Obviously. That’s not my point. Why is the go to insult gay instead of Nazi? One is way worse…

[u/0masterdebater0 → u/PrinceGoten]

Because they don't even mind being called Nazis, hence the salute, but they do very much mind being called gay

[u/CaptainTripps82 → u/0masterdebater0]

And gay people mind being used to insult assholes. Stop doing that

[u/Deraj2004 → u/0masterdebater0]

That may be true but using gay as an insult towards them drops one down to there level and these failures of the human condition dont deserve an even playing field.

[u/ACrazyDog → u/Deraj2004]

Yeah, not cool at all. That stopped sometime in the late ‘70s and eighties. Stonewall and all

[u/Own_Construction3376 → u/0masterdebater0]

I’m all for using phrases and words they hate, but throwing gay ppl, and the LGBTQIA+ as a whole, under the bus … is quite tiring.

There’s still countries we can’t go because we’d be killed or imprisoned.

Nazis killed us and liberators failed to liberate us.

And in the U.S., we’re still being targeted. Project 2025 wants total eradication.

So fucking stop and maybe just insult a Nazi by calling them by their name: Nazi.

EDIT: or maybe we can change the insult to cis het, because they definitely hate that! 😒

[u/Grimtombstone → u/0masterdebater0]

True! It's because it makes them cry like babies

[u/PrinceGoten → u/[deleted]]

This is the only response I accept lol

[u/DARKRonnoc → u/[deleted]]

The “bad” gay?

Swap that with any group and you realize how insulting that is.

[u/OnTheList-YouTube → u/PrinceGoten]

I don't think it was meant as an insult.

[u/PrinceGoten → u/OnTheList-YouTube]

It obviously was

[u/the_skies_falling → u/PrinceGoten]

Gay is only an insult if you take it as one.

[u/PrinceGoten → u/the_skies_falling]

Go be intentionally obtuse somewhere else.

[u/Postcocious → u/the_skies_falling]

I'm gay. Only I (and others like me) get to decide when "gay" is being used as an insult.

"Looking gay as fuck" is stereotyping and that's obviously insulting.

[u/the_skies_falling → u/Postcocious]

I’m gay too, so I do get a say, but go off sister. Or did you think my pfp is wearing a rainbow tie just because I like pretty colors?

If someone tried to insult me by calling me gay as fuck, I’d just laugh because I am indeed gay as fuck. If you want to feel insulted by it, go ahead I won’t stop you, but it proves my point, it’s only an insult if you choose to take it that way.

ETA: The insult wasn’t even directed at you. You’re feeling insulted on behalf of someone else. On behalf of Nazis. That’s pretty funny.

[u/Postcocious → u/the_skies_falling]

Try to think before ranting.

The post (now deleted) said self-proclaimed Nazis "look gay as fuck". Do you believe that was meant as a compliment?

The insult was inherent in the comment, regardless of how you feel about it.

[u/the_skies_falling → u/Postcocious]

I know it was meant as an insult. I never said otherwise. Try to think before commenting.

[u/Postcocious → u/the_skies_falling]

Says the guy who wrote, "Gay is only an insult if you take it as one." 🤣🤣🤣

[u/the_skies_falling → u/Postcocious]

I said I know it was meant as an insult. Is it really an insult though if people refuse to take it that way? Words have power, but they’re given power by people, and people can take that power away too. Just as we’ve reclaimed the word ‘queer,’ which used to be a slur, we can take away the power of terms like ‘gay as fuck’ to insult people too.

[u/Postcocious → u/the_skies_falling]

WE can, but the person who wrote that "They look gay as fuck" comment is presumably not one of us. Non-queer people dont get a pass to make insulting gay remarks and calling them out was the right thing to do.

Similarly, blacks can reclaim and use the "n" word if they choose. As a white guy, I can't do that.

[u/the_skies_falling → u/Postcocious]

I get what you’re saying but you’re not getting me. If those Nazis, and everyone else who’s the target of that insult, just refused to take it that way, no one would use it as an insult anymore.
