Oh god so so so many. I’m going to stick with music though for today.
You like ${artist}? That’s gay.
Even more fun, “You like ${Track} from artist? That’s the gayest track.”
Guys are real quick to make sure everyone else knows how much manlier they are by what music they listen to.
Sounds like your music is pretty gay. Add some masculinity with It’s Raining Men or just jamming to some Village People.
Just wanna point out that at least in the 90s and early 2000s people would call everything they disagreed with gay, and it didn’t have anything to do with sexual preference.
My brother’s gay and still calls stuff he disagrees with gay. Used to do it myself all the time but stopped quite a long time ago.
In the same vein, my friend frequently tells his fiancé to quit being a f*ggot when he doesn’t want to eat something unusual or complains about mild annoyances. Which always draws hilariously confused looks from nearby straights who don’t know them very well.
Those guys are all sadly afflicted by a case of the Notgays.
I was born in Victorian Britain and have a very mirthful air about me.
So one day I was going about my merry business, being my jovial self.
When I’m walked a creature that saw what I was about, smoked at me and said ‘well aren’t you the gayest person I’ve met all day’.
I’m not sure how to feel tbh
That has to be one of the best IT crowd episodes.
That and the fort trial. Or where Jen breaks the internet.
I’m disabled!!
Leg disabled
Isn’t there a whole meme for this. Fellas, is it gay to __?
I grew up in the 90s so just existing would cause people to call you gay.
Oh no sorry that’s just gheyyy! It’s a different thing altogether
The 90s. Cross your legs, gay! Wear a shirt with a loop on the back, gay! Express any emotions, gay!
The 80s: clear your throat in too high of a pitch? Get followed to the bathroom and the shit kicked out of you.
F
Nostalgia is gay dude.
They called us metrosexual
My dad used to call me this non stop. I didn’t know what it meant and he kept saying I was effeminate because I cared about the clothes I wore. I wanted to look good for the girls.
This, to my dad, made me gay.
Play a female character in an arcade game. Specifically the one in Golden Axe.
I usually play as a female character in 3rd person games because I prefer to look at a woman’s butt rather than a man’s. Seems like the opposite of gay to me, but apparently not.
Yeah I don’t get people’s need to associate the game character with oneself as roleplay. The game character is the game character and I’m just watching like I would in a film.
Yeah, for me it’s partly aesthetic preference but also I’m not inserting myself into the game. I’m controlling the character, not pretending I am the character.
I don’t understand the people who get weird about the player characters in video games. Both the “Why do I have to play as a girl?” crowd and “Why can’t I play as a girl” crowd. I played as Gordon Freeman and Chell and I turned out…not in prison.
But not very talkative
Yeah it’s all Lara Croft’s fault, all those gamers are gay now because of her
Dumb. Obviously you’re trans. /s
I’ve always played as her. She was hawt. Turns out I must be gay. Who’d have known.
old man ftw
Or you could be trans, apparently (3rd panel): https://reallifecomics.com/comic.php?comic=july-3-2020
Wow, that comic really fails to entertain in any way!
I was told I’m gay because I like knitting.
I mean, yes I’m gay, but not because of that.There’s a knitting community, but it’s pretty slow. Crochet gets a little more action.
Knitting is a form of computing and computing is women’s work. So yeah, super gay, just like all the other programmers. /s
We’ll programmers do enjoy their programming socks
My programming does suck sometimes, but I wouldn’t say I enjoy it.
It would be really weird if that was cause and effect. I like to imagine how that might go down though.
It’s a tie between licking ice cream and saying something is adorable.
Haven’t heard “gay” as a pejorative in real life since high school in the late 90s.
Yeah, school.in the 90’s was so gay.
Kiss my homie
Cry.
Driving a red sedan
I can’t even follow the logic behind this one.
Come on its obvious! Sedan - see Dan. Staring at a man called Dan.
Also ‘red’ has 3 letters, just like ‘gay’.
Y’all better not be driving any green (gayer) or yellow (gayest) vehicles either!
Here’s something to ponder. The next time someone accuses you of being gay for [insert lame reason here], ask them how they know that’s gay? Are they gay? Funny how some “men” are so obsessed with “gay” stuff. Always remember, and never forget, closets are for clothes.
Know how i know you’re gay?
Worst part about being on Lemmy is having to tell your parents you’re gay
Because I’m standing here not wearing any clothes? They are all in the closet btw. :)
I definitely employed this strategy in middle school
Doesn’t generally work because logic doesn’t work on these people
This is the adult, “takes one to know one”
kissing your son
