That light pits, used to hold ships in place, are filled with complex electronic equipment, have no safety boundaries, and are lit with a dim blue light when not in use? (The Burning Life p. 77)

Can we all just agree at least that "Space Lesbian" is an utterly stupid meme and we should work as a community to stop using it? Its crap. I understand the stereotypical bad roleplayer that you're attempting to call out with it, but there are better ways that don't marginalize all lesbian characters or make lesbian players feel uncomfortable about playing their own orientations.

On this you and I can certainly agree.

See, you've got to make use of the shift key, to make it clear, Jade. "Space Lesbians", not space lesbians. Don't want to confuse Space Lesbians with lesbians in space...

Am I the only one who's reminded of this, suddenly?
Sure sure, we're taking the piss out of S P A C E  L E S B I A N S
Not SERIOUS SPACE LESBIANS OR LESBIANS IN SPACE which are quite different things... clearly.

Though I think I'd like another term to describe SPACE RELATIONSHIPS with men playing women and women playing pretend lesbians while actually both parts are kinda hetro though the chap is dressing up like a lady and the women pretends she doesn't know. Is there a word for that?

Awkward.

e/ Oh god you marqueed it. Take me now.

[mod]I had originally just snipped a couple posts off of this thread, but reading back it pretty clearly went off the rails before that. Assigning motives to other posters and making assumptions about the validity of the RP is generally pretty off-limits. Locked.[/mod]
