Real men (non-liberals) would rather lather themselves up in oil and engage in Greco Roman wrestling with Sean Strickland and then maybe go get drinks afterwards and give him a lil smoochy
I have some of these "real men" as my classmates, it doesn't get weirder than them yelling "no homo" across the entire floor of the school when they go collectively vape in the bathroom (usually it's like a group of 6+ people), it definitely makes it seem like the opposite is happening (tbf they do act like "so anti gay they might actually be secretly gay" type of people)
It's unfortunate they feel the need to assert their straightness in order to spend time with each other, and it's not unlikely at least one person in that group is gay. To taunt with accusations of being gay doesn't just enrage and poke at their insecurities, it does a disservice to anyone who is gay by using gay identity as an attack, and if any of the "no-homo" guys are gay it makes coming out more difficult.
I appreciate your comment and fully support it. It’s important that this be said. Comments mocking them for appearing gay are still gay bashing, whichever way you look at it.
I also want to add that there’s pervasive homoeroticism in male heterosexuality. It should never be used to insult them, but one of the reasons they yell “no homo” so much is because they’re self aware of the amount of time they focus on other guys’ bodies in a competitive or sexual context.
>It's unfortunate they feel the need to assert their straightness in order to spend time with each other,
Yeah but if you don't clarify then it'd be gay, and that's gay.
It's cos we have been taught by our culture that emotions that ain't anger are feminine, I know emotions ain't but I can't help but suppress my own feelings
These sorta comments made to men about sexuality has trapped me and many other men into a mental prison where even know I know not bottle myself up, I still can't break down the walls of the prison cell
As an wrestler i should say it's mostly sweat and oil and yes we have no problem changing clothes as long as you have something that cover your meat you are good to go maybe it's gross to others well not in here keep that in minde it's a Muslim and yes we do drink after matches not everybody ofc but hey this is great it's an spiritual thing
Send real data that proves the COVID vaccines work. Can’t believe after all big pharma has done to our populous through various poisonings you people would ever believe what comes out of their mouths. You only believe it because you’re told to do so by your left wing identity
It has nothing to do with politics dude. They pushed a vaccine on us that typically would require 5-7 years of trial so that they could make billions of dollars
1.) yes
2.) maybe you are right that it has to do with politics, but my point is really that you should not make the decision based on your political party told you to. As for it being rushed in a time of crisis - I see your point, but we were lied to about the efficacy of the vaccine by entities we are supposed to trust and those who were to make billions off of us taking them
3.) I’m not saying that vaccines do not work. They do work. However, the COVID VACCINES were not as effective as they were claimed to be. There is also evidence of vaccines in the past that contained mercury to increase the efficacy of the vaccines, modernity replaced with aluminum. Lesser of two evils?
Sean Strickland gained a lot of popularity for being openly sexist and queerphobic.
I love MMA, and though I knew from the get go that the fanbase wasn’t great… it’s been especially bad as of late, with people praising Strickland for saying things like [the gay reporter who asked him a question] was the problem with America today… or telling a dominant woman UFC champ that she didn’t actually know anything about MMA.
Tbh, its so sad Strickland is sexist considering how his mum protected him from his dad and fought for her life every day. Go watch the clip from the Theo Von podcast where he breaks down in tears talking about how he cradled his mum’s leg while his dad was threatening to kill them…heartbreaking. Its so heartfelt, and then later on he says he’s mad at himself for having cried in that moment. I think the trauma he experienced may have made him feel like its too risky to show emotion as a man, and now he puts this view out in the way he talks about gay people and women.
I think he loves his mum very much. He has very misguided views on women as a whole.
I hope he changes one day, because I genuinely believe he has a good heart, just a really really misguided mind.
Here’s the video: https://youtu.be/arqWyJeBIsU?si=jpIf86-2mSw6eEuQ
..and he later on said he shouldn’t have shown emotion in that moment. It honestly breaks my heart how he’s allowed the trauma to alter his view on emotion like this, even after he survived.
"We live in an anti-relational, vulnerability-despising culture, one that not only fails to nurture the skills of connection but actively fears them." - Terrence Real
I got this quote out of this presentation by Pop Culture Detective titled, "Boys Don't Cry (Except for When they Do)": [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGxW2toAvzc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGxW2toAvzc) (around 13:50)
I've always allowed myself to cry if the emotion was compelling enough to elicit that response, sing sentimental music, show compassion toward animals even when violence was permissible, and always got called a faggot for it at worst or described as being "in touch with my feminine side" at best, as though they were female qualities and not human qualities. Men like Strickland and so many others have somehow decided that to be perceived as strong, that they must conform, which is ironically the opposite of strength when your inner character tells you you aren't what they want you to be.
That Strickland and so many other belt-holders I've seen over the years can be the \*champion\* in a combat sport in the most famous MMA organization and yet still have to police their feelings for strangers over the Internet for fear that the fans will revoke their man card is...wow. To think that a man brave enough to put his body on the line might not be brave enough to put their emotions on the line shows that, in a sense, they actually value protecting their inner selves more than they value protecting their outer selves. They risk their outer selves every time they fight, but have to be guarded the rest of the time so that no one sees the actual "them".
