Moustaches: Gay or Tough

herbie747 · 30-12-2003 3:36pm #1

NOTE: This does not apply to old people, or slick handlebar moustaches (e.g. Lemmy from Motorhead).

Do you consider a moustache to be GAY (like Freddie Mercury's moustache) or TOUGH (like a knacker-tache)?

Moustaches are general considered a gay stereotype.
It confuses me as to why scumbags/knackers all have taches (even the younger ones REEEALLY seem to want one ASAP), and what's the difference between knackers who have taches, and those who don't?

It has to be one of the following:
1) Scumbags don't know that a tache is a gay stereotype, because nobody ever had the guts to tell them to their face.
2) They like looking like fags.
3) They just don't care, because they'll just beat the crap out of anyone who calls them gay.

MrNuked · 30-12-2003 3:38pm

I just think they make people look like scumbags.
Especially bumfluff ones.
Maybe add that option.

herbie747 · 30-12-2003 3:40pm

I can't seem to change it. If a mod reads this, can you add the following option:

"I think people with moustaches look like knacker scum."

Also, does anyone here (under 40) have a standalone (i.e. not part of a beard or goatee) moustache, and why??

If a mod reads this I think you might get banned for silly polls

MrNuked · 30-12-2003 3:59pm

or possibly for the bigoted expressions/"hate words" but probably not because there's double standards about them.
Not taht I want to sound self righteous just making an observation.

Might is a very optimistic word to be using.

herbie747 · 30-12-2003 4:01pm

It's not a silly poll. It's a genuine question. If it's silly, then YOU give me a full explanation as to why gays, and scumbags (who generally hate gays) share the same feature - and it's almost an exclusive feature!!

Any mod who closes this down is obviously a dry sh*te. "Ooo, I'm so powerful, I think I'll censor someone for being a rudee!"

Stop being such a pompus tight-arse.
I'm stating FACT - mustaches ARE considered to be gay stereotypes. If you've never heard that before, then you obviously have never seen the Blue Oyster in Police Academy, or the Steel Mill in the Simpsons (or "John" from the Simpsons), or Big Gay Al from South Park.....the list goes on. I'm not slagging anyone, it's just a genuine query as to why scumbags with bumfluff taches want to copy such a stereotype. I mean, is that not a valid point??

Will you all stop being so boring, and just give your thoughts on it?

MrNuked · 30-12-2003 4:06pm

still don't understand why they censor shut shute and cant.

not to mention bubbles.

edit:
well they used to censor bubbles.

I guess I shouldn't have posted it on the gay activists board.....even though it's not even offensive to homo's in the slightest.

You seem to be very hung up on homosexuality.
Are you having some feelings that are causing confusion perhaps?

Big Chief · 30-12-2003 4:12pm

they look gay

knacker tashes just make you look like a adolescant muppet (as its more bum fluff than anything else really..)

and i mean any tash, i dont like any of them, they look ridicilous..

i wonder what they do for the clittoris area though when your 'down the road' so to speak..

any women care to elaborate on this? if they dont do anything then my only sole reason for why people "may" have them would be gone.. (i mean one of those big thick furry *looks like a dead hamster* tashes btw

i imagine they do nothing, but thought i would atleast make this topic slightly more intresting.. thats if the topic stays open long enough to find out.. (can we keep it open to hear this info anyway?

)

WOW, I've never read that on a forum before - that's so original. That's such a high-school bimbo comment: "Maybe it's because you're not comfortable with your own sexuality......ZING!!"

L4 · 30-12-2003 4:15pm

Mustaches are not fashionable anymore... end of story. People who have them should go back to 1989 and become an police officer in L.A.

Thanks Big Chief.
At least someone isn't too "offended" to comment properly.

If you want to see a cutting rebuttal, you should check out my posts that got me barred from the Rock/Metal board. I had Angelwhore crying like a little girl in front of everyone. It was classic. I slagged his big floppy girl tits, and called him Dr. teeth from the muppets (see below), and he got real freaked.

MrNuked · 30-12-2003 4:24pm

I'm not offended at all. I find you quite funny. Especially the way you manage to take offence at people's responses.

People who get wound up about nothing are funny

(and closet homosexuals)

Monty generally doesn't givea thumbs up to pointless polls, I believe theres a sticky at the top of the forum dealing explaining this. Maybe Monty will be full of post-Christmas cheer, but I'd be thinking 4 months ban for starters

herbie747 · 30-12-2003 4:41pm

But it's not a pointless poll.

I'm sure Monty is a decent guy, who understands a bit of humour. I would have posted it in the humour board, but I'm banned - and besides, it's not humour, it's a very serious issue/query.

BrianD3 · 30-12-2003 4:43pm

"Gay" 'taches are totally different to "knacker" 'taches. You'll never find a knacker with a bushy Freddie Mercury style 'tache.

I believe the bushy 'taches were originally favoured by gays in the San Francisco Bay Area then the look became fasionable among gays around the world.

So, why do scumbags grow the little bum fluff 'taches? Probably to show the world they've reached puberty and are therefore capable of giving someone a baytin and of gettin the roide off jacinta in the flat next door.

