anti-bitch Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 Well yeah, I deleted grindr and tinder and have been using just tiktok for a while, and slid in the dm's if there's been someone nice. ofc the problem is that they can be far away, but still, it's cool to find people from there.
spree Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 I don't know what it is, but being the 100% gay man that I am I just can't get comfortable with the word "queer". I just don't like it. It's always been the worst slur to me.

It's always been the worst slur to me. but it's about reclaiming the word and making it a neutral umbrella term for the LGBTQIA community. there's queer theory being studied in universities. it doesn't have to mean anything bad anymore. there was a need to get a term for people that are not straight or cis, other than just repeating the acronym all the time.
Jagger Posted June 14, 2022 Posted June 14, 2022 using TiK ToK is a mental illness. good luck to them

I want to ship it back. Just rolling it off my tongue sounds just awful. It's horribly derogatory sounding. "Gay" works just fine.

Instagram is also used for this too. Much easier, you see all the guys pics and videos so you get a better idea of him. Honestly it’s better than the typical apps like Grindr.

The worst thing is that it is mostly used by made up microidentities who never had that word used againt them before and then they go out of their way to explain to gay men why they should be fine with the word even tho they are the type of people to play victims 24/7.
fountain Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 Honestly tik tok is a pretty great app for for finding community, I’ve seen a lot of disenfranchised groups find their voice and their people on there and it’s very nice to see. Yes I know people on here like to call it a cringe gen z dancing app or whatever but it’s been important for a lot of people and there is an abundance of genuinely good, diverse content on there.

schnetzka Posted June 17, 2022 Posted June 17, 2022 If other people in the community want to use queer then they can go for it but personally I do not like the word and do not like being referred to as such. I am part of the LGBTQ+ community but I will always hate the word queer. A lot of people meet online today so people in the community meeting on TikTok is just another way to add to it. If it makes them happy then they should go for it.
