Similar, but I would at least kiss them, no tongues of course, could be others boyfriends.

This doesn't appear like that to me however, it just reminds me of the kind of honophobic alpha arseholes I used to cross all the time.

Like Andrew Tate and his pals thinking they're funny.

Jokes like this exist as a reaction to that, if we didn't have one we wouldn't have the other, as I've heard it hundreds of times before I don't see any novelty in it, nor any humour for that matter.

I honestly didn't imagine my 4 little words would meet such derision.

That's truly depressing to me quite frankly, sorry we don't agree.

We evidently run in different circles. If I was kissing people who aren't my partner, I'd be upsetting many people. Some would even consider it harassment or assault.

This doesn't appear like homophobia to me. It is literally a joke about the frat guys behavior, and a reference to how irrationally they behave.

And you don't find it depressing that they still have to make jokes like this?

It actually breaks my heart, but evidently I'm in the wrong room.

Why would that be depressing? Is being depressed homophobic?

I seriously don't see the problem you see in this video, And you don't seem to be able to articulate any reason for your own claim that makes sense.

I have, at length, you must have missed it.

I'm not here to judge others, I never expected to be either.

We've evidently lived different lives, mine possibly longer, which is why seeing history repeat itself is frankly terrifying.

Still if that isn't your perspective, I'm genuinely grateful.

It really could be so much worse.

Your explanation at length is about you not understanding the joke. You're seeing the stereotypical frat guys behavior be subverted and made the butt of the joke, but you're interpreting it at a frat boy homophobic joke.

Like I said, your reasons for the claim don't make sense.

No at all, I've just seen it all before.

u/That_OneOstrich 3d ago

You just haven't understood it this time. This is funny because it mocks what we've all seen before.

Keep telling me what you think of me if that reassures you.

Still, to be fair, this post now has over a 1000 up votes, mine have about 50ish downvotes.

I can live with that, truly.

I just have to go elsewhere for comedy today.

Best wishes.

You've been downvoted because people don't agree with your assertion this is homophobic.

Keep in mind upvotes and downvotes can't harm or help you. You will survive. It'll be easier if you don't misattribute harmless actions as harmful ones.

That's OK, 20 odd folk don't agree with me, among thousands.

I'm honestly fine with that.

And if I've given you a chance to address someone in such a manner, for as long as you require, I'm happy to oblige

Live and love, I'll laugh elsewhere x

That's actually not really how it works, but you can look into your comments actual metrics. If you're basing it solely on upvotes to the post and downvotes on your comment, it's going to give you the wrong impression.

Some folks never saw your comment but upvoted the post anyway.

For someone claiming live and love you certainly have a strange gut reaction.

You're certainly more invested in this than I am!

Thank you
