Seriously, I should write a serious response to this, but I've neither the time nor the inclination right now.

There are times when it simply seems best to not even look.

[rm.livejournal.com]

offensiveness highlights include "slash is clearly fantasy because gay men don't do monogamy"

[bodlon.livejournal.com]

I made it 1:09 in and figured I'd best close the window lest I start formulating some sort of wild, flamey crazy thing.

[gairid.livejournal.com]

What a douche. One wonders if he ever bothered to speak to anyone who writes slash. By and for heterosexual women" Well, yeah, but what about the hordes of lesbians who write and enjoy slash?

[therealycats.livejournal.com]

And then there's the femme slash, and the het...I mean, erotic fanfiction goes far beyond straight women getting off on gay men. Oh, silly old men.

[ladyofthelog.livejournal.com]

I totally love it when old men tell us about what we ladies think!

[perlandria.livejournal.com]

It is such a mystery that our silly little minds are just too weak to self determine, doncha know.

[amand-r.livejournal.com]

What the shit is this? ::facepalm::

[saomigray.livejournal.com]

Did this guy just google a few things and run with it?

He clearly has no clue what he's talking about.

"It's nothing like real gay male sex is...?"

Because all gay male sex is the same?

*headdesk*

I only got about halfway through the video before I had to turn it off...it's such bullshit.

But I thank you for posting it, cause I found this one on the same page, and I loved it LOL http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wFzgA_sUP4&feature=related

I clearly have some issues of my own to work through because I saw the photograph of an old white guy, saw the description "anthropologist" and thought, "Nope, not a single thing you could possibly have to say on this subject will be either accurate or relevant, I'll pass." Evidently that was the right decision.

[therealycats.livejournal.com]

I actually do think a study of the psychology behind it would be interesting to read about, and I think an anthropologist would be a good one to do it, but this guy...well, he's trying, and I don't really think he's being intentionally derogatory in any way, but unfortunately he's missed the point of it. "By and for heterosexual women"--wrong. Maybe 40 years ago, but not today. He also says that gay male sex isn't monogamous, which unfortunately smacks of ignorance seeing as how there are couples of all pairings who are faithful to one partner, just as there are people of all sexes and orientations who sleep with multiple partners. And then there was the bit about anal sex being a substitute for vaginal intercourse.

[browneyedgirl65.livejournal.com]

Ha, ha, ha, I had exactly the same reaction! :-)

On extremely cursory glance, the comments on the youtube itself seemed to be pretty much taking him down for the right reasons...

[ladypeculiar.livejournal.com]

Was anyone else totally freaked out by the Dr. Zaius head in the background of the interview?

[therealycats.livejournal.com]

YES! I'm glad someone else caught that.

[therealycats.livejournal.com]

Aww, wook at da middle aged man twying to be hip by tawking about swash. Awww.

[shipchan.livejournal.com]

A middle aged straight man telling me why I read slash? Tell me more! Listen, you can be homophobic and wrong about your topic, but don't bring Dr. Zaius into it. He has nothing to do with this!

[therealycats.livejournal.com]

But what about the time he and Cornelius did it on the Statue of Liberty's crown?

[contrarywise]

Ye Gods... There's so much wrong there, I'm not sure where I'd start. Perhaps a_cj could set him straight (so to speak)...

[kel-reiley.livejournal.com]

he'd write some bitchin' fan fictions about him, maybe?

[marita-c.livejournal.com]

Pfffffft. Dude. He should be quiet. Right now.

Also, what's up with the mocking tone in "..the tube of lubricant which 'just happened to be' in the bedside table when it was needed..." ?

Was that supposed to be some funny slashy reference?

I mean... where else would you keep it...?

See, now I can't stop thinking that maybe I keep it there because reading too much slash fanfiction has made that seem logical.

No, not really. Hey! let's run a poll and try to guess where this guy keeps his lube!

[therealycats.livejournal.com]

I bet he keeps himself pre-lubricated in the hopes that some big bear leather daddy will be waiting for him just around the corner. :D

[sylvertongue.livejournal.com]

Hoyden About Town did a rather hilarious takedown of this. It made me feel a little better.

[berry-k.livejournal.com]

I admit, as a middle-aged straight man, I don't "get" slashfic, but, well, it's not *necessary" for me to get it. Y'all like it, fine, have fun.

I hope this comes off more "baffled but tolerant" than offensive.

[berry-k.livejournal.com]

And I just read Hoyden's takedown, and gosh, I'm not as ignorant as I thought. Even *I* could recognize most of what that douche said was BS.

Sheesh.

[eumelia.livejournal.com]

Feck, that really wasn't what I needed first thing in the morning!
Jeezuz!
There are lots of things wrong about hat video; by straight women for straight women - yeah, okay, haha! What aspect of female sexuality does this serve?! Yeah, it's called the freakin' brain! And gay men don't do monogamy?! What?! Excuse me, my friends (of every shade of queer and some not) and I will go to his house, tie him up, take that books and rewrite it in front of his eyes - I bet his ego would explode at the sight.

[coriander.livejournal.com]

This is so... off the mark! Good grief.

[gwyd.livejournal.com]

I'd read it if you did, but I don't think people with cracked out thinking would be listening.
