It's been quite a while since I've posted anything here, and I suppose I owe a bit of an apology for my blogger slackdom. So, apologies, all around.
There's been a lot going on. I've been the voice of a new ad campaign, booking lots of anime hours, going through some weird shit with trying to figure out exactly what's happened to the MOST IRRESPONSIBLE Anime Distribution Company in the world(!) ( not FUNimation), and rehearsing The Rocky Horror Show, while also maintaining hours at The Hobby Center Box Office, especially with new seasons going on sale, not to mention individual ticket sales for Grease and Mary Poppins causing mild panic. That, along with my eLearning software gig and trying to keep up my spiritual practices has left me littlo-to no time for blogging.
But there have been some things on my mind, you can be sure.
The main thing that's really been grinding my gears, sticking in my craw, and any other clever little expression you can think of for "getting on ones nerves" is the preponderance of the Fruit Fly, or Fruit Bat, as they have been deemed by New Millennial Pop Culture.
For those of you not familiar with the moniker, a Fruit Fly is a "straight" dude who dresses and acts very femmish, or extremely metrosexual, and loves to flirt and hang around with gay dudes so that he himself can get play from girls who fawn over gay dudes themselves, OR they just want the attention of gay guys because they feel it gives them some kind of arty cred or some dumb shit like that.
In general, I don't have a huge problem with guys like this. I mean, come on, I'd rather have THEM around than fag-bashing homophobes. But let me tell you something.
DON'T FUCKING FLIRT WITH ME IF YOU'RE STRAIGHT! GOT IT?
In fact, if you're a fruit fly and reading this, and ESPECIALLY if you plan to meet me at a con,
1. Don't proposition me
2. Don't flirt with me
3. Don't act like you want me in your pants or vice versa because you think I can "get you in the biz". I most likely can't, and you can be damn sure that if you fuck with my head, I WON'T!
Just because I'm gay, and you think it's maybe some sort of novelty, that doesn't mean you get to exploit my sexuality or make it the punchline to your every passive/aggressive "open-minded" straight boy joke!
got it?
Good.
Any questions, just leave them in the comments.
I'm pissed now.
Be back later.
xoxo,
Chris

I know a few of those Fruit Flies. D: They are as annoying as you say they are too! >3< I would always find them lurking around in high school... Annoying the shit outta me and my friends, especially my gay friends. >: They dont like the Fuit Fly's behavior AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteAnd good luck to you on that busy schedule of yours! It seems like your whole day is booked night and day! oAo
First of all, I just want to say you're a badass for being so totally busy and awesome.
ReplyDeleteSecond; you're a badass, just because you let people know what's on your mind and have no reservations about being honest.
Go you.
Love,

Let's see if this will let me post now...I had not heard of said moniker, but why would a straight guy do that? Because he is not confident in himself to get girls? *shrugs* It's hard enough being yourself in this world because everyone wants you to be "this" or "that" and when you act the way you want, they try to make you feel bad about it. So yeah, you don't bite your tongue when speaking your mind. Those guys are just plain stupid. And to try and hit on you when they're not even remotely interested in you as a person?! (besides trying to lie to you about who they want you to think they are) *rolls eyes*
ReplyDelete*hugs*
Sara - hopefully this goes through
Yeah, I think it's pretty shitty that some people will stoop as low as that to get women. It's pretty fucking rude and says a lot about said fruit fly. It's not only demeaning to you, but it's fake and creepy to boot. I'd be half tempted to kindly tell the man to fuck off for the sheer fact that he's doing it in the first place.
ReplyDeleteStanding up for yourself is nothing to be ashamed about, especially when people try to exploit you for the most trivial things. Keep standing tall and you'll do fine.
