But his wiki has fallen into disrepair and he made every page redirect to the American Nazi Party Website, we need to rebuild it.

Also, whatever happened to Trey (ADF's Clyde Cash), does he still lurk here? He'd probably have some funny stories.

Here's the old ADFki: editthis.info/adfki/
 
I remember the old wiki (vaguely - sometime in the last 5 years or so). I recall that there was one article that had a pic of stuff ADF put on a wall (which included an Israeli flag), with a caption comparing it to the Wall of Originals of CWC.
 
Here's ADF throwing a shitfit over Autism Speaks

Autism Speaks and Cure Autism Now are almost universally hated by the individuals who live with the condition they are seeking a cure for.

I have Asperger's Syndrome (an Autism Spectrum Disorder) , and I have reason not support the activities of Autism Speaks, Cure Autism Now, and other 'charitable' organizations seek to find a cure for Autism.

The Issue at hand is Acceptance VS. Cure for Autism

The cure these organizations are searching for center around them finding the gene that causes Autism and they'll come up with a pre-natal test to detect Autism in the unborn babies of pregnant women -- Once the fetus is found to have Autism -- The Woman have the option to abort the unborn Autistic baby -- This would be the same as Nazi Germany's Eugenics Program under Hitler.

Think about it, if people had access to such a cure that Autism Speaks is looking for -- I would not be born. My Mother could have aborted me had this kind of cure been available to my mother in 1985.

With the right support services in place, all autistic people are capable of living meaningful and fulfilling lives. However, negative media coverage and deliberate pity campaigning have created the public opinion that autism is a "tragedy", and that people with autism have no hope of achieving anything. As such, the availability of a pre-natal test would cause the majority of autistic people to be aborted. A recent study has shown that 91-93% of fetuses that test positive for Down Syndrome are aborted. As autism is genetic, if these figures were similar for a pre-natal test for autism, the autistic population would be decimated, and autistic culture would be destroyed.

Also, the majority of autism fundraising currently supports genetic research. If this money were to be channeled into support services, autistic people would have a much greater chance of living productive lives.

Here's an old journal about ADF shitting his pants over someone that attended Anime Club with him.

Recently, over the weekend, I have been receiving a number of death threats on DeviantART via notes about my yaoi and Ko-chan High School artwork, and most of all, my sexuality.

I believe this to be related somehow to one of my Anime club members, he is *todenkoff on DA . He got pissy with me over a month ago after I critiqued him on his anatomy, I even suggested to him (innocently at that time) for him to invest in a art class, then he got all mad at me. Since then, he's been calling me names and saying rather fascist/racist things about gays and Latinos (which I definitely take personal offense to ) whenever ~Kourine is not in Anime Club. I believe *todenkoff has now been coordnating these death threats with his DA watchers, as of right now, *todenkoff , his affiliate ~General-Sinner , and all his friends who participated in these hate crimes are now blocked from commenting my DA Site.

To make matters worse , *todenkoff has a history of being abusing towards women, this is where I'm now fearful for ~Kourine 's safety. As her best friend, I have a responsibility to protect her from that creep. If he lays a hand on her or say another anti-gay comment to me, I will kick his ass out of Anime Club!

Here's an old journal of ADF whining that the DA staff suspending him for drawing underage characters is "homophobia" somehow

I was suspended from DeviantART today (and for the Next 30 days) for the following reason, and I quote: "Submission of pornographic literature involving under age characters." It appears that some homophobe(s) who had connections reported me on DA of my artwork. They have deleted off a number of my yaoi fanfictions from my gallery.

Currently, I am in the process of gathering up e-mails of my DA friends, some of whoms were involved or had planned to submit entries to a Ko-chan Character Fan Art Contest. I going to tell them somehow that contest will still GO on as planned, with the deadline set for April 15th as the original deadline date.

This situation sucks!!! Well, I feel it's more trouble right now to try to get un-suspended from DA. Knowing the Homophobia that exists there sooner or later I might end up banned permenanently. So for the next 30 days, Y! Gallery will be my primary base of operations until the suspension is lifted...hopefully. TT__TT

For now, I'm in exile.

