are U a straight white male

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

ilx obvs more white male than USA population in general (tho its a world wide board) not sure re the straight part

what I'd really like to know are the demographics of etsy and pinterest

Go start a poll over there then.

Thread is p weird/gross tbh

Awesome iconic longtime poster just boils over in peak frustration and quits and the procession of "SWM here, look at me, arent we the worst?" posts doesn't so much as even hiccup...

Ilx would def benefit from more diversity.

Also drugs a money otm i hate this thread.

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.

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