Thanks to all who voted. Congrats to the winners.

I don't know why but I couldn't work out how to vote.

Anyway the right guy won, glad he's getting all the love he deserved.

That pit shot is so hot!

[rubendiasfan]

This is hilarious. I think people have conflated an admirable gay drama with one of its stars.

Odd how Mount came 2nd overall in the vote-off yet Grealish beat him comfortably in the footballer poll

I don't know why but I couldn't work out how to vote.

No idea. We literally couldn't make it simpler. You clicked next to the one you liked and then clicked vote.

This is hilarious. I think people have conflated an admirable gay drama with one of its stars.

A handsome male celebrity won a poll of handsome male celebrities. Yes, most of our members will have watched Heartstopper due to the content but I don't see anything odd about this. Your choice didn't win obviously. I apologise.

Not really. There were only 2 footballers in the final round. If everyone who'd voted for Mount + everyone who voted for the other 10 footballers in R1 voted Mount in the final, he'd have won it by a mile.

[rubendiasfan]

Maybe I inferred "favourite" wrongly. I assumed it was based on looks or sex appeal (which is the major driver of the Picture and Video forums), rather than personality or worthiness in terms of gay rights or visibility.

I stand by my assertion that this competition was not won by the objectively most handsome or sexy guy. If Kit hadn't appeared in Heartstopper and was, say, a football player, do you honestly think he'd ever have appeared in the forums, let alone won any contests on them?

He is a very handsome lad.

[Tiuri]

the objectively most handsome or sexy guy

`

Both of those qualities are subjective. I know for a fact that there are people who don't think Mr Universe (objectively the handsomest man in the world) is neither handsome nor sexy.

Your subjective assertion, based on your consensus of one, does not appear to hold true to the results of the vote.  You seem to be intelligent enough to understand what 'favourite' means, but for the avoidance of doubt:

a person or thing that is preferred to all others of the same kind or is especially well liked.

It's not complicated.

[ladsnet]

If Kit hadn't appeared in Heartstopper and was, say, a football player, do you honestly think he'd ever have appeared in the forums?

Yes. 101% Yes.

I think the vast vast majority of members would agree.

[rubendiasfan]

Yep, I understand what favourite means. And it's a world away from "most attractive".

Herewith the photo from his Wikipedia page. Presumably a flattering one, whether he added this pic or one of his fans did.

I think you have answered your own question here.

Your point being...?

it's not like FMF is forcing you to agree with their choices. it's just for fun, generating traffic to the site.

A bit like when you question choices based on race

[bassman]

The best guy won : end of argument 

[westham1980]

I'm with rubendias here - it's a popularity vote for 2022. Moderators here seem to be unable to understand people might have an opinion different to there own.

[Heinrich]

He looks a lottttt better out of character. I'm just glad it's not a usual suspect.

Eh? Its a public vote.


Seems to be a worldwide thing these days that if a public vote doesn't go your way, it's because of XXXXX or YYYYYY and not that the majority people just disagree with your views.

The only people who seem to have a difficulty understanding that other people can have a differing opinion to theirs are rubendiasfan and yourself.

I agree with Ladsnet, too many people these days cry conspiracy if a vote outcome doesn't meet their own preconceived expectations.

If you're in this much of a state about Kit Connor winning this contest then god knows what state of decomposition you would've undergone had Justin Bieber won instead. You seriously need to let this go.
