Sketchy? Strange? Shady? Suspicious? Sexist? All have pretty negative connotations that may upset someone, which makes sense, given that it's a negative feeling. It's difficult to find positive words for negative things.
Ah, it was more to do with the original OP's replies up to that point. I was of the firm impression that he was feeling ganged up on regardless of everyones' intent(not that I can blame him). In such a position, it's far easier to feel offended by terms with negative connotations - particularly so when they're being echoed repeatedly by multiple posters.
No need to apologise though, I didn't mean to imply you were anywhere near in the wrong for doing so. You were just expressing your opinion, but it just didn't seem like something that was being received very well no matter how kindly you or anyone else put it.
I can't blame him for feeling ganged up on, especially at this point after this was split into a separate thread... Just gonna say that was a mod and not me and I don't think this was the best decision. x_x Not that this is a topic that shouldn't be discussed, but rather, it shouldn't be opened with calling him out by name and using his quote in particular. I think that's only going to distract from the actual conversation of RL Gender vs IC Gender and make it all still about his statement. Seems like his thread was locked just so the poor guy could become the focus of another, brand new thread solely centered around his words...