Now for a situation like this:

I thought I share with you why I believe HOMOPHOBIA IS WRONG! This seriously applies to all living in the United States, which is the most Homophobic country in the world.

I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

I am one of the lucky ones, I guess. I survived the attack that left me in a coma for three weeks, and in another year I will probably be able to walk again.

I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

I am the man who died when the paramedics stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didn’t have to always deal with society hating me.

I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don't believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.


Ja Ne,

Felipe (AKA ADF-Fuensalida)

When I voted on Super Tuesday Yesterday, I could not decide between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton by the time I got to the polling place in mytown. so...

I voted for, as a "write-in" candidate....SASUKE UCHIHA!!!!

I figured, this election is whether or not he can beat Itachi this year!

At least I voted in the primary X3

Man, I forgot how he used to type like Nick Bate. Replace "butts," "Anna," "poop," and "children" with "Yaoi," "Paddle," "Kourine/Canis," "tied up," and "gay" and the two are almost identical :surprised: Maybe it's the "LOLSORANDUM" humor.

As you all noticed, I'm back on DeviantART and have a lot of stuff to post there from February during my suspension there, so I have a bit of a back-log. I also draw girls too, a lot of girls on DA and other stuff I can't post here on Y!

Also, I have a Ko-chan High School fanart contest going on there til April 15th. So goona be a little busy there...

Here's what to expect for March on Y! from AkichanX3

GAY-sha Vid Takahashi
Gay-sha Houshii
The Booger and the Brunette (Aki X Canis)
Aki X Canis at a Gay Bar
Grab-ass (Aki X Canis)
More Vid X Houshii

Ja ne folks, I'll be back on Friday to finish up the Gay-shas

Akihito

P>S> Canis, I DEMAND MY RIGHT TO BE TIED UP!!!!

Well people, my favorite season is almost here... SPRING!

I hope everyone will enjoy their Easter Weekend...with lots of candy X3

Everybody, I need your support next week.

I am planning on coming out to my Mother about my sexuality sometime next week. Yes, I am telling my Mom who will hopefully still love me no matter if I am homosexual or not. I haven't decided officially yet, but I'm close to a decision on t

I came to this decision this week, It is no longer serving my interests to keep this a secret any longer. And to be really honest, I AM DOING RATHER LOUSY JOB AT KEEEPING IT A SECRET! Here's how:

Exhibit A: I been leaving my leather handcuffs out on my bed the last few nights, but I've heard no complaints or concerns coming from her.

Exhibit B: I've been wearing girls clothes at least once a week to school! A CLUE! A CLUE! Still not a word from her!

Exhibit C: My yaoi binder is prominently displayed on my bedside table and can be accessed at any time! ANOTHER CLUE!

To make a long story short I am tired of playing "Blue's Clues" with my mother over my sexuality. She's not picking up on the clues and putting them in that handy-dandy notebook.

As far I am concerned, If I were to be throwned out of my home for being gay, *cough* like some Christians do to their children when they come out. *cough* It should have been done by now! I believe she is now passed the Statute of Limitations of raising any complaints about this matter!

SO, Here's the plan of Coming out to her:
On Tuesday, March 25 I will be receiving an award for my high GPA from the College, When I return home, I will then talk to her and tell her that I am gay...simple as that.

If she objects to me being gay, I WILL FIGHT TO KEEP MY HOME!!!

I will not get kicked out of my home, because I can sue the crap out of her if she does. By the way, I've had to sign the lease to the apartment every year for the last four or five years. If she throws me out, she has to find another place to live if does that to me!

I love all of you X3!

Please pray for my safety!

Everybody, I need your support TODAY.

Last night, I decided after so many restless days and nightmares in my sleep that I would come out to my mother today. I already have done so this morning. Late Last night, I wrote a letter to my mother informing her about my sexuality. I left the letter someplace where she can read it. As far as I'm concerned, She now knows I AM GAY and she's already read the letter.

I could not keep this a secret anymore from her, it was bothering me to no end. I really don't know if she is gonna accept me or not as her son, I'll end up finding out this evening. It was gonna be a matter of time before she found out on her own, or conversely, this will confirm what she already knows about it. If she believed I was bisexual, then she was only half-right. If she I was straight, she was in real denial about me.