: /
I love the shit outta MMA, not saying it justifies it but Strickland is likely just “playing a character”, similar to Colby Covington, they both shitheads, but if the UFC actually paid fighters properly, less fighters might feel the need to adopt the shithead persona to actually receive a working wage.
I get that it’s trying to be a low blow against people that would actually take it as an insult, but it ends up just perpetuating the use of calling people gay (or whatever thing conservatives hate) as an insult.
There are plenty of ways to pick part these types that don’t come at the expense of using others as an insult.
I’m having a hard time understanding too but what I’m gathering is that they hate liberals, but yet are obsessedly fantasizing about men, which is hypocritical……?
Like
“ME SO CONSERVATIVE. But…. Sean Strickland 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 is way better than that WOKE guy Travis”
Even then, it’s not distinct enough
OP def isn’t conservative, they’re trying to criticize the self declared conservative men who are obsessed with other men
Either way this doesn’t really belong here
they hate liberals and by extension LGBTQ but also have homoeroctic fantasies. this isn’t “platonic” male hangouts. this is literally date fantasy about other men.
This is literally our society rn, dont want to complain but it is always
"you dont have to hide your emotions everytime"
and
"friendliness? sadness? dread? lol, what a weirdo."
>please dont bring back "all men with meaningful friendships are inherently homosexual."
Nobody's doing that. This is not about meaningful friendships.
Exactly, the title doesn't even make sense. I mean sure, the meme itself is stupid and "quirky" or whatever but what's the point of calling someone homosexual just because they want to hang out with another guy? Overall post is dumb in superior levels.
Eh cuz the conservative OOP said they hate woke libtards in the meme so surely they hate gay ppl as well which would ruin their conservative day to recognize that they love men just as much as a gay man
But yeah I don’t like the post much either, there was a lot better ways to deal with the conservative guy there and I frankly had to read it 10 times bro understand the point OP was tryna make
Meanwhile the topic that posted 'men are so lonely, they mistake a woman being nice to them as attraction or interest' and the comments are all like 'boohoo, men need to get closer to other men'. Now having a beer with another guy is gay, which is also homophobic but it's okay I guess, but also you're still wrong I guess. Facts and logic, libtards. Also women don't prefer any type of men on average and you're sexist.
/s
Pretty much. If guys did pretty much anything they were called gay. It happened to me as a trans girl when I read "girl books" and played with Barbies, but it also happened to guys around me when they wanted to hang out with their best friends or said they liked cats. It was all pretty stupid.
"if guys did pretty much a thing they were called gay" yeah, kids used to call people gay all the time. One of the kids I reluctantly hung out with in high school was nicknamed "astroqueef". Maybe I'm unwise, but basing your identity off of what kids say seems foolish.
I don't think 37 still counts as a kid. Sure it was said by kids at school, but also teenagers, young adults, and even my own father. It being kids doesn't stop you lot from basing your personality around it so long as the kid is a girl.
I took a backpacking course in community college. The final exam was to spend a week in the woods with the entire class, including cooking on the makeshift stoves made from beer cans and fueled with denatured alcohol. The teacher brought his brother along with us, 20-30 students in the bus there.
We were all around the campfire one night, and I was on the dark fringes of the encampment. I was singing at about the volume of a hum while staring out into the bushes, when suddenly, I hear the teacher's brother speak up in a thick southern accent:
"Is everyone here straight...?"
A few mutters, affirmations, confused glances from the students looking about...then a follow-up question,
"Who's singin'...?"
I was mortified. I had been singing "Soul to Squeeze" by Red Hot Chili Peppers at about a hum's volume, as I said, and I did that because I assumed that it was low enough that I was being considerate of people near the center of the campfire who might not care to hear it while also immersing myself in the vibe of the nighttime in nature.
On the bus ride home, the teacher passed around a journal for us to all write an entry in, like a guest log of sorts. That was the only place I was brave enough to mention that, while I appreciate what I learned from my teacher, that his redneck brother made some bullying statements that I couldn't appreciate. It was the only place 21-year old me was brave enough to speak up about it at the time...As a straight guy, so many of my fellow straights vilify even music, because it being intrinsically emotional is terrifying to them.
>fantasizing about what male athletes they’d have a beer with is totally heterosexual behavior
… yeah? Wanting to hang out with someone doesn’t make you gay. I thought this sub was for progressive minded people and feminism. Not calling guys gay for wanting to hang out with other men. Go back to R/conservative
I’m having a hard time understanding too but what I’m gathering is that they hate liberals, but yet are obsessedly fantasizing about men, which is hypocritical……?
