xD

Ya'll are overthinking this. If they don't want to confront me, then I won't try to push the issue. I'll just keep putting up my posters until they run out of patience. /shrug

I've been thinking of sitting my parents down to another Serious Mode talk, but we'll see if I can build up the courage to actually do that...

Of course, where bisexuality fits into all this is a mystery. I have a very different type of physical attraction between men and women (though in the end they both just result in boners :) ).
That just made my day.

Practically speaking I dunno what causes same sex attraction and I don't really care. That knowledge is a novelty at best. If it's choice, if it's genetic, if it's whatever, doesn't change whether it's good or bad.
Yeah, I think you're completely right about that.

Well talked to my father today and we narrowed down who was stealing my posters to one guy. I'm not going to confront the guy if he won't confront me (he's the one with the problem).

Also, amusingly, over the past week and a half only one customer has commented on it, and in my father's words, "she's crazy. You don't want to talk to her." I'm assuming hardcore homophobic but he didn't quite say that.

Looks like he's coming around, helping you with figuring out who's doing it and all that. That's great.

Bah. I would lie in ambush with a zweihander until he passed, at which point I'd leap out and while my blade fell towards his head I'd shout "SMITE EVIL!".

Of course, you might face considerable legal trouble unless the sword is made out of nerf foam.

That could probably still be considered assault.  :)  Come to think of it, I bet you don't even have to hit someone for it to be considered assault in some capacity.

Assault = threatening.
Battery = hitting.

Hitting with a foam sword would be considered both :P But would probably be thrown out of court.

I think you're handling it very well so far, including your approach to the poster thing, and it really feels like your parents are coming around.

I don't think it would even make it to court. Assault and Battery both require a legitimate threat, which a foam sword is not. Depending upon how you interpret it, a legitimate threat which would otherwise count as assault could even by neutralized by proceeding to hit them with a foam sword, as your non-legitimate battery makes the case that your legitimate assault was actually fallacious in the first place.

It's not the type of sword, it's how you use it.  :D

I'm pretty sure charging with your foam sword held high is sexual assault as well.
