Homosexuality and DDR

Get up to 200 lbs of muscle......... they'll be pretty intimidated then! Seriously tho, just ignore em, they're probably doin just cuz they're to insecure with themselves to try it out, for fear of actually looking a little stupid their first time. The first piece or two of advice were probably the best. Offer to let them play, mebbe even to pay for em. Chances are, they'll run off. And if they don't, who knows, maybe you've managed to get another person to get hooked into this little cult of ours!

Its all lack of knowledge. People get scared when they see new things, or here, and ther first thing they want to do is get rid of it somehow. Its human retardedness..

Just ignore. They're idiots who are mad because you can do something they can't. And they know this so they get a kick out of putting other people down to make themselves feel better. Just plain dumb.

I have never been called gay at all and I have stripped on ddr at hyperspace, and also worn nothing but a toga made out of paper towels(i sweat alot). But im 6'2 muscular so most bigots assume im either straight or would not mess with me for fear of a confrontation. If someone seriously persecutes you for your gender preference by all means feel free to glock em down.

well, i'm gay, but no one's ever made fun of me for playing DDR... usually they're impressed.
it's not really like dancing, anyway. it's more like "Stompin' to the Beat" if you will

Meh, some stupid guys thinks that if you don't shoot stuff and there's no blood in a game, it's not really a game... so what do you think they'll say about a dancing game?

Actually I know a bunch of gay persons in the ddr community, but it's the same thing in real life

Maybe the ratio is a bit higher though, because all the big macho guys don't play "cigarette's game" like they call it.

Btw, show them PPP and they'll never say that DDR is gay ever again

once someone from my elementary school.. came up to the machine at the arcade and said everyone around it is gay.. or something along those lines... he was always a jerk but

well me being the queen of 5 minute later come backs.. i had a really nice comeback for him 5 minutes later..

i thought i should say to him, if he came back (he didnt so sad x.X) that its not my fault i get more girls than him, and the guys have more rythm than him (he was a percussionist back then.. but 10 to 1 odds hes "too good" for it now

None of the people who I play DDR with are gay. My arcade is almost all gothic. I don't care though. I've won their respect by playing ok. Anyway, the group that plays at my arcade or very close. If any one kid called anyone in our group a "queer", we'd be after them like a ash on misty

OMG I will never use a pokemon reference ever again...

I'm gay. I haven't been called a bundle of sticks or cigarette while playing DDR. They're usually impressed that my foot coordination is better than theirs.

Now, when I tell people I play DDR online, they call me homo/cigarette, etc because they think it's stupid...right.

Judging by pure statistics, all the really good DDR players are male.

DDR is not a girly game. People who call DDR players homos/fags are just asking for a kick in the groin. Don't be afraid to give it to them.

Once somebody called me gay, and though I'm straight, I took it as an insult to some of my homosexual friends. The best comeback is to play into it, especially if they start imitating you (dancing like an idiot), then you can say "wow that's awesome, I'm having a DDR party at my house, you should come (follow this up by giving the offender a big hug), they run like chicken after that.

Yep being called gay for playing DDR? Try being called an asian nerd having a seizure while doing excercise (i have in FACT been called that...). But yeah being called gay/lesbian/homosexual or anything else of the like is what's stupid. just because a smaller group of people have interests in people of the supposably "non-correstponding" sex doesn't make them any different. I have the uttermost respect for people who like men instead of women, or vis versa, it shows that they're not afraid to show how they feel. They're basically being prejudice to the smaller half of the community. just because one thing isn't as popular as another doesn't make it stupid. I mean, take this for example, let's say there by far way more women on earth then men, would that make men ubnormal/weird? If there were more pretty people on earth than the ugly, would the ugly be considered ubnormal/weird? Jeez, people need to stop judging people like that these days...it's pathetic.

3 ways to avoid torment by non ddr players at an arcade:

1) don't play any fruitier songs like bimp, candy, i do i do i do, or songs like those

2) play hard stuff and scare them away, possibly yell at them during freeze arrows like in max300

3) play the fruitiest songs you can think of, then on the final song play ecstasy and chase/kick/goatse them at the stop in the middle

Now, I am gay, and the DDR "scene" where I live doesn't have a lot, but we do have a small number of gay people who do play. Now the fact of the matter is, the hecklers who call you "gay" when you play probably don't really mean it. As they just think you're a retard for playing.

And while this might be a bad move for some people, the best way I've found to get rid of hecklers is to pull one of two stunts.

1 - If you're a REALLY good player, bust out with any of the MAX songs, and perhaps even Paranoia Survivor and Cartoon Heroes.

or 2 - Play the 3 fruitiest songs on the machine that you can find. That'll usually make them wander away, really fast. (suggestion for those who have 7th Mix: It's Raining Men, Little Boy (mainly because of the title) and So Fabulous. If it's an EXTREME, then It's Raining Men, Little Boy and something really sugary, like Love Love Shine.)

If all else fails, call the mangement on them. Works every time.

*Ignore any typos on this...I'm really tired and might have missed some.)

i'd say, "oh, well if DDR is a gay game, then i guess that means you're gayer than me, eh?"
