Lesbian does not equal man hater, which is why I never liked that the two most prominent darius_sedai Send a noteboard - 15/01/2013 12:05:15 AM
Man haters in the series were both actual lesbians and not just lonely girls with pillow friends. RJ did try to dig himself out of that a bit with women like Tarna and Pevara, but he too easily equated red Ajah, lesbianism and man hating into one package.

I don't disagree about Merise and her relationship with her warders, it i don't think Narishma needed to be gay to make the point you describe. No gay man would have let himself get caught up with a woman like her anyway ... Of course it would have been funny to find out Narishma wanted Merise to pass his bond to Emarin :P

That you're offended at gay people for having the temerity to exist is hilarious. Ghavrel - 13/01/2013 12:15:48 PM 972 Views
Nothing she said indicated that; she only objected to throwaway characters for the sake of gayness. Joel - 14/01/2013 06:01:36 PM 844 Views
Just like the Sea Folk having dark skin is tokenism. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/01/2013 07:33:15 AM 421 Views

Culture plays a role in how people see homosexuals, not in there being homosexuals darius_sedai - 15/01/2013 10:50:14 PM 870 Views
I didn't say anything about that. I said that culture plays a role in determining sexual expression. Ghavrel - 16/01/2013 02:17:45 AM 814 Views
I think we will have to agree to disagree ... People are born the way they are darius_sedai - 16/01/2013 04:21:33 AM 804 Views
