So Strix sends me a link to her Flickr page, saying that I apparently have a new fan. She's noting that someone had favorited a picture of me that she had taken, wearing my Renaissance garb, at an SCA even that we had attended last winter. She noted that the quality of the photograph wasn't among her best, so it must have been the, ah, content (i.e. me) that made the person favorite the photo. Here is the incriminating evidence:
So I follow the link, and sure enough, someone had favorited it. I follow that link, and it shows me the user name of the favoritor, and I have never heard of this person before. So I follow another link to see other things this person has favorited, and I find seven pages of men of various sorts wearing leather, many of the kissing each other, and most of them in homoerotic situations.
I don't consider myself homophobic, but I am disturbed that someone has categorized a picture of myself in a purely non-sexual context along with dozens of pictures of other men kissing and groping each other and wearing chaps but very little else.
So, should I be disturbed, infuriated, flattered, fearful, or none of the above?
