Males are less likely to be open about their feelings and less willing to express emotions and their struggles, especially with each other. When it comes to sociology between males it is often tainted by homophobia, internalized homophobia, femme-phobia, closet cases, gay insecurities, misogyny, self-misandry, toxic masculinity, masculine pressure and masculine superiority, obsessions with “straight” or hetero-leaning guys. Online most of the content from “gay” creators is content that’s consumed mostly by women. While on social media, a lot of the non-closeted dudes have followings that are majority women. In school (or even adulthood) they are the ones making sure you feel comfortable and don’t feel left out and don’t get your ass kicked everyday. Women are often the most immediate and most persistent protectors and supporters of “queers”. It’s reminiscent of the 90s where most female-female stuff was presented as merely something to tantalize men and something for dudes to gawk at. That’s rather dangerous territory, especially for guys who are homosexual, “gay”, lean overall homo when it comes to the orientation spectrum. I don’t know if this is gonna sound misogynistic, but identities and same sex affections, passions, love, relationships should not be filtered through women and be mostly about appealing to women. You have some dudes embracing certain identities mostly to appease women and female driven identity politics. You have gay couples making out on social media mostly to appease young girls. While you got “straight guys” making out on social media, mostly to appease girls. But yes, a lot of “gay entertainment” is starting to feel like it takes teenage girls into account before anyone else. It’s just a bit strange and over-the-top, especially with this being 2020. The reactions seem less about being positive and supportive and more about sensationalism. Here’s the “extended cut” shared by Tanner Rex, who originally shot the video: Okay but he’s low key kinda hot ? /ZL4sgWsuVt It’s me living my own dramas on my mind ?Īs much as this is a funny, beautiful and loving video, this gives me hope for better days to come in my life~ Girl in the back be having out-of-body experience?? /5QQZgSIIbXĪll these kids are my spirit animals????? “The limp wrist feels like a throwback in some ways I remember it felt like a ubiquitous homophobic mocking gesture from my time as a closeted kid in the late 90s and early 00s,” said Philip Ellis, a journalist who wrote a piece for GQ magazine in 2019 about gay men adopting the word “faggot” as a term of pride.Įllis pointed out that the LGBTQ community has for several years used images of limp wrists as memes.I wish wish wish I had seen two hot guys snogging when I had been there age! It might have really helped me coming to terms with my sexuality without all the years of hating myself and torment I went through thinking I was the only gay in the world and I would have a life of hell Most recently, this has involved many people choosing to identify as “queer” or using that word as a shorthand to describe the broader community - although some still find this offensive. The LGBTQ community has a long history of reclaiming things that were once used as derogatory slurs against them. (According to a 2012 Slate piece, limp wrists have been deemed “unmanly” since ancient Rome). The 18-year-old said he thought the action would be instantly “relatable” to others in the LGBTQ community, even though he also recognized it had offensive roots. BuzzFeed News can’t 100% confirm if Hallows came up with the limp wrist meme, but he was the earliest we could find and recalled devising it as something different from what he had seen trending. By this time, “Kiss Me More” had been a viral hit on TikTok for months, but that point of the song was mainly used for clips featuring sudden transitions.