The reason for the letter is rather simple, to see whether or not she will still love me or not regardless if I'm gay or not. If she decides not to show up to my GPA awards function at the college this evening, then I have my answer to my question.

There were just way too many clues that I purposefully left behind for her to pick up on: The Crossdressing, the yaoi stuff I bought, the bondage gear, and my Yaoi artwork which was made by my own hands. I have a binder which has my all my yaoi artwork which sit by my bedside, she could have accessed it AT ANY TIME, and it wasn't a low key binder at all, I had a picture of Akihito and Canis naked on the damned cover for crying out loud!

As far as my fears with regards of being homeless, I am 99% Sure that this tragic scenario isn't going to happen, If it did, It should have happened months ago. I left way too many clues (i.e. see above) and something should have happened by now! I Should have been on the streets by now! HELLO!?!

Also, Not only am I sure that I won't be disowned or throwned out of my home, I WILL NOT LET IT HAPPEN AND NOT WITHOUT A DAMN FIGHT IF IT COMES TO THAT!!! I don't care if she calls the cops on me and I'm dragged out of my own home in handcuffs! It's not the first nor the last time I been handcuffed (willingly or un-willingly) !

I don't hate my mother for any of this, I just don't like her religion's stance on homosexuality; I'm Hispanic Catholic but I'm secular, she's white Protestant/ Evangelical Christian. Anyways, I'd better prepare for her bringing religion into this conflict (typical right-wing evangelical Christian) That would just set off bigger conflicts if she does do that to me.

EVERYONE...

I really sincerely thank you all for coming out and supporting me during this troubled time, I made you all something to show how much I care about everyone's support X3. I need all the luck you people can wish me for tonight.

I know it's getting little redundant with these journals about this situation (I'd personally rather be faving and commenting Sasuke cosplay right now on DA) but this will hopefully all be over soon, if not, I'll tell you who you can all blame, and it's not me.

I will give you another update ASAP on Wednesday Morning, and of course of whether or not I'm accepted for being gay, in the meantime, I want you to enjoy my new artwork and of course keep the faith because I love you.

God Bless You All, Keep praying for me

Well people, I don't know to say about yesterday evening but it was rather smooth how my confession went with her.

She did show up to the awards function so and I asked her about the letter, I started crying to her about accepting me.

She told me everything's "gonna be alright", I guess this can be interpreted as acceptance of me as a gay person. To think, all this anxiety since Thursday and she's stoically alright with me as a homosexual X3. I mean I was almost on a war footing last journal!

The one thing that sucked about this was she didn't ask me any questions like, oh...

"Do you have a boyfriend?" or that classic one parents do, "Are you sure you are gay?"

I believe the letter did it's job efficiently, it helped her decide whether or not to continue loving me or not. I am still the same person as I've always been, just now I am gay and proud of it.

I am now free!

No more fear, no more nightmares, no more lies to tell...I can still be me

Now that I'm out to my Mom, I guess there's only one more group to come out to...My anime club! (As if they don't know I'm gay!)

I feel liek teasing straight people in Anime club, maybe I'll hit on a couple of boys :giggle: :lmao: Get Canis-kun all jealous when I start hitting on poor Ross :evillaugh: Maybe I'll just make fun of his penis like Sai does in Naruto Shippuden!

Unfortunately, I have a midterm for Art History II Today, so I'll see if I can pull a quickie on Ross

YAOI!!!

Thank you all again for your prayers and support, I can not keep thanking you all enough. Check out my artwork or something. This state of emergency is officially over...go back to your "normal" lives or I'll paddle your asses!

LIFE NEWS ABOUT ME > My Homosexuality and WAWA

I know, here we go again about my sexuality, please bear with me T_T

Damn, It's been a while since I've ranted about my part-time job with Wawa Food Markets as of late, because I've been really busy at school and with all the beautiful I produce on a regular basis. But I have to tell you story that I think will get you going X3

About over a week ago, I trained a male new-hire, he's about age 16-17ish, I was assigned to train in the walk-in cooler. Of course, I showed him how things got done back there (Wawa's way and from my experience for the last 6 years of working there). A couple of the female coworkers think I was hitting on the new hire for a male date.

