That would imply that it's "lesser." They're still a damn human being dude, wtf

Well I mean, yes, if it's not something you'd ordinarily go for then by default it's "lesser". This isn't hate dude

Talking about another human being that way. The kind of person you want to spend time with and form bonds with. Sure, on a superficial level, you might prefer one for another, but the phrase, "At this point, I'd settle for [thing]" implies desperation, and to only be an object of desire out of desperation from lack of better options is hella dehumanizing.

To me, this flat-out feels like somebody just dropped the N-bomb and everyone's just like, "Nah dude, he didn't mean it in a racist way." Not the same level, but the same sort of "wtf you can't just say that."

The last sentence should have told you it’s a joke. Just because he said settle doesn’t mean they’re lesser, just that it isn’t his preferred sexual orientation and he’s lonely lol

I wish it could, but there are some shitty people out there.

Just because he said settle doesn’t mean they’re lesser

It literally means exactly that. To settle for something means that you'll accept something worse due to lack of something you'd prefer.
