y’all are all for men rejecting traditional gender roles and holding hands with their friends and shit but that moment men actually DO that y’all call them gay and ship them together so don’t try and say that “‘society”’ is the only thing fucked up here

If I see one more of those kinds of things as “”“"evidence”“”“ that a celebrity/youtuber/that-shy-boy-in-your-class isn’t straight I’m going to scream, because 1) please allow boys and men platonic affection this is the entire problem and 2) yeah maybe they are but if you’re right that’s just called outing someone and isn’t cool

Someone finally said it

the issue is not that people call them gay for showing platonic affection, it’s that men are so offended that they could be mistakened as gay that they deny themselves of emotional support to prove their heterosexuality.

shipping real people or outting them in any way is disgusting, but don’t act like it’s not men’s own homophobia that’s preventing them from forming deeper attachment to other men. you need to get to the root of the problem.

and it’s not like people don’t make assumptions or ask questions when straight people show affection platonically. why is it offensive when it’s two men?

Yeah sorry but the way to fix this problem is to remove the stigma around being gay because you fucking losers never complain about ppl are mistaken for a straight couple. get back to me when I can hug girls without being asked if we’re dating and maybe I’ll let you focus on straight men showing platonic affection to each other.

Tbh just say you want a new way to excuse straight men’s homophobia and go?
