I'm glad I was born a normal straight instead of a really fucking fragile straight.

The thing about being straight is that it's really easy to get bent out of shape apparently.

Must be those bloodbenders

I theorize that the fragile straights aren't actually straight. Which I assume is what the developer is poking fun at with the quotation marks.

Our social default is still to assume that most people are straight. It doesn't make sense for a straight person to have a driving need to prove that they are straight ... unless they think someone would have a good reason to put them into a "non-straight" category.

This reminds me of my friend. "I'm so gay I'm not even straight-up gay. I'm gay-up gay."

When it's a chat game, I guess titles for your character are considered content.

lol they're gonna be so damned salty about this.

Is that uh... Is that a lot?

This is fuckin dumb one way or another but if 10,000 fishbucks is a lot factors in a fair amount.

Did you read the article? It says the other purchasable titles are 75 fish bucks.
