I was reading a scientific journal recently and read a theory that a particular interest in, or long term exposure to comics about barbarians who wear loin clothes is the only connecting factor between Oscar Wilde, the gangster Lattlay Fottfoy, scary man Derren Brown, and Purple People Eater star Neil Patrick Harris. It went on to postulate that regularly reading comics such as Slaine might make you gay.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Any thoughts?
If it's worried about comics making people gay, the journal in question must've been Scientific American.
It's good to know that scientists dedicate themselves to such worthwhile research. :-*
Well, I don't like Slaine and my wife's up the duff.
I am non-Slaine, so heterosexual.
Well i always thought that Slaine seemed such a nice boy.
It has also been discovered that:
a)Injecting iodine into the eyes of kittens causes blindness
b)A goat thrown off a multi-storey carpark will suffer horrendous injuries or death.
c)Nailing testicles to a wall can be painful
d)Latent homophobia can manifest itself in many ways
e)It's no-one's business who consenting adults sleep with/what they read/watch or enjoy as pastimes.
f)The devil makes work for idle hands...

Fair point. Apologies for any offence. It's a joke about Slaine threads and not intended to be anything else.
It's hilarious to see Trout apologising for any offence caused to someone who goes by the name of 'Little Lord Fondleboy'!
I'm not offended. No-one needs to apologise to anyone. I think that pointless pseudo-science gets promoted by the Right quite regularly - that's what's offensive.
Examples:
a)Gays don't make good parents/soldiers/human beings
b)Single mothers are feckless
c)The unemployed are lazy and indolent
d)Black men are disproportionately dominant in US prisons, ergo black men are criminals, etc, etc
e)Watching G. Norton/L Grayson/J Inman/C Biggins turns you gay
f)Using 'Little Lord Fondleboy' as a name is offensive. (It means 'I'm a wanker' taking the piss out of myself)

Pseudo-science is pushed by the left equally as much as it is from the right.
You must be offended or at least feel strongly enough to misconstrue this thread as latent homophobia so much so that you post lists of examples.I dislike being preached to but i can only talk for myself.
Why the need for your Avatar Little Lord Fondleboy ?
Its not the best choice you could have made.

Deep down, you know the answer.
A few years ago, before I knew any better, I was reading Slaine and thinking "this is good, I bet there's a great payoff coming", and I think it was around that time I was thinking if I was the second-last man on Earth and there was only another fella around and no birds, then maybe. So I think the science here might be sound.
Second page...no Thryllseeker...somethings wrong.
I am not going to be offensive on behalf of anyone else except myself.
I am not Gay but i did give the matter some thought but it doesnt have any attraction at all but that might be because of latent homophobia perhaps ?
Is all Heterosexuality rooted in Homophobia ?

;D That's hilarious!! If I taught philosophy (if even knew how to
read philosophy) I'd give my class that one to think over. Maybe base a project on it.
That may not be far off - don't we often hate what we fear or don't understand. Most of the homophobes I've run into are ultra-macho guys, and when they make comments against gays, it's usually in a very angry and hate way. Why? No release? Jealous that others can be open about it? I don't know if homophobia leads to homosexuality, but I have to think the other way round might be true.
Anyway, I'll shut up now. This topic isn;t nearly as important as which hair products Slaine uses, or where he purchases his stylish loincloths.

So... homosexuality leads to homophobia? Eh?
Sorry if I wasn't clear (as if it matters, I suppose). I tend to think that many homophobes are people that can't come out of the closet - say because of a macho father, or a community that would be unaccepting - so without an understanding of certain feelings, it becomes "wrong" or "bad", and so they fixate on what's "wrong" and hate it.
But like I said, the more important thing is how Slaine keeps those fantastic spiky locks standing up even in the midst of battle.
This word "GAY", to me it means jolly or happy.

So you only go out with women who have smaller breasts than you as well?

