"Not that there's anything wrong with that" when extrapolating sexuality from [insert quality here]

Nice save there, jackass. Maybe I'm misinterpreting the phrase's usage, but it reeks of defense when it shouldn't be necessary to defend one's views (or when the fact that one has to present a defense is revealing).

I've found myself having to use the phrase occasionally (or found it more convenient to do so) in other contexts, but if it's coming after someone just ranted about, say, why it's wrong for guys to wear skinny jeans, then there may be a problem, especially if the modifier "too" was used in reference to the wearer's sexuality.

    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I've never heard this used in real life when the tone of the whole conversation wasn't joking anyway.

    ^^ Me neither. It's more from reading idiotic comments online. I realize that that's the problem.

    ^ I dunno; that one's not quite subtle enough to bug me.

    On a different note, only partially related to the OP: IJBM when men wear skinny jeans, but still let them hang low. If you're gonna wear nuthuggers, don't half-ass it (te he, I made a pun). Or, if you don't have the right physique, just don't do it; if I wear skinny jeans in the future, it'll be because they fit me quite nicely.

    Everest,
    Maybe I'm misinterpreting the phrase's usage, but it reeks of defense when it shouldn't be necessary to defend one's views (or when the fact that one has to present a defense is revealing).

    I pretty much agree. Though sometimes, I feel like it is alright to say something akin to "I dislike that kind of behavior" rather than pretend that one should not have qualms with something just because some other people have chosen to do it. 

    That being said, I am not sure that something like wearing "skinny jeans" is really a moral issue that maps onto right or wrong that well anyway. I mean, I think you can certainly feel free to say you dislike it or whatever without having to say it is wrong.

    I hope that made some sense.

    The only thing I can see about those nuthuggers that would be a problem is what they do to your sperm.

    ^ A fair point (though it's a moot point for me, since I don't plan to father a child). There are certainly bad reasons for wearing them. "It's gay" isn't one of those reasons.
