Chatterbox: Chirp at Cricket

I am getting

I am getting rid of my AEs, and seriously considering leaving. I have thought about this, and I would like everyone to know this. 

 

Go to http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/downtoearth/node/279460 for our decision on this issue. ~Admins

I heard about the controversy and I'm sorry that it happened. But there is definitely a clear argument...especially since I am strongly against the whole thing. Sometimes I close my eyes and wish all the arguments and quarrels and controversies in the world would just disappear. Then I open them. One of my brothers yells at me. I retaliate. Several scratches and bruises later, I wonder what the heck I was just thinking about...this happens several times a day :)

Well, if you remember DJ Bowtie, he suddenly decided he wanted a boyriend, everyone got mad, and I finnaly got to keep him.

I'm trying to be very careful in what I post. I don't think you'll be in any trouble.

ADMINs, I would like to thank you for replying to my post, as well as making sure no nasty comments were posted during the course of this horrible battle. Thank you for being here. Things could have gotten a lot worse.

 

Thank you, Gared, for being you!

Thank you so much for staying Gared! (otherwise, who would try to kill me in your ski lodge?)

I have not voiced my opinion on the whole DJ Bowtie discussion yet but it is fine by me if there is a (gay? transgender? not sure what to call it...) AE. You are totally right to write him however you want but i understand why some CBers might be uncomfortable with it. I have actually been considering making an AE like that for a while, though i still havent decided.

ok, thank you for your time

Bye!

I have not decided what to call DJ.

The most important thing here is: 

DJ IS GARED'S AE AND GARED SHOULD CHOOSE HOW TO WRITE HIM. DEAL WITH IT.

On the debate itself, all I will say is that I see zero valid reason to not allow DJ to have a boyfriend if Gared so chooses. Besides, it's a nice piece of diversity and there's already a transgender AE.

Actually, Gared, you've inspired me by having DJ Bowtie be... hmm not sure what to call it. Anyway, I feel in my heart that my AE, Sriracha has a crush on Nova. When I first decided that, people were upset, but seeing what you've done, I think Sriracha will like Nova again. It doesn't mean Nova will have to like her back, but... we'll see what happens with that.

I support you. 

P.S. Admins, with all due respect, please don't delete this thread. I tried to post this comment on the AE crush thread, and the thread was deleted.

I'm considering... 

Shifting as a lesbian? (Victorian society does not strkie me as LGBTQA+ friendly.)

So I'm quite willing to do that if anyone wants to.

Originally I gave Spyro a crush on Shifting, but I'm assuming he's gotten over it after her numerous absences.

Gared, he's your AE, do with him what you like.

Dolphin says "naif." Which subject am I being naive about, Dolphin? Maybe both. Shoot.
