Hey everyone, this is just a note on something I've noticed a lot around the guild.
I understand that this is a guild with a very substantial female population, and that we can be a little girl-dominated. However, being the majority, being homosexual, etc. does not give you an excuse to express offensive opinions toward males as a whole. It's just fine if guys aren't your thing, but there's no need to go around calling them pigs, because they're not all bad--just as not all girls are whores, despite stereotypes.
I don't think anyone means any harm by this, but it is makes male members feel very uncomfortable and creates an unwelcoming environment. I want this to be a safe space for yuri fans first--and that includes males as well as females.
So, please be aware of what you're posting and do your best to be fair and nondiscriminatory.

I have never discriminated against anyone. I like to see the diverse people in the guild. It gives it more variety to guild and different opinions. I'm sorry if it ever seemed that I did discriminate but, I didn't mean to on purpose.

Shiny71289 I have never discriminated against anyone. I like to see the diverse people in the guild. It gives it more variety to guild and different opinions. I'm sorry if it ever seemed that I did discriminate but, I didn't mean to on purpose. Oh, I'm not singling anyone out--I think everyone slips up now and then, and the vast majority of us don't mean to be rude when we're expressing our opinions, but I feel like I need to address this because it is a problem we have here. I like a lot of our guy members a lot and I really don't want them to feel unwelcome or hurt, so this is just a reminder to everyone. :]
But, thanks for your opinion!

But, thanks for your opinion!I apologized shortly after I had said what I said. I feel bad when I know I might have hurt someone's feelings...Shiny is kind hearted and has one hell of a big heart that people like to hurt that's something I can't change...

Damn, poor guys, hope none of 'em got their feel---
Hey, wait, I'm a guy! D:
Yeah, see, I like being a male. Admittedly, I kinda have to, but we're not all bad! I mean, I treat girls with respect, and I'd like to be treated the same way!
Whatever, though. Just keep cool with us, alright, sweet hearts? >_>

Oh, I know what you mean. I feel really, really uncomfortable with that stuff. Probably why I don't like the GSA heads too much...I also get pretty mad, and I do big rants to myself whenever it happens. It's almost impossible to stop stereotypes and discrimination, though. It exists for race, it exists for genders, it exists for nearly every social group in the world. As much as we hate it, there is always going to be someone like that...
Still, it's nice to know that people like Kage and Winget and company aren't like that. Makes me feel safer. So, thanks.

I didn't even know that this was happening. (The fate of a lurker, I guess?)
I guess I missed it, and I'm sorry if I discriminated against anyone.

Oh I appologize if anything I said about males bothered anyone. I did not mean any harm. I was just expressing my love for girls over males as a whole. I don't hate men by any means and have no desire to hurt anyone. If I made it seem that way I'm really sorry.

There was discriminations going on? *must pay more attention and get online more often...*
I love my Guy-friends, they're the only ones strong enough to catch me when I glomp them whee
Seriously though, most guys are great and from what I've seen of the guys in this guild they are too biggrin
And any guy who can openly admit he likes Yuri goes up about a thousand points on my respect-o-meter 3nodding

-Bows to kageling.-
I saw it a few times. I won't point any fingers.
I mean. Think about it. Any guy that likes celebrates girl love, truthfully and not in a perverted way, must have some redeeming qualities that most don't, eh?
The reason I'm ambi's because that neither sex is perfect, but both are beautiful and are capable of an actual, meaningful relationship that's more about love than anything.
Both sexes have their "really bad eggs". Captain Jack ftw!

-_- I tend to be defensive towards guys (defensive, but not rude) in situations like this kinda.. 'meant for women' type places... but it's because I've had quite a bit of experience with guys thinking the only reason I'm with a woman is to ultimately be with guys.
