S+S or F+K?

On-topic-ish...
It's hard to have a fair debate of sorts over the preferred couple if they're not treated with the same respect in the forums.
Can the S+S thread be stickied too?

Replace "I'm scared of gay people" with "I'm scared of black people" and you're not going to find many people who are going to sympathize with a person who makes that comment.
As for claustrophobia, I doubt if elevators or other small enclosed spaces are going to be offended if someone doesn't like them.

Yes, when it offends people, it's different. But like you said, different phobias differ from each other, being homophobic is different from being a racist. When they offend others with their comments, they are wrong. But when they admit to being homophobic, they are only owning up that they are homophic. Nothing else. Unless they start offending people with their views, that's a different story.

Kurofai because we're *finally* getting some real development and S/S/S? because of the two Syaorans and the parallels to the OTHER S/S (SeiSu - I find the similarities a bit creepy actually).

Exactly what I was getting at two pages ago. Although I wonder if Sakura could still love Syaoran if he killed Touya, if you really want to get into parallels. I think the main difference between Subaru and Sakura is that Subaru had seen a lot of unpleasant things from an early age on, but still was able to remain pure. Sakura has been rather sheltered in comparison, which is one of the reasons why I'm a bit concerned about her waking up.
I get the impression though that Sakura has a very strong resolve, so maybe she'll try to bring him back on her own. I don't get the feeling that she'll remain asleep, she's far too strong willed. But we've never seen her truly betrayed by someone she holds dear before.

I second that!
And Sakura has always wanted to help, but because she was considered weak and unable to contribute much, she had to stay in the background. The poor girl has mentioned many times that she wanted to do something... and hopefully once she wakes up (and that if she wakes up without getting into an X Kamui state) she might finally be able to do something.

I never thought about it before but Sakura *is* sheltered compared to Subaru. I believe Clamp won't embitter her or anything like that though. I do think she is strongwilled but she might need someone to talk to first . Maybe Subaru (he has experience,after all)?

Ugh, I hate to continue this when I myself stressed on being on topic, but won't you feel offended if someone dislike you just because you like your own gender? Or even just think that your preference is *wrong*? Therefore, even merely stating herself to be homophobic is insulting to some. But again, I got the impression that the poster was just mangling her vocab.