Similar to beards really - big bushy full face beards are grown by guys over the age of 40, real ale drinkers, eccentrics, academics, and trainspotters. Whereas goatee beards are grown by younger, poseur type guys who are trying (unsuccessfully) to look cool.

1. Dr Teeth is kewl, so you didn't really insult him you more complimented him.
2. If you being hung up on homosexuality has been mentioned on other forums before maybe you should start catching yourself on and realising that yes it probably is something you need to take a look at...
3. You're a twat......nothing more nothing less.

As for the topic - see reference to moustache + small amount of chin hair to even it out...You Trying to get crazy with me? Don't you know i'm loco??!

I h8 these stereotypes.

I have grown a full bushy beard a few times, but it's because I cba to shave!! I'm not over 40, and I drink bitter....and tequila. I'm no longer academic, but a little eccentric....

I have also when not in a full beard kept a goatee. I'm not a poser though i'm just beautiful, and my looking cool or lack there of is not a result of a failed goatee

I laugh at knacker taches, omg why would you think you look better with that thing on your face than if you just shaved the ugly thing off!? Beards are tolerable but only on some people... Mostly black people...

BTW Everytime someone puts up a poll a hoard of ****wits storm in to call it a pointless poll. I wouldn't call this pointless at all. TBH Let monty decide and stfu.

MrNuked · 30-12-2003 5:43pm

You must get in a lot of fights if you laugh at sumbags' taches, Kold :rolleyes:

leonotron · 30-12-2003 6:27pm

Why would herbie be banned for a topic like this? Jeez, moderators don't like people slagging taches on gays and scumbags but it's okay to slag handicapped people? Then I get banned from the humour forum for defending them. Yeah angel whore does look funny with those gnashers, I wouldn't compare him to doctor teeth though as his look quite clean and well proportioned. lighten up.

LOL!
But it's homos, not homo's.

It might have gone down ok though. I doubt that being gay takes away your sense of humour. If I ever became a homo, I don't see why I wouldn't be able to retain my excellent sense of humour.

Theorising on why taches are gay, I reckon it might be because they used to be a symbol of virility, and it is exactly that which attracted certain types of gay men to each other. At some point, the amount of gay men sporting "Freddy Mercurys" overtook the amount of hetero ronnies. The whole image of the village people cop with the tache made the whole thing just too homoerotic for people who weren't benders to have one.

Knackers most likely "grow" their bum fluff in order to attempt to give the impression that they are adults. They most likely never think about the gay image aspect. It stands to reason that some of them must be gay as well though. Statistically, some of them have to be - but who ever saw gay scumbags? If they ever felt they were gay, I'm sure they'd keep it to themselves! I don't think they'd generally have the capacity for much introspective thought, but even if they did, I'd say the natural instinct would be one of definite repression. Anto would know he'd be beaten to death if he ever expressed a physical desire for Deco.

azezil · 30-12-2003 6:40pm

LOL I know many gay men, none of who have mustaches, its most certainly is not a gay thing

MrNuked · 30-12-2003 6:45pm

No lots of them are active homosexuals, especially if they spend time in prison or take lots of e. I read a piece in The Big Issue back when it was interesting listing lots of Dublin Crime bosses who were active homosexuals. Then I read a complaint from a reactionary gay dude about it a little while later. (He took it that they were sayig that being gay makes you a hardened criminal or something)

geddit? Hardened? geddit?

This is the silliest thread today hooray.
Colin your endless references to your sense of humour grate dreadfully. In my opinion your sense of humour is ****e. This wouldn't annoy me at all if it wasn't for your constant boasts or challenges about it.

Sarky · 30-12-2003 6:50pm

Moustaches on their own tend to make people look like German porn actors. This is not good.

If it's part of a proper beard, or even a goatee, a moustache is perfectly acceptable.

Lump · 31-12-2003 1:27am

I think they make people look gay..... It's very odd, cause I had a 15 minute argument with a bouncer last night who had the gay-est looking on ever, tiny little thing, made him look like a right fag.

{Just to clear up}

We left the pub, morrisons in Kilkenny, after paying 5 euro each in. Myself and 3 friends walked 100 metres up the road to the night club, only to walk in and be told that the club may be closing in half an hour as it was empty. So I went back to the pub to let the bouncer know that we might be back in half an hour.

He replied "No you wont, you have 10 minutes grace time..." I looked at him, and exclaimed "What the ****?" He said "They're the rules". I walked away saying what a load of bollox etc etc.

Anyway came back out of the club cause it closed, walked back down and another bouncer told me that I could go in but my friends couldn't....... Then the original bouncer came to the door, and said none of use could go in.

Anyway long story short, after me looking for the managers name, his name, bitching that they should give out tickets as I had paid for the night, and I should be able to come and go as I please etc etc, they let all of us in.

When I walked out 90 minutes later the bouncer apoligised and said that he was in the wrong.

Hence proving that he was a pússy gay boy..... and in turn moustaches make people gay, therefore they are the middle earth of gayness...... or something.

Karl Hungus · 31-12-2003 3:09am

WTF lump?

He was gay for admitting he was wrong?
That's just plain stupid!

Lump · 31-12-2003 3:22am

Yes.... glad to see you copped on. Bouncers don't do that, it makes them weak. AHAHAHAHA