I am not Gay but the amount of times in the past i have been asked if i am Gay by "ultra-macho guys" you would not believe because i dont fit into a typical male stereotype or act like one.I am big without being particularly macho but i am not effeminate particularly or at all but it confuses them and if you are different in any way to them then you *must* be Gay as it goes without saying.
This tends to happen a lot with males who are shall we say are from a certain social strata of society.
It makes me wonder how many of them are in the closet since they certainly seem to be obsessed with the subject.
This place is getting more like Craigslist every day.
I need to get a little yappy dog and take it for walks around the locality and my home is soooo badly in need of a makeover.Theres a new shop that has opened down the road and it has THE most gorgeous lampshades in the window.

It might have contributed to my un poppularity with the opposite sex. Actulley it was laort of geeky things I done in th eoast and stuill now that might also have contributed to my social standing with faier sex. Like reading comics in general, playing role playing games, computer games, collecting action fgures. Not playing enought sport, not being a particulally good dancer. On the other sie of the coin, I have also done alot that might have made me more favourable to the opposite sex.
I don't think it has made me gay,
'I don't feel gay while I reading Slaine. I feel Celtic reading Slaine. It makes feel like that should be a connection, a direct bllodline from me to the emerald island, if not Celtic roylty, or even Slaine himself. Though they say that anybody with Irish blood is Irish royalty. .
I don't feel gay looking at Slaine's body. It arouses the iamgination and curiosity about what he stands for. It's just picture, I might as well be looking at a photo of a muscle car, except I do have a interest in this.
Since I started reading Slaine, for the seocnd time. It has perked my interest in ancient civilisations,
Celtic myths, Alien dark gods, deities and stuff like that.Sorry, if the human interest quotient doesn't
attract my attention so much.

I don't think any Gay references should be soley directed at Slaine. Every body here
reads comics and for a long time there been this they have been associated with
worshipping heros wering skin tight suits that don't leave much to the imagination
Wether they be boys or girls looking up to Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wonder
woman, Black Cat, Isis. Don't just blame Slaine for this influencing our sexual pref
erences.
I wouldn't hold comcis respobcible for our sexual atttitudes at all. Although our tast in material might be a result of this attitude.
I sued to buy R.Crumb, Cherry Poptart, and occasionally thsoe other x-rated comcis.

Yeah, I was going to say that this topic is only related to Slaine by it's name tag really.
Slaine is only a label here.
On subject of hair products. Can you imagine putting LIME, HORSE DUNG, & BLOOd in your Hair.I can only imagine how damaging that might be. Perhaps the DUNG is okay, but very smelly. I guess it might be very earthy.Human DUNG toaday might alittle acidic, particually if comes form a modern person who being eating alot of chemical laden foods. and isn't LIME acidic as well.
Perhaps Slaine didn't do this as much, but it might expalin why other members of his tribe were suffering premature male pattern baldness.

QuoteBut like I said, the more important thing is how Slaine keeps those fantastic spiky locks standing up even in the midst of battle.
This reminds me of the time I decided to use a whole jar of hair gel belonging to a girl I knew to give somebody else a spikey punk hairdo.. When I was done, the whole jar was in his hair, it was spike by my twirling of segments of his hair into outward facing spirals. The only problem was that with alack or a blow dryer and that he wasn'rt hanging upside.gravity had the effect of making all the spikes curl downwards.
It did still lokk cool, I think he washed it all out of hair before he went to the pub.
Later on that night we all went to the local theatre to watfch the midnight premiere of 'Bram Strokers Dracula'
Those were the days.
I know that seems abit gay, but it's wasn't.
I think Celts like Slaine did their own hair.Perhaps he had trained the Knucker well to blow short bursts of heated air through it's nostrils on freshy spiked noggin without setting him alight. Perhaps after the Knucker was shot down he had to warp earth power through suspiciously gun shaped load stone aimed at his head. Creating the worlds fiirst cordless, hand held hair dryer.
