The “bully torments gay kid because they’re secretly gay themselves” trope is and will always be homophobic. It’s a trope het people use to justify homophobic bullism by pushing the fault on gay people themselves and to avoid acknowledging the terrible reality many gay teenagers go through in their lives. Not only that, but it also frames closeted gay people as violent abusers.
It is and will always be bad.
