discussion Why did all the straight atrl users from the 2000s leave and let gays take over?

[Distantconstellation]

So from what I been finding out atrl was full of straight guys/girls back in the 2000s but they all left by 2010...what happened? Did they all just go to reddit? Grew up?

gays are insufferable

[glitch]

You scared them off

Gaga made them gay

 

[Rush]

Straights have no patience for server issues 

[Aston Martin]

We need to employ similar tactics to scare homophobes and transphobes in the real world into hiding. Because whatever tactics were used by our alphabet mafia sistren on this forum in the late 2000s worked

[Timeless]

They were closeted gays obviously

There was a huge war between gays and straights and they lost 

[mons†er]

Definitely not true. In the 2010's there were many straight users on here. We found this out in PYP as well as SYG. Pop music stop being fun after 2015 and a lot of the veterans left. Keep in mind most of them are not in their mid 30's living life.

ARTPOP happened. Even for gay people this was a lot 

 

[nadiamendell]

Yeah, a lot of them weren't actually straight. As society has become more accepting, users have felt less of a need to stay closeted.

They heard Only Girl and gave up on humanity.

Do yall not realize how much different it was to be openly gay pre-2008ish.. like most gay guys were still closeted back then, the culture was completely different

 

By the time I joined a LONG time ago in 2010, it felt pretty majority gay already so idk 

[dumbsparce]

Wdym they were "closeted"? Did they have to register with a face pic and their government name?

[Sheep]

It's hard not to have a mainstream music forum be eventually overrun with homosexuals when Britney Spears and Beyonce are running the music industry. The late 00s pop girl explosion happened

When love takes over

[DREAMERS]

I'm straight! It isn't gay if you close your eyes. 
 

[kataraqueen]

Britney was universally loved, when she lost her constitutional rights only the gays still related

[Kimmo]

I used to say I was straight in High School… let's just say things have changed now that I graduated

 

 

[Arrows]

I'd love to see a demographics breakdown of atrl

[Living To Tell]

 

It was too much for them.

[Jotham]

I wonder the same thing. Back then there used to be a sizable amount of straight men and women on this site but most of them are gone now.

[BrattyBottom]

That was the time of major catfishing and impersonating others online. 

 

I bet it's the same demographic except many of you don't keep your homosexuality tendencies hidden anymore.
