  hm, I hear you - but I think that would have to be embedded in the context of the meme; it’s not like anyone knows you are a “cocksucker” in a non-pejorative sense; homophobia is what makes the meme successful, and I don’t think anything changes from the fact that you happen to be creating or sharing it

  basically the homophobia is in the audience that interprets and receives the meme, the meme succeeds because it plays on that homophobia, and so the meme is “homophobic” in that sense

  I have trouble imagining these memes being shared and being popular gay communities I’m a part for that reason - the audience might find the implication that sucking cock is itself wrong as homophobic and uncomfortable

  it should be clarified that when I point out the homophobia, it’s not meant as some attempt to cancel the memes or indicate loyalty or protection to Trump, instead I’m just trying to point out reactionary threads that remain, the way misogyny and homophobia are common even in anti-Trump sentiment

    Is fucking bad? Because you just used it as an insult…

      deliberately misinterpreting “fuck X” as articulating a sex-negative attitude is so non-serious and shows such bad-faith 🙄

      are you just upset that you didn’t have anything to offer, and this seemed clever to you?

      either way, I’m blocking you for your bad faith; I am happy to waste time engaging with serious people, but I have no time for your silliness

        I know you have blocked me, but for the benefit/detriment of anyone else reading…

        So if it becomes common to use “blow” (or any other allusion to fellatio) as a way to convey disdain, does it cease to be homophobic? How are we not there already?
