BTG: March 2025 Discussion Thread

[ranger1rg]

So you're the only one here who knows "the way of the world"? That is ridiculous.

LOTS is wrong and so is SOME, because it implies there's a significant percentage of gay people who claim they're gay because they were molested.

The number is not zero, but the number is very low. You are not going to go unanswered when you attempt to pass off ignorance as fact.

MVJ is a rape survivor herself, so I don’t think she’ll tackle any sexual abuse storylines insensitively if that time ever comes.

Nevermind. I'm not going to argue because denial ain't just a river in Egypt.

[janea4old]

Thank you!

[Vanguardian53]

Ok so what's Martin's problem? I simply offered a theory. Does anyone have another? Instead of downplaying mine? Let's have it. This IS a discussion board after all.

@Contessa DonatellaThank you :).  I try.  

[Vee]

No. Be explicit about your beliefs so it's clear when we report you. Do you believe lots of gay men are turned gay by molestation, or that many gay people believe this? Which is it, because both are wrong.

[AmandainNC28655]

@Liberty City Thank you for the clarification.

[Antoyne]

Thank you for saying this. I’m a black gay man with tons of other gay friends. No one in my circle or even peripheral to the people I know have ever claimed to be gay because they were molested. This is harmful rhetoric to spread as “concern” for something that he has no basis to base it on. 

 

AWFUL

I love them so so much.

Ol drunk.

That's what I want! I want them to take her all the way down to the gutter but then build her up. Not just make it a joke of her constantly lashing out at Bill and Haley.

[AmandainNC28655]

@Cheap21  I do like your ideas minus Ashley dying.  I do think she could linger in a coma/on the edge of death for a few days and survive.  This could also delve into  her friendship with Naomi and Jacob, since it was Naomi's mom who caused the accident that killed Derek and severely injure Ashley. What if mobster Joey turned out to be her father, his vengance on Dani and perhaps the DuPree family might be interesting to see as well.

Yes, or even think they are sisters for a while.  Maybe even through in a little competiton for Tomas.

That's what Ron Carlivati does, makes things a joke.  He thinks he's clever.  I hope MVJ corrals/stops those tendencies.  Friday March 14 -- the basic story from MVJ was great but Carlivati's breakdown was too camp.

It's how I feel everyday watching her tbh

[Liberty City]

Very welcome.

Kat made herself look really childish with that "you're in my seat" stunt. Her suspicions about Eva are not wrong, but she's too worried about making fun of her clothes and feeling threatened by her presence than trying to find out what she's up to. Eva is pushing her buttons because she is figuring out how easy it is to set Kat off.

Hayley being ignored at the country club was hilarious. At one point I thought she was going to get loud, but she did have enough sense to just leave.

Naomi suing Bill would be quite a good story to watch. Of course it gives Bill another reason to engage with Dani because he was certainly blame her.

Bill has some decency. I liked how he told that creepy partner to back off talking about Kat.

Dani laying on the floor at the end was a perfect soap scene. It really is opening the door to how damaged she is and that her family doesn't know the extent.
