DISCLAIMER:This joke is homophobic. "Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic. Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic"
this article explains it well: https://newhumanist.org.uk/articles/5082/the-dangerous-stereotype-of-the-self-hating-homophobe
Holy shit this comment section is either all bots or there's a whole section of lemmy that goes out of its way to deliberately ignore the comedic irony of this.
I hate it because it's ai. You hate it because it's "homophobic??"
As if portraying someone who hates lgbtq people as being lgbtq is anything more than making fun of them for hating lgbtq people.
Funny, but AI images are lame.
There's a lot of heated statements in here but I don't see the homophobia in this post unless there's more context. In this isolated post, it seems like they're just extending the Epstein release about "Bubba".
I won't take away from anyone who finds it offensive though. You're completely right to feel that way.
Trump being embarrassed for people thinking he had a gay relationship makes him homophobic
Affirming that embarrassment by making it the butt of the joke makes the joke homophobic
Hope that helps.
This is love
I know this is a meme space, but since there are quite a few comments about whether this is homophobic or not, I’ll leave this article here. Judge for yourself.
