[–] JoShmoe@ani.social 1 point 3 weeks ago (2 children) The sticker uses the word “gay” negatively. It insults a community like an afterthought. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 6 points 3 weeks ago (1 child) Eh it's playing on that usage, but the tongue is firmly in the cheek enough that it's obviously not meant in a non-ironic way. As a queer guy I could see playing with the phrase that way, much like how my friends call each other the F word, and people wear "he/him/daddy" shirts at Pride, and all sorts of other ways we can make fun of ourselves and not take ourselves dead serious 100% of the time, which turns people off. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 3 points 3 weeks ago* As a queer guy I could see playing with the phrase that way, much like how my friends call each other the F word, My wife used to work with a guy like that, in a supermarket chain. Around Christmastime he says to my wife..."You've heard of elf on the shelf? Well how about..."...and just stopped there, and straddled a long, thin loaf of French bread like a witch riding a broom. My wife, being the type of ally who would never use that word, just kinda stared at him blankly. She didn't get it. Meanwhile when she told me this story I nearly keeled over laughing. Not because of the joke but just because of her reaction to it. permalink fedilink source parent [–] muusemuuse@sh.itjust.works 1 point 3 weeks ago Why? You could easily argue he’s just had a prolific sex life with a string of cops permalink fedilink source parent