Yes, they think I'm positioning myself to be this guy's BOYFRIEND, as in they think I'm flirting with him! I guess my coworkers now know about my confession and artwork and they've figured out that I'm gay.

I've had actually told a couple people I work with (that I trust) about my homosexuality. I'm now a little worried about this situation, should I come out to my manager and confess to her that I'm gay before anything else happens with this?

And If I get fired from there, It will be no skin off my ass if I put everything in context with regards of my history with Wawa, which been pretty rough and tumble and prone to conflict?

Please Comment this if you have any ideas of what I should do?

Felipe
 

I'd say we're probably one of the least homophobic countries in the world except for maybe one of those Scandinavian utopias.

He should try going to one of those third world central american countries he's so obsessed with and see how they react to him screeching about his precious pronouns.
 
Phil, you're probably not the best example to use to convince expectant parents not to abort their autistic children.
 
Now that I am gonna be out from school, I won't on Y! as much as I am b/c I'll Drawing a lot of stuff. I have the contest prizes and a couple of requests and gifts to done his month, as well as my shit with Ko-chan High School on DA. I hope to have a few more yaoi pieces of Aki X Canis by the end of the month...

Anywho, I'll be taking a two week break from here. Then I should be on Y! at least twice a week during the summer. Normally on Mondays and Thursdays when I do go online.

Also this month, I have a friend on DA who should be finished up with Akihito's new outfits. So you'll seeing him in female kimono and Gothic Lolita outfits at the tail end of the month. Along with other outfits that will really go good on him X3:

She has came up six ideas for "Aki-chan"
EGL Outfit
EGA Outfit
Schoolgirl Outfit
A Kimono (female kimono)
Maid Outfit
and lastly a outfit with a really 'gay' fur coat

This has got me all warm inside for me and Aki-chan

Also, If you haven't seen the newest profile pic, I have genber-bending Akihito a lot lately, also been experimenting what he would look like as agirl. I'm so in to this I am actually beginning to debate with myself on whether or not to actually change male Akihito to female "Akihiko"

What do you think guys, should I change Akihito's gender permanently from male to female? I am a little torn up and I think I need help with this decision for him (or her)

Ja ne for now X3

Well Everyone, I could have not thought of a better title than this but...

I am quitting from my part-time job of almost six and a half years from Wawa Food Markets

The Announcement to was made yesterday to my boss, I came in about an hour early for my 4 hour morning shift and I waved my manager over to talk with her about why I am leaving. I kept the discussion under oh 10-15 minutes tops. I told her I am departing due to a combination of my own and a couple outside external factors/problems that are beyond my control. I reassured her that whatever that was happening with me was not her or Wawa's fault...directly. I will be terminating my employment as of the 17th of August 2008.

Indirectly, it is Wawa's fault, but combined and aggravated with the other factors that are causing to leave Wawa, they are:

Factor 1) Perhaps the biggest and most complicated external factor weighing on me the heaviest to warrant me to leave Wawa is an ongoing legal case with the State of New Jersey over Developmental Disability Benefits, which include Social Security and Healthcare Benefits, and a case manager to oversee my case. This Case has been ongoing since Spring of 2004. Repeated appeals after repeated appeals, and renewed in 2007, another redundant series of appeals and evaluations that aren't going anywhere fast, In may of 2008, told my advocates that are on this case "This is my LAST TIME I WILL APPEAL!!!" and also that I want this case resolved and/or ended and with by September of this year, 2008. As of this time I am writing journal to you guys, the parties involved with the case (my Mother included) have no intention, will, or plan to end this by my imposed September deadline, they appear to keep on dragging this on to the 12th of NEVER. Leaving Wawa will show these people to stop fucking with my future!

Even if these people do somehow get their ass in gear with this case and rule by September, as demanded, I am very afraid that if they rule me as eligible, Some of my Personal Freedoms, Civil Liberties, and my Right to a College Education. This fear is so far-reaching, even some things like falling into love in a consensual relationship of someone of the same sex as I am and traveling outside from country. I will not accept a court ruling that will take away my right to have a boyfriend because of my "mental condition".

