It's truly ever-present. If you ask them why this is "funny," they tie themselves into pretzels trying to avoid the obvious, humor based on assumed shame and degradation, rooted in misogyny and homophobia.
Slop.

No no you see it's not homophobic, it's just that Trump and Putin and Elon and Xi and [insert hate target of the week] really don't like Gays so if we portray them as gay they'll be really mad!
It's exhausting dealing with these people.
It was never taken off. They've been doing this before Trump kissing Putin. It was Cheney and Bush.
4 years of this shit
she has too much time in her hands to paint this travesty. Of all things to paint? Ugh
I'm sure depicting a burning pride flag will really show how much I respect the gays
What's kind of weird to me about it is that 'gay' stopped being slang for 'bad' or 'lame' or just generally degrading almost a decade ago (?) maybe more, even in gaming afaik. It just fell out of the lexicon
But we're doing 'depictions of homosexual act' to mean the same thing?
These people are stupid
the gamer community is split on whether they use harder slurs or just not do it anymore, but any of it has little bearing on hegemonic homophobia that's just been rebranded as "well the people depicted would hate it so it's not me being homophobic but them"
Blatant homophobia
Doesn't surprise me. She's a marketing person mostly and all her art is 'might as well be AI' post-pop-art celebrity garbage. I've come across her work before via a work project unfortunately.
Quite a lot of pushback in the comments section over on which is a surprise
More like I'd'a made another draft before painting
I expect nothing less, but they always surprise me
