Hmmm that sounds pretty gay you guys

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 25 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

that is the most offhand justification for being gay ever

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 6 points 5 hours ago

But still a valid justification for being gay. And I'd hazard it's a requirement that you find men far more attractive than women. Because if you don't, then you are merely Bi, (and might have the best of all worlds-- we need more science on that I think).

Remember how society did that to Michael? This is toxic masculinity doing this to gay men.

Edit: the expectations, the racism, the surgeries.

[–] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 25 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

The argument about birds is ignorant because of basic behaviour ecology. Arguing from Zahavis handicap hypothesis males display strength by giving themselves a handicap. Being highly visible, lumbered with pointless feathers.

Females are camouflaged since they often are the ones on the nest.

[–] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 3 points 4 hours ago

Yeah, evolutionarily, the more conspicuous male birds drew away predators that would have otherwise attacked the nest. Thus making it more likely their offspring survived.

[–] Magnum@infosec.pub 3 points 5 hours ago

Hehe that's pretty gey

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 19 points 8 hours ago

"I'm not gay, its perfectly natural and totally hetro-masculine to get a boner over chiseled, glistening men.. Its just science!"

[–] guy@piefed.social 21 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

Thought this was a shitpost at first

[–] kat_angstrom@lemmy.world 2 points 4 hours ago

All hot takes are shitposts now

[–] Kazumara@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

So stupid. Arguing from a patriarchal society's beauty standards and not even noticing.

[–] Escape13@slrpnk.net 1 points 4 hours ago

So stupid paying any attention to that corpse who’s known for being really good at a video game and ragebait

[–] peetabix@sh.itjust.works 36 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I'm not gay but the man i sleep with is.

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 11 points 10 hours ago

Studies have shown that at least half of all homosexual are gay.

[–] WabiSaaby@lemmy.wtf 8 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Well that's not very cherrypicked at all.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

Help me understand your point... wouldn't posting any individual tweet by a person be considered 'cherrypicking' by your definition?

Like yeah, of course they're posting the tweet with the funny/stupid thing in it. This is a meme community.

Are you really going to defend asmongold on lemmy? Sure you want to do that?

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 9 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

Historically, men did have to be pretty and capable for woman to chose them, so they dance, sing, apply make up to look pretty so they're picked by women for mating. But the incapable men of patriarchal society made women do makeup so they can pick and choose women like they're shopping. Woman don't need makeup to look pretty, it's the men that should be.

[–] Karl@literature.cafe 4 points 5 hours ago

No one should be, honestly. We can all just fuck each other based on personality

[–] iuseasahibtw@ani.social 23 points 13 hours ago

Just come out the closet guys, but make sure to make it a stream goal first 🤣🤣🤣

[–] Wataba@sh.itjust.works 13 points 14 hours ago

Coming from the beady-eyed trash rodent, that means nothing anyway.

[–] takeda@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 16 hours ago

"no homo, but I like dudes"

[–] plyth@feddit.org 13 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

Isn't this just tongue-in-cheek?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 4 hours ago

Considering the source, I doubt it.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 28 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

Something's definitely in some cheek

[–] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)
[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 6 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Well... there isn't much of a sound... More like a hum

[–] espentan@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

Like from like..let's say a motorboat?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 164 points 23 hours ago (4 children)

These two really need to just kiss already.

[–] some_guy 16 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

The male peacock is the gayest bird with all those fancy feathers.

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 74 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This isn't me being gay, it's science

It can also be you being ultra, super-duper, neon pink gay.

[–] HeHoXa@lemmy.zip 1 points 4 hours ago