Well, so much for my god damned Mother with acceptance of my Homosexuality, people! If this is truly her motive with this case, than this case is continuing to pursued without merit, on grounds based on my sexuality, yet again...

Now, keeping this in retrospect, I did grow up struggling with learning disabilities, only during my time in college in the last three years did I succeeded and truly overcame this challenge, this Developmental Disability case threatens to reverse all my hard-earned progress!

Throughout my life until I started college, I have been going to Special Education School from Preschool to 12th Grade due to learning disabilities and emotional disturbance (this part by way of physical, mental and sexual abuse at the hands of my drunken father) . In 2002 I was classified by a Doctor to have High-functioning Asperger's Disorder (which is a mild form of Autism) and Anxiety Disorder. Medication was recommended for me, but I rightfully refused medication for fear such would prevent from being as smart and talented as I am today with to education and art. I will go in depth about my "mental" condition at a later time but I want to keep this journal simplified and understandable for all of you to read and to continue on topic about me leaving my job.

Also, indirectly due to my job at Wawa, I am financially incapable of living on my own unless I live with a partner of the same sex *cough* CANIS-KUN! *cough*. The income and wages I earned from Wawa even prior to me starting College in 2005 was not enough to sustain living independently, thus, I am co-dependent on a man to take of me *continues thinking about Canis* , I need a Seme to keep my Uke self from getting in trouble *purrrs*

Factor 2) With the Asperger's case creating serious problems, my own reasons for leaving Wawa also entering into this mess: In September, when the Fall Semester starts, I will be beginning my Second Year Computer Graphic Arts classes and the assignment demands are going to high standards; I do not want that legal case running up interference, because if that cases me to fall behind, it would be really difficult to catch up for me.

Another reason for departure from Wawa will be the sustainability of continuing to work there while I have CGA classes, this sustainability was already strained early on when I first started College Three ago, also, I feel Wawa's patience with this process will be wearing rather thin in time. Originally, I planned on leaving Wawa sometime during the Spring Semester in 2009, either at the earliest in January after Christmas or in March around Midterms then, again the Asperger's case is forcing this decision to happen much earlier than previously planned. I made a promise to myself that I would leave Wawa prior to my College Graduation.

Also, I feel that It's seriously time to have change, Wawa has been my first job for more than 6 years, I joined Wawa when I was 16, I will 23 on August 12th. That is arguably a very long time for anyone having a first job. I would openly bet that over 90% of people around my age where I live (16-24 Years of age) would probably not be able to hold a stressful job like that, high turnover in food service notwithstanding.

Lastly, I'm leaving Wawa due to sheer lack of job security, and unless you are Heterosexual, Female, and not in college in Wawa, you will not succeed or advance far within the company... *look down to my pants* Well, I guess I have two balls and two strikes against me! :giggle: :lmao: Get it, two balls and two strikes! :lmao: :giggle: Even hours have been sucking lately, nothing pass 10 hours since the summer began, damn recession!

IT BOILS DOWN TO THIS: I've just been there for way too long to deal with that environment anymore. I've been through rough times prior to this with Wawa, I've been through anything like this, a perfect storm of mess churning up in my life.

Well, regardless of the Asperger's case, ADF-Fuensalida will no longer be flipping burgers at Wawa by 17 August 2008! HOORAY!

OK, I am going to miss a few of the people I am working with there, especially a few of those girls who keep putting me in yaoi pairings with all the male new-hires

And, do not worry about me art-wise, I will still be drawing even when unemployed, as it is, I am already underemployed!

Bogart this if you want X3

I have something I want to share with you about me...I hope you guys are open to reading this about me...
This might a little complicated to explain it, but I am going to try to explain this to you guys as best as possibly can so you guys can better understand it.

I have Asperger syndrome (AS) , AS is one of several autism spectrum disorders (ASD) characterized by difficulties in social interaction and by restricted/limited, stereotyped patterns of behavior, interests, and activities. AS is different from ASDs in having no delay in language or cognitive development (intelligence level) .

