why is ice skating fine but inline skating is gay?

Because ice skating is something you do on a rink or frozen pond.

Fruit booters are a public menace and think it is valid transportation.

why do you care if something is 'gay'
cycling is 'gay' to a lot of people

Ice skating isn't fine, it's just something people pretend to give a shit about every 4 years while they're also pretending to give a shit about the olympics.

I won't necessarily agree with the menace part, but it is pretty awful as a means of transportation. You're strapped in all the fucking time and have to carry shoes around with you if you're actually treating this as some form of commuting. You can't go into places wearing skates.

It's totally fine as a recreational hobby, but a skateboard makes a bit more sense for short distance travel.

Where I am (gay Europe) fruit boots are having a serious resurgence which I think is pretty cool. My city is pretty gay though, so that might have something to do with it.

I mean, I only ride casually, but still.

Ice skating is alright ice bunnies are the qtest and the women to men ratio at the rink is like 10:1. Go to the rink, guaranteed a qt will eyeball you.

Because inline guys got bullied by skateboarders for 20 years and ruined their image.

It's seen as a liability and most store managers or security guards will absolutely flip the fuck out.
It's why things like Heelys are banned in a lot of places.

You've never skated up a frozen steam?

I guess I would also be testy, if my life had a distinct lack of kino experiences.

This is accurate. Skateboard manufacturers lobbied magazines, and perhaps most importantly, the X-Games to give unfavorable coverage to inline skating circa 1998.

I'd like inline skaters more if they didn't somehow take up 20' wide MUPs with their shit

Hahaha, I was getting drunk in the local outdoors park, like 2 years ago, and I saw a, "roller skier"; and I was literally like, "what in tar nation!?". And I was drunk, and out of it, and I'd never seen them before, so it was like, WAT!?

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was probably more influential in making skateboarding far more popular than inline skating.
