Have you considered that the comment could, in fact, be a joke?
Can we stop with this stupid and homophobic argument?

His point is that making it a joke is kinda homophobic. Like being gay is a joke.

It’s making fun of idiots that think like that, not gay people.

the joke isn’t about being gay at all. it’s about reactionary people complaining about things being woke and gay but refusing to play with a woman on camera at all times. it’s using their inconsistency against them; not advocating for it.

Lol yes, thank you. I’m of the opinion that using /s defeats the whole point of sarcasm… But at the same time I suspect the world is going crazy via misinterpreted sarcasm on the Internet… It’s a tough decision, maybe I should be using /s but tune it’s not sarcasm anymore…

Since when is Poe making laws? I thought he’s an X-Wing pilot.
