I'm sorry, but the whole "bow to me bitch" is very offensive to me. After just spending about ten hours on a piece of artwork against this kind of shit, its a really fresh wound. I wish a little bit more thought was given before dishing this kind of shit-talk humor out. Have you ever thought about how fucked up it is to tie up women and beat the shit out of them as "sexplay"? Personally, I'm not bowing to anyone.
And these stupid net polls need to just die already.
Must be something to do with Linux. Nate got the same result...
(hey, that's not a friend of yours (who has a PC-stick up her ass) who commented below, is it? That's awful if a random person just decided to go rant at people...)
It was indeed a random person. And I quite believe that people have a right to their points of view, and that can be perceived as offensive, sure. But having known people in the scene and been around the fringes of it I can say that there's really nothing gendered about the phrase in this context. At least in my perception of it. I'm going to let the comment sit there and do as it likes. It is a valid viewpoint, so I won't delete it.
