A Journey, A Revelation, And Some Nudity

[scotth266]

In fact, the only thing that convinced me to believe you were a girl was that you had an obsession with your little Cairne Terrier (a creature I can't see a man adoring at all).

Spoiler: This is no mere dog. He is an Ultradog.

Look at him.

Look. At. Him.​

Bah! Must! Avert! Eyes!

The cuteness...

EDIT: Actually, Terriers are a whole lot less annoying better than most yippy dogs out there, so I agree with you.

I have to say that I agree with that. Poodles though... poodles make me want to kick things. I draw the line at those yippy things. And let's not even mention those Chihuahuas.

To be on-topic: I r confoosed. It might just be that it's nearly 12 at night here, so I can't think too deeply, but what gender are you again Joe? Eh, forget it. I'll file you under "Other" and just leave the question be. It's not like your gender has anything to do with your posting ability anywho: and you've always been a riot here on the Escapist. Not literally of course: the mods wouldn't take kindly to an ACTUAL Escapist riot...

I was going to say something about the actual writing, but then I saw 'Rockerjoe". Epic artwork, Labyrinth, just epic.

Thankyou.

When the time comes, and the battle lines are drawn, i'll be on the side that pays the best. Me and my triple-rotor, 21-barrel machine gun.

Made by Anarchemitis, because if I made my own Joe-dedicated media, it would be sad. Having comics and games and 3D demonstrations my hypothetical firepower made for me? That's sycphancy, it feeds my Ego like the nectar of the gods, and soon i'll need to make sub-folders for the various items of it.

My Gender? I'm The Ultra Joe.

That's another thing. Nobody ever took my overt self-parody egotism seriously, but once I was female people were unwilling to even play along. I make a joke of myself by habit, and for the most part people seem to enjoy having a go at me for it or indulging my facades, because we all know it's a facade. Not so for the lady-joe. Something to ponder, any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.

When a woman (more often than not me) is an egoist she's a *****. When a man's an egoist he's typical.

To direct you to my catchphrase; I'm not your average Joe.

You know, Fox News' catch phrase is "Fair and Balanced."

Not so in my view. But then again, I tend to look at things with my head tilted: it's just more interesting that way.

Oh, and Joe: that gun is awesome, though having the triangle part revolve was sort of unecessary. I just can't see that bit working

Spoiler: On that note, I think you and this machine would get along wonderfully.

As a comitted celibate, none of these observations relate to me! I do not adhere to this mythical protocol regarding dealing with the opposite sex, I pander to none and treat males and females with equal contempt!
For me, none of what you said rings true.

So does this mean I'm an exeption to the rule!

It makes me wonder why you've chosen celibacy.

Relationships really screw my head up. I find the opposite sex to be irrational and demanding. They never say what they mean, and always expect me to be some kind of psychic, who can miraculously anticipate their every thought and desire.
And so for the sake of my sanity, I have given up on such things to concentrate on trying to understand my existence.

 

[megapenguinx]

I always wondered about this, and just thought of you as a genderless suit of armor that learned to type.

 

[xitel]

I'll say the same thing I said when it (falsely) came out that you were female: "...ehn". I treat people based on their actions, not who they are. I may have made a few jokes about the femininity, I don't honestly remember anymore. But I operate based on the following ideal: People are what they do, not what they are. If someone tells me they're female, fine, they're female. If they act like a dick, I'll treat them the same way I would a guy that's being a dick. If they act nicely, I treat them the same way I would if they were a nice guy.

True, this may stem from my being gay, and already hopelessly in love with someone. As such, I don't feel the need to woo every female I come across and make them think "Hey, this is a guy I wouldn't mind letting inside my pants." I don't feel a need to endear myself to people that don't want me to endear myself to them. Before the "big reveal" I thought of you as a person who had created an online persona of an egotistical god complex afflicted individual, after the reveal I thought of you as a person that had created an online persona of an egotistical god complex afflicted individual, and after THIS reveal, I think of you as a person that has created an online persona of an egotistical god complex afflicted individual. But that's the thing. I don't think of you as a girl or a guy. I think of you as an egotistical god complex afflicted individual. Because that is how you have chosen to present yourself, and so that is how I have chosen to react to it. I can't speak for everyone else, only for myself, but hey, at least one is more than zero.

 

[Gerazzi]

Well that's odd.
I didn't even notice.
Maybe I'm just sexually oblivious

Don't forget the multiple personalities and mild sociopathy!

You make a good point, and one that stresses why I did this on the escapist rather than some random site on the net. The important and amusing contradictions only occur in people who I had already established a familiarity with. Some people didn't respond, but some people pull some sharp angled turns. That's something you can't get from faceless masses.

Not as a faceless Knight, at any rate, not without something like Escapism.

Apparently, I really gotta get in on this IRC thing. I missed the shenanigans.

Then you should try and find a sex partner. The ironic thing is, you chances of finding a rational and undemanding member of the opposite sex will go up because of the demographic you will be targeting. I know this first hand.

Of course, your chances of winding up with a psycho will also go up, but, hey--it's worth the trade off. High risk/high reward. Unfortunately, I also know this first hand.

The problem with this is that when having sex with someone on a regular basis, emotional attachment can develop and then you end up straight back in the relationship trap.

It's quite with the awesome.

Let me begin by saying that this thread inspired me to register... its unfortunate that i have negative comments to make though.

to ultrajoe,

im sure you enjoy these forums and have contributed to them a great many more times than i have, but this being the first post of yours i've had the pleasure of reading i have a couple comments to make. the first being what is it about this escapade you find so special? many people do this, yes you may have learned something and was kind enough to share but is that worth you and others speaking of you and your facade so highly? the things you discovered are simple for those looking for it to see in your standard day-to-day life no plan needed. we have known since long before your parents ever thought about having you that different societies have different gender roles and the internet is no different. as a scholar with a degree in psychology i find this to be one of the most laughably weak social experiments ever and you wouldn't be the first to do it. i think what others call tough love and what you call an experiment is merely a justification for you to lie to an entire community and screw with peoples heads which sounds a little sociopathic. having read it again just now i have to wonder why you wrote your anecdotes and lessons in such a way that simple people wouldnt understand cause only simple people would consider any of this news worth publishing. i dont intend to be mean or rain on your parade i only wish to have some of these questions answered so i fell a little bit less like you wasted all of our time.

respectfully,
EMG

P.S. i am a guy and always will be i promise


for the grammar police its late im tired and i understand my audience being internet users don't really mind that it is imperfect as written as long as its understandable.

 

[Altorin]

Ok, I've been posting at the escapist for a fairly long time..

and.. I honestly have no idea wtf this is about. UltraJoe was pretending to be a girl? I never bothered to care enough to find that little tidbit out I guess. I always assumed (correctly, apparently), that UltraJoe was a guy.

Did I not read your threads enough? was it mostly an IRC thing (I avoid IRC like the plague generally)? Did you start each of your threads with some reference to your femininity that I missed?

Not that it matters, but it seems funny that you may have been bluffing for so long and had regular escapists being completely oblivious to the facade.

It must have worked for some people though, as you managed to collect some interesting anectdotes, congrats on the joke