Asperger Syndrome is named after Austrian pediatrician Hans Asperger who, in 1944, described children in his practice who lacked nonverbal communication skills, failed to show empathy with their peers, and were physically clumsy. 50 years later, AS was standardized as a diagnosis, but lingering questions about the many aspects of AS remains. For Example, there is lingering doubt about the distinction between AS and High-Functioning Autism; partly due to this, the prevalence and causes of Asperger's is unknown, but recent research supports the likelihood of a genetic basis; brain imaging techniques have not yet identified a clear common pathology.

There is no single treatment or cure for Asperger Syndrome, and the effectiveness of particular interventions is supported by only very limited data. Recently, I been developing a view that Aspergers are not negative, and are not always a disability. This is a new concept to many people, I want you guys to know that autism is not a disease, and I oppose any attempts to "cure" someone of an autism spectrum condition, or any attempts to make them 'normal' against their will. I believe to "cure" someone of autism would be to take away the person they are, and replace them with someone else.

Part of the problem with the "autism as tragedy" point of view is that it carries with it the idea that a person is somehow separable from autism, and that there is a "normal" person trapped "behind" the autism. Being autistic is something that influences every single element of who a person is - from the interests we have, the ethical systems we use, the way we view the world, and the way we live our lives. As such, autism is a part of who I am.

Also, funding for "cure" research is unlikely to ever produce a result. In the meantime, support services for autistic people are underfunded. This money would be far better used to help existing autistic people. I currently have an ongoing 4-year-long legal battle, < read my Leaving Wawa in 2 Months Journal > for the whole mess of bullshit surrounding that.

I also oppose a cure because it can lead to eugenic elimination of autistic people by pre-natal testing for autism.

With the right support services in place, all autistic people are capable of living meaningful and fulfilling lives. However, negative media coverage and deliberate pity campaigning have created the public opinion that autism is a "tragedy", and that people with autism have no hope of achieving anything. As such, the availability of a pre-natal test would cause the majority of autistic people to be aborted.

A recent study has shown that 91-93% of fetuses that test positive for Down Syndrome are aborted. As autism is genetic, if these figures were to follow a similar percnetage for a pre-natal test for autism, the autistic population would be decimated, and autistic culture would be destroyed. The cure mentality also further influences cultural treatment of autistic people. Many parents focus on the idea of finding a cure for their child, and may neglect actual help and support in the process. Also, teaching and telling someone that they are "broken" and need to be "fixed" has long-term consequences for their mental health. Trust me, I've been there and done that...

There are several different labels that are thrown around and used for people throughout the autistic spectrum. These include "High Functioning" autism, "Low Functioning" autism, Asperger's Syndrome and PDD-NOS. The differences between these labels are often quite blurry, and are often based around childhood development, which has little bearing on the nature of an autistic adult like me.

One of the largest barriers to accessing support service is the use of sub-groupings to assign support, rather than assessing the needs of the individual. This means that, for example, someone with "high functioning" autism may be denied needed housing support due to the label, whereas someone with "low functioning" autism may be deemed unfit for activities of which they are entirely capable.

The autistic spectrum covers a very wide range of people, and these people like myself don't always fit neatly into the available groupings. Often these groupings are barriers to understanding, rather than tools for understanding. Essentially, the people in all the above groups are all a part of the autistic spectrum, and generalization of the specific groups within the spectrum is counterproductive. The personality and needs assessment of a person on the spectrum should be looked at on an individual basis, rather than on the basis of a label.

I know this a little over your heads, I'll give now a more simplified NARUTO example to digest all this:
Take Sai from Naruto Shippuuden, Sai is really talented, skilled and artistic with his drawings/painting, very capable in combat with Team 7's Sakura, Yamato, and Naruto. But Sai has some social skills problems with his teammates. As you know, he does a lot of PENIS jokes on Naruto, also his drawings take up a lot of interests and he is reported to have difficulty showing emotion and empathy to others. Also, Sai is assumed to be homosexual; just like me, minus the Penis jokes

I hope this starts making sense to you guys, I trust you all enough that you will continue to respect me for who and what I am, If I trusted you guys to learn about my homosexuality, ADF can tell you anything that is on my mind.

I am looking forward to your insight about this issue...I love you all!
