  It’s literally just calling people gay as an insult

    I think the joke is that Trump/Musk are homophobic.

    If this were just two random guys, it’d be a fine addition to Lemmy.

      I think the joke is that Trump/Musk are homophobic. It doesn’t glorify it.

      No, the “joke” is calling them gay as insult, quite clearly.

      If this were just two random guys, it’d be a fine addition to Lemmy.

      There are no “acceptable targets” for homophobia.

        Exactly

        This joke is literally “but what if they were gay, haha!” “I knew it!”

        Its literally the bully humor that we’ve fought for years and years to rid ourselves of, and here it is on the top with over 200 votes.

        This is hate wrapped in a virtuous wrapper at its most generous, and way too many people are just seeing the wrapper and not what’s just under its thin facade: homophobia.
