-white gendercurious males

i also have total confidence in every situation

Sigh.

the world will never be what you wish it to be

flawed methodology. doesn't account for differences between active posters and lurkers.

i had actually gotten to a good place with this board where i could dial back my involvement in it and still enjoy it at arm's length, but i think even that's too much for me now. i've been here in one form or another since 2002 but it's almost never as rewarding as i hope it will be and it's been a deeply hostile place a lot of times. bye.

Define all three of those adjectives and then we can talk

will be sad to see you go, get bent

Kerr will be having kittens over another ILXor departing...

not enough women in this thread

Even less now.

sorry gb, thought this thread was intended to be silly not hostile

need more of a class-based analysis imo

I'm a white male btw

Not a particularly successful one--I'm pretty good at being white--but yes.

Yeah, I tend to stay out of the sun so I am pretty damn white tbh.

poor white irish how's that rank

No "go fuck yourself for asking" option?

I am a straight, white male, and I'm becoming increasingly aware that straight, white males are the one demographic I might have an insurmountable prejudice against. It's complicated.

Hey, at least you're on trend.

Are jews white

"are U a straight white male" - one way to answer this is to say that U is a letter, and is singular. So the question might be better as "Is the letter U a straight white male?" And the answer would be no. Because it is a part of the alphabet.

The alphabet should really include some straight white males.

I'm lucky enough to be both white and to have been racially abused as a child for being insufficiently white, best of both worlds. And I'm a straight man.

u is phoenician iirc and is both protuberance and indentation, a letter for 2015 imo

I am not white, mostly straight, and cis male

much as people complain abou ilx being all straight white males I do feel like most of the people I interact with here are not straight white males

cool japes guys, clap clap clap

Told my conservative coworker he was cis the other day. After he googled it, he took it like I had told him his epidermis was showing.

cishet white man here, casually rooting against my people

SWM here. And yes. Everything is my fault.

thought this thread was intended to be silly not hostile

Hello, let me introduce you to ilx.

I don't think it has to be silly or hostile. I'm interested in seeing the results of this poll.

same

ilx2015 is as cuddlestein as it's ever been, so calling it "hostile" is pretty bewildering

I think spinning this poll off the Runaways thread was pretty stupid.

See I assumed the point of this thread was to take an extremely idiotic conversation about ilx demographics and the dreadful assumptions ppl were making away from the serious conversation about rape that was being derailed

Yeah, well, there you go, that's another way of looking at it! You're a half full kinda guy obv... you are a guy?

lol

go fuck yourself for asking! nah jk I'm a guy

you are just kidding that you are a guy?

Is the OP asking about a JO sesh? cause I'm down brah.

Feel like the % of confirmed* SWM posting itt already beginning to vindicate the DREADFUL ASSUMPTIONS ppl were making in that other thread

*acknowledging that I do not know the identities of everyone, and not trying to disappear the confirmed non-SWM itt (aside from me), and feeling confident the asterisk disclaimer strategy will work yeah :-)

this might be a poll where the votes count less than who makes the most noise in the runup

also what good would anyone think was going to come out of this thread really now

i'm going to state the obvious: yes, it would be entertaining to know if ILX really does conform to this stereotype. (2/3 here, btw)

yes, it would be entertaining to know if ILX really does conform to this stereotype

yes, we may safely assume that internet polls are always entirely accurate

i thought this thread was to identify all the swms so ppl could know whose posts they could ignore/call out without feeling bad about it. seems to serve the public good.

runaways thread was one of those i type+delete like 10 bathetic-seeming posts a day in before ultimately posting nothing, but i did stop by this one for one of the glib jokes i am more confident with, which i came pretty quickly to regret: a swm story

at swm two stories

If you don't swm in your regrets you'll drown in them, said the straight white male, checking his privilege.

a strait wite stopped posting, rip

i forget... is straight where the boy likes the boy?

it's the one where Everybody Loves Raymond

runaways thread was one of those i type+delete like 10 bathetic-seeming posts a day in before ultimately posting nothing

I ultimately wish I had decided on this course of action

IRL, when I'm OOC:

*tries to rise above stereotypes and stay aware of otherwise invisible privileges*
*gives those privileges to others when in a position to do so*

also, what is the definition of straight here? Straight-passing, I'm assuming?

I'm a straight white hope

I'm a sweet straightsvestite from straightsexual straightsylvania

i think it's funny that in the 60s straight meant dork

I think it was more like normal/square. Not necessarily "dork" but not into drugs and counterculture and such.

Eh, sounds about right.

Capt of HS football team who went on to work in a bank would be "straight" though not necessarily a dork.

sounds like a dork to me

*noogies you*

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

true story: spotify put the song "i'm straight" on my discover weekly playlist this morning

did everyone vote yet

xp I just got my first discover playlist. It wasn't terrible, a little too on the nose though.

I listen to enough joni mitchell that it should know not to put a joni mitchell song on my "discover" playlist

yeah, i was already familiar with most of the songs they put on mine but not all of them. i think it's cool we get a new one every week.

true story: spotify put the song "i'm straight" on my discover weekly playlist this morning

:)

I'm a white male who has been in bed with another man once in the last five or six years. So, yes.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Possibly the most popular poll ever? Weird.

i was just trying to vote for "come again"

gross

ILX = 63% SWM.

Possibly the most popular poll ever

184 people contributed to the perfect punchline, kudos
