(52,152 posts)First, the original OP was entirely about the man's comments about gay rights. It wasn't about how cute he was, or anything else. I also checked to be sure, and yes the photo was from the original news source (the Advocate). Yes there were a couple of comments about his looks but the vast majority, as in all but one or two, were either about his activism or about the character he plays as written in the comic from whence it came. There are twenty nine comments in the thread (28 and the OP). Posts OP, 8,9,11,19,10,12,25 are about the OP or about the actor Amell. 1,2,8 are about the character. 3,4,6 are about the Olympics (the original post mentioned a post about the Olympics). 5,6,7 were du stuff. 13,14,15,17,18,19, and 21 were on his looks. 20,21,22,24,26 were about another actor who had played the same character on Smallville, and 26,27,28 were about Revenge the show upon which the other actor is currently playing. Wanna bet the break down of the SI thread is not even remotely like this. Yes, some objectification was going on, but the majority of the thread was about other things.
