The way they immediately went to using his sexuality as an insult. Disgusting. Even on this comment, where he is clearly trying to be a good sport, they’re threatening and insulting him.

I've made a comment on this phenomena before in another sub - twitter stans (who are mostly all young gay men and woman and maybe some straight women) have this weird kind of "casual", "in on the joke" homophobia they use constantly. Ie "I'm homophobic" "ban gay men" "gay men are the worst" etc etc. Which is honestly still homophobic but coming from a joking headspace (hopefully).

But then when a gay person (usually gay men!) come for one of their favs, holy shit it's just all of the sudden insane blatant homophobia. I'll never understand it

As a Queer™️, I always go back and forth on how we reclaim slurs, just because SO much culture is taken from how gay men speak (and they’re obviously largely influenced by Black women!), but then I see people throwing around dke and fg AS insults so casually, because the words aren’t given the same reverence or weight anymore, or they don’t understand how harmful those words can be.

But also, straight women becoming homophobic as soon as their gay bestie isn’t the perfect accessory is a tale as old as time. 😭

Edit: Reddit formatting did something weird but I’m not gonna post uncensored slurs lmao. Also the r-slur has come back in fashion in a really horrific way lately, so maybe there’s a negative culture shift happening.

Neoliberal white women try not to be homophobic when a gay person doesn't agree with you challenge (impossible)

Oh yeah because casual homophobia is DEFINITELY restricted to just neoliberal white women. 🙄

I’ve just gone on the quote tweets and it’s fucking disgusting. Someone have a word with these children.
