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 ā€œcocksuckerā€ 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 ā€œhomophobicā€ 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
