You don't have to fight every social battle, but you ought not be offended when others point out that you have intentionally declined to do so, and that such act cements what is perceived to be another form of discrimination.

Whoa, whoa, whoa there. Have we reached the level of sheer insanity here, where indulging in something one likes (MEN) and where others can indulge in it is now considered declining to fight a social battle? Are we really taking the attitude here that, in the name of inclusion and tolerance, niche interests and groups are gauche because they exclude people (that is: everyone who isn't part of the interest the group was meant to focus on)

I'm all for portraying real segments of the population in a story... but they don't all have to be in there, at once, in the same story/MU*. I'm sorry, but if we have devolved to the point where we're going to insinuate "well, by opening a gay male centric MU* you're discriminating against everybody else and really you should be thankful that someone else has pointed out your social obscurantism at you" then we really need a sense of perspective. Especially when we're saying "You don't have to fight every battle" while also coupling it with "You shouldn't be offended when someone guilt-trips you about not fighting every battle."

No. To hell with that passive-aggressive guilt-tripping. What the hell are we, nuns?
