That's good, Pitbulllady, though I do suspect that someone will make a fuss at some point.
And, guys, just to say, I don't mean to be like a spoilsport or anything, but but if you are gonna go completely off-topic, make a new thread or something, because it can get a little confusing scrolling down thousands of replies that have nothing to do with the original theme. Talk about whatever, that's fine- just do it somewhere more appropriate, please?

(My two cents on the issue)
It's very difficult for me to deal with the entire issue of sexuality regarding fictional characters, for the plain reason that I am asexual, meaning that I essentially am lacking a sexual orientation. Sex and everything relating to it (such as physical attraction) are entirely alien concepts to me that I *cannot* fathom, *ever.* It's really difficult for me sometimes, its like having a learning disability or a handicap of some kind, because our world pretty much revolves around the issue of sexuality, and I have none, and I can't relate to heterosexuals or homosexuals or bisexuals. I am *very* alone in my way of thinking, its just how my brain is wired.
Its hard for me to tell *anyone* that I don't care for their choice of pairings etc because it feels hypocritical - after all, I DO realise that I am in the minority and for OTHER people, its normal to think of fictional characters as sexual beings. But for me, that's why I *LIKE* fictional characters, because usually (especially in a children's show!), they basically come off as asexual, and it makes me feel connected with them. As soon as people start making them behave sexually, it makes that nice connection go away. I do not support ANY pairings in the Foster's fandoms - ANY. However as I said, I do not feel that it is my place to say anything on the subject to anyone, because they can't help it that *I'M* different.
I did instigate a new rule on my forum, saying that you may not basically hint at ANY pairings in your avatar, sig, or "personal text", but that the topics are still allowed. For fics and art, one must now always post a link and a description if the work contains pairings, so as to not offend anyone.
Incedentally, while I was on vacation, I was thinking about something similar and I took care of this the other day. I used to have links to adult fics and art on my Terrence (that's that 13 year old boy from Foster's pbl mentioned, he's my favorite character) page. There were lots of warnings and descriptions of what the links led to, but I went ahead and removed all links (even to the "clean" stuff, just to not play favorites). My site is quite popular now, and I just thought it was time to clean it up. Terrence is a common target of pornographic fics and art, which I don't "support" but again, I didn't want to be a hypocrite so I linked to it anyways. I'm not going to anymore. I don't think the person (it was just one person who contributed to my page) has noticed this yet because I haven't heard anything, but I suppose when she notices, I will get it. She's been awfully busy attacking the anti-porn and anti-slash Danny Phantom fans on DA, so I suppose I'll be next. She never responded to my coming out as asexual on DA so either she didn't read it or she, like many others, has no respect for a person who simply has NO interest in sex. She's bisexual and VERY interested in sex.
