BYU students should be self-righteous prudish nutjobs? Everyone I have talked with thinks they are an embarrassment.

Perception of BYU students. They are all moral, chaste, studious and bright. In other words the best the church has to offer. If they fail in these areas they are shipped off somewhere else to get back up to the high level of achievement.

They are those that would be repulsed by my avatar for instance and see it as porn.

So you are faulting BYU as an institution because there are some in our LDS culture that have unreasonable stereotypes of the "ideal" BYU student? That hardly seems fair.

Yes, that is unfortunate.
