This is the one post leading to the first mass banning episode of webdip history.

There are two philosophical points here.

The first asks the question of whether the ability to do something means that you should. I suspect most people who have magical control over aspects of someone else wouldn't actually do anything, thus the resulting scenes are unchanged.

The second asks questions about the actual impact of sexual orientation. If I became bisexual, for instance, nothing would actually change in my life. I wouldn't start dating other blokes anymore than I would date other women now. A bisexual Octavious wouldn't be in any observable way different to a straight Octavious, or indeed a pansexual Octavious... Although there was a set of six copper bottoms that could be placed in an oven up to 180 degrees that were a bit special...

Is this your way of indicating interest Jamiet? Here's a picture of me. Post yours and maybe something will spark.

I can't believe you actually revealed a picture of yourself.

I have so many ideas for touching or sad or funny stories and all of them would be far too creepy to write about some guy I've never met, except for maybe the happily-ever-after one but probably even that one too.

Do it.

I'll write with you, if I see one up.

Someone link the fanfiction Maniac wrote on the old forum. It seems relevant

You wouldn't. It takes all the fun out of diplomacy

I can't. They all depended on him being a rugged Midwestern blue-collar worker at a factory. Now that he posted his picture on another thread it's clear that's not true so I've lost all inspiration to write it. Sorry

I would change Flum's sexual orientation to 100% "Ezisexual". I would then flirt with him incessantly in games of survivor and diplomacy while using him as a tool to further my objectives.
Then we would meet up, get married, and live happily ever after on our Canadian farm while playing games every opportunity.

Flum wants me to let you know that "I don't want to sound vain so I'm not saying it, but could someone clarify that picture is 10 years old, and I work in the oil sand facilities doing blue collar work and I'm unshaven"

I’ve gone hiking with Flum before, and can confirm he’s a rugged member of the proletariat that would make the Bolshevik’s swoon.

Whoops I don't think that's what I was supposed to say. What I actually meant is that picture is 10 year olds, and flum works in the oil sand facilities doing blue collar work (he's an engineer) and also he's unshaven, so you can totally write your fanfiction!

Shush. It's all your responsibility, so now bask in the admiration of strangers on the internet writing terribly revealing details on your various non-existent love life escapades :)
