So overall this blog is pretty funny, but I do with you'd cut it out with the homophobic commentary. Seriously.
Ok, so this is not the first message we've received along these lines and, as both one of the most frequent posters and a gay, I felt the need to respond. What, beyond the repeated mantra of "Emily You Dumb Lesbian", about this blog could possibly be construed as homophobic? Please, give me an example. If you're offended by the concept that lesbians heart hats, then my god, a) tumblr is probably the perfect place for you because this site gets offended by the most pointless shit sometimes and b) you need thicker skin.
Now, on the count of "Emily You Dumb Lesbian", look, I'm sorry if you find this statement offensive. It's not intended as such. It's intended because, for all intents and purposes, her lesbianism is Emily's most defining character trait, just like Ezra's pedophilia or Aria's fashion-disasterness or Spencer's full throttle craziness. If you really think that we are indicting Em for being a lesbian or that we are linking her lesbianism to her stupidity, well, I would say "[Your Name Here], you dumb [however you identify yourself]". I know for a fact that, when Hanna and Aria pushed Wilden's car into that pond, I wrote an annotation that had "Hanna and Aria you dumb str8 ppl". Looking through the archive I don't think it was posted, but that wasn't because it was part of some sort of anti-gay agenda, it was because it was already the next Tuesday and it wasn't funny enough to cram in as a last minute post before the next episodes annotations started. Whenever we've posted something with "Emily, you dumb lesbian", guess what? SHE WAS BEING DUMB. She's also a lesbian. Is there a causal link between them? Not in the slightest. But the statement still stands. She was being dumb and a lesbian. A dumb lesbian. Also, we've called Caleb a dumb lesbian before, so, you know, we don't reserve that phrase just for the lesbians.
So, look, we're sorry that you are offended by something we did on here but as a gay who has written many of those "Emily You Dumb Lesbian" annotations, can I give some advice? Pick your battles. We're a blog that makes fun of a ridiculous (and ridiculously entertaining- want to stave that off before we get a bunch of messages asking if we actually like the show) tv show by taking screen caps and writing on them. Homophobia entails an active, malicious intent. Do you REALLY think that there was some direct attack on lesbians in those annotations? If you did, sorry. But there wasn't. There was a playful ribbing of a character, who happens to be a lesbian, acting in an uncharacteristically dumb way. We call them like we see them.
Breaking: ABC Family Orders Pretty Little Liars Spin-off
Breaking: ABC Family Orders Pretty Little Liars Spin-off:ABC Family on Tuesday announced a Pretty Little Liars spin-off, titled Ravenswood. The series is slated to launch in October.
BIG NEWS, PEOPLE. There are no details as of right now, but, based on the title, we here at Pretty Little Liars Annotations can only assume it will be about the ghosts of all the various birds Aria has murdered coming back for REVENNNNNGGGGGGEEEEEEEEE. And we could NOT be more excited about that.

Like, those two words are the opposite of Ezra's type. Throw in non-pretentious and level-headed and you pretty much have the antithesis of Ezra's type. Which, come to think of it strangely, sounds eerily like Ella Montgomery.

1) Actually, it's about Ezra's secret life as a Carmen Sandiego cosplayer, but he got distracted by a cute pre-teen and accidentally bought the wrong color wig. At least, I assume that's what the submission was about.
2) … no. No we wouldn't. We're not into feet (which is what Toby looks like. A foot).
3) How many times to we have to answer this question? We like the show. Like the Friars' Club, we only roast the ones we love (note: this applies to the show, not the characters. We will absolute roast the characters we hate. What, I'm not looking directly at you Cousin Nate, Wren, Ezra, and countless others)
4) You mean like pretty much every annotation we've ever made about how Ezra is a pedophile?
