Tiny boobs, large boobs, penis, vagina, glasses or skirts do not matter. If you like girls, you are gay, if you like dudes, you're still gay no matter what. Accept it and live with that
Anyone else feel like there have been so many different ways the word "gay" has been used as a slur - both ironically and unironically - that the whole concept just kinda doesn't work anymore?
The only response my brain produces these days is just giggling and moving on. Like if your intentions are to shock me, I'm afraid that ship has sailed. Best thing I can compare it to is how poop jokes stop being funny when you hit a certain age, and start being a different kind of funny once you hit another.
But it probably really depends on your environment.
Obviously if you do feel negatively about the whole, that's a completely valid stance to take. Don't think of this as me trying to ifluence what should and should not offend you.
I personally don't feel like lumping this in with the kind of shock humor that toilet humor is feels analogous.
This to me, reads just as surrealist humor that is meant to highlight the absurdity of some straight men's homophobia not allowing them to interact with or do anything procieved as gay. Not that I think I needed to explain that to you, just highlighting where i am coming from.
This isn't to say it cannot be shocking, or intended as such, I just don't personally feel like its main purpose is to shock.
That's a nice take! It is indeed the absurdity of it all that probably does it. My comment was more of a shower thought inspired by this post than a direct reaction to it.
As you can probably tell from my choice of pronouns, I'm still figuring out what the concept of "being gay" even means to me. Though there's probably no point to doing so. Which only makes being called gay even funnier to me.
That, and of course the ridiculous concepts of what does and does not make you gay, that are going around. But that's part of the original joke.
The national libertarian party had gay rights as part of their founding charter back in 1974 when the Dems and Republicans were still holding hands and chanting "god hates fags" together in unison.
The libertarian party is still on message. Authoritarian conservatives/republicans claiming they're libertarians because they think it sounds cool have tainted the name.
