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.

…Isn’t it the same thing?

It’s obviously AI, so it pokes fun at Trump’s shameless embrace of AI misinformation in the same way it pokes at his homophobia. It’s crude, like he is; that’s the point.

Been seeing this line lately. I do think it’s a Russian internet research agency approved line for sure. I called Putin and Trump gay for each other and a bunch of hexbear accounts called it homophobic in unison.

The fediverse was bound to attract the attention to troll factories. That's why its devs need to consider making it more resilient, but unfortunately I get more of an impression they just want a second reddit.

some comments were too well coordinated to be individual users, it did sound like troll farm material.

a little of both, remember some of the "reddit Reject/bans" are also the right wing, anti-lgbt trolls too that got shadowbanned.

It ended up being a lonely kid on the spectrum who lives at home, can't drive and thinks he has a "real job" walking dogs for his book club. Sad and funny.

He refused therapy. Dbzero admins too. I'm almost as disappointed as their parents.
