Ehr. But there are no homosexuals in D9, Scalli. ;]

Yeah, I know. It's just a kickass movie.

I read this one the other day and I almost fell off my perch cackling:

http://sluggy.com/comics/archives/daily/100204

If you're not familiar with the comic the context might not make sense, but "Stabatard" is referring to the Avatar movie.  The comic uses funny bogus names for most high profile products.  I do recommend reading the comic from the beginning if you've never seen it.  It's quite good, though quite lengthy now.

The irony of this is, in a sense it's correct.  Cameron just made a few billion dollars in sales to the general public on what could easily be construed as furry porn, and the public wholly embraced it.  The DVD copy, I have read, will actually have footage of the love scene that was not included in the theatrical release.  I suppose the segment of the population that hates furries is probably fuming at all of this, which I find horribly amusing.

Sadly, the furry fandom already knows this. Thankfully, I haven't seen anything that would make me rant up a storm about furries like I have with a bunch of other characters in the past...... yet.

That's OK.  Sometimes when I want to quote someone I accidentally hit "edit", and I have admin powers so I'd end up doing bad things to their posts by accident.  So far I've always caught myself before doing any damage though.  Slipgate - Surprised

I read that comic strip and I HOWLED Slipgate - Laugh

As for the deleted sex scene, all I can think of right now is that bit in The Lawnmower Man that everyone ranted and raved about back in the day. Thing is, here we are, nearly twenty years later and not much has changed, it seems...

Suddenly I can't help but think that maybe, maybe some people think minor, non-sexual nudity is worse than the combined gore of every show, movie, and game from the last decade.

Well, in regards to the Sluggy Freelance comic, it makes fun of all sorts of stuff that's popular at any given moment.  Everything from Harry Potter to Buffy the Vampire Slayer has been made fun of in this comic, so it's pretty much a light-hearted jab.

I did not find anything I'd consider to be offensive in the movie myself.  I have seen criticisms from the right (anti-military, anti-capitalist, pro-ecoterrorism, etc) to the left (racism, as usual) and all of these fall flat.
