You learn something new about people every day, too.

And you also learn who doesn't know what a poofter is, too. (Americans...
can't even speak English! ^_^ )

Can't expect everyone to know every slang term of every version of the
English language, can you, Kun-chan?  I'll bet I could throw
half-a-dozen derogatory American slang terms just like "Poofter" that
you wouldn't know.  But what would be the point?

The Nature of Love! Kentaro Wants Ranma's Thing!
You're right!  Kentaro *does* want Ranma's Love,
although love is more of an emotion than a thing.  :)
Heh ... He wants Ranma's Love Thing, yeah ... Though I
wouldn't call it an emotion, more of a ... thing that grows
and shrinks depending on how well it's handled!
True, the love you feel for someone can become greater or lesser,
depending on how the two people involved handle their feelings, their
personalities, their conflicts.  That's what Ranma 1/2 is all about,
isn't it, watching Ranma and Akane's love grow despite everything that
goes on around them?  :)

Mhm... That's what Ranma 1/2 is about ... But your fanfic is about how
a two guys handle each other and how to hurt ones that really love one
of them ...

No, it's about gender identity and sexual preference.  Yes, there is
pain, but the pain is not maliciously delivered, and everyone comes to a
form of acceptance in the end.  And Ranma and Kentaro never "handle"
each other while they were both men (although one person suggested an
alternate ending where I do just that.  Hmmm...)

Hmm... another title, yet!

The Nature of Love! Ranma Goes Down on Kentaro!

He does no such thing throughout the fanfic, nor is it implied.  Really,
Kun-chan, not everyone lives in the lemon world you do.   :)

Kun-chan...
