discussion Is anyone else tired of ironic homophobic jokes from gay people?

[brenda-walsh]

no, its really not that serious

[ZeroPoint]

I don’t know what to tell you boo, I deleted Twitter when that transphobic c*nt bought it and I haven’t looked back

Tbh straights jumped on all the gay inner jokes in the last couple years and have gotten more comfortable  being homophobic

 

This started around 2020

 

Gays started it

Yeah, I agree it's a good idea not to post those kind of jokes in social media spaces where it can give off a bad message

Sometimes, but then there’s some people who absolutely deserve it. Like that gay couple with the Twitter post about getting ****** by a third party, the third party stealing their cell phone, and then their rooftop proposal at the end of the day. 
 

Oh that was a classic

 

OP: yes, it's tired

[BletaRexher]

I don’t mind it because sometimes it needs to be said, even to me, stay humbled

In real life, when made by someone who is using it as a self depreciating joke with respect, I’m good. Online, it comes off as an insult. It leads to the usage of a certain other word (or words for some smaller circles) that has now crossed over to mainstream media - certain words that should’ve never been “reclaimed” have now been associated once again with us and now the mainstream heterosexuals feel emboldened by the ignorant few to use words that had been used as slurs (the definitions of which still are slurs) in every day life.

it’s stopped being even slightly funny years ago

Social media is the toilet of the internet as L. Gaga put it