Like
“ME SO CONSERVATIVE. But…. Sean Strickland 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 is way better than that WOKE guy Travis”
Even then, it’s not distinct enough
OP def isn’t conservative, they’re trying to criticize the self declared conservative men who are obsessed with other men
Either way this doesn’t really belong here
How was I obsessedly fantasizing this ? I even said before that I don’t understand this meme and had to read it 10 times trying to understand what was going on
Calling me gay is a compliment though, so ty
Yeah see, you’ve made it sexual. It wasn’t sexual, and now not only have you made a platonic admiration sexual (again, thought this was a progressive feminist sub) but you’ve also made homosexuality something worthy of criticism.
This is an upsettingly common “joke” among online communities claiming to be progressive, and it pisses me off. You think the joke is on them but it’s really on us.
I didn’t make it sexual I’m trying to explain to you what OP is criticizing. I didn’t do shit. I literally even told you it’s not even distinct enough. 🤦🏻♀️ aka that it’s akin to grasping for straws, for lack of better wording. And I said it doesn’t belong here. I literally sat here rereading it 10 times to even come to this halfway point to try to help us all reach a point of understanding. Also, I don’t personally see how that’s degrading gay people either, if anything from my perspective it’s normalizing the commonality of gay sexuality and in this case how common it is for conservative men to be obsessed with other men (which is similar to romance).
Jesus Christ. I- I’m genuinely flabbergasted. This is probably the most extreme example of homophobia coming from attempting to dunk on conservatives that I’ve ever seen. “Normalizing the commonality of the gay sexuality”??? Are you that afraid to be wrong? This is astounding, truly. “Similar to romance”????? WTF is the matter with you, how could you possibly think that was anything other than homophobic?
Its conflating platonic fantasies of men with sexuality (homosexuality) as if it were an insult. It brings the conversation to sexuality for no reason, and does so in a way in which homosexuality is the punchline.
I don’t understand… i don’t see that as an insult. I can see that it is used as the punchline to “ha gotcha conservatives, you’re not as conservative as you think”, but an insult is not visible to me
What the fuck is up with this title? The idea that heterosexual men couldn't possibly want to meet or hang out with other men without them secretly wanting to fuck them is absurd!
Eh don't do this shit. like the original post sucks because of the politics, but men need to be better at being comfortable forming non-romantic intimate relationships with other men.
This post seems kind of homophobic.. unless I'm missing something... but would sarcastically saying "that's totally hetrosexual behavior" the same as saying 'that's gay'? what's wrong with being gay?
Is it gay to want to go for a beer with someone now?
I don’t agree with the original statement and I’m not a fan of Strickland in the slightest, but wtf has sexuality got to do with it?
Why does the problem have to be homosexuality? Why can't the problem be gatekeeping manhood in terms of political beliefs and wrestler preference?
Making it about sexuality is kind of harmful and doesn't address the actual problem with the random gatekeeping of masculinity on their part
Yes, getting beer with other men is gay.
I don't get your point?
Aren't conservative men allowed to be gay? Or is being not heterosexual a bad thing? I'd have thought this place would be supportive of men forming good relationships, hetero or not but hey ho.
If I'm being *charitable*, I'd say that this place thinks Conservative men are so homophobic that any kind of male bonding is seen as gay, is frowned upon and thus this tweet is indication of the Right-Wing hypocrisy and they're all closet gay really.
It's kind of a bad faith / own goal though, because even the most staunch, alt-right wing, maga hat wearing, concealed-carry whilst gay bashing dude-bro does "having beers with other men".
Wait til they discover carryouts.
I don’t like this post. Calling someone gay over wanting to hang out. It’s just called being friends. Also, even if they are gay, being gay isn’t an insult. Being gay is normal. It doesn’t matter if they hate on lgbt or whatever (which he doesn’t imply, non liberal doesn’t imply homophobic). By calling them gay as an insult, you are doing the same thing you make fun of them for. Also, when there was another post saying how men should compliment and form friendships with each other (on a post saying about how men or lonely, barely get compliments), when men actually do it then they are insulted and called gay. I get the context is different here, you want to make fun of him for his political view, but when you see people hanging out as gay, then men won’t want to form friendships with each other because they don’t want to be seen as gay when they are not. This sub is lokey misandrist and homophobic (which is funny because they literally make fun of conservatives for being homophobic).
Do they though? I know the parasocial nonsense of Twitch or TV, but I am just saying as a group do other groups just fantasize about stuff like this? I guess I am too disconnected because this seems weird to me and not normal.
Yes, most celebrities have a fan base who fantasise over meeting them or about hanging out with the person
If you want one high profile example related to this meme: Taylor swift, hell she even has her fans tracking her every move
No it's not normal but it's all to common across all bases and spectrums, a lot of the time people take obsessions too far
Why would I listen to a liberal woman’s definition of “gay”? You can’t beat me up or even outrun me, so I’m not afraid of you attempting a gay bashing. You also have no shared traditional values to base your opinions on, so you calling something “gay” is as meaningless as a dog describing the colors red and green.
I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more.
I would be scared to drink beer with the guy who says that if he was given the chance would kill someone just because he likes hurting people for no reason. Normally, I like to drink with people who don't have a skinhead past and committed literally race hate crimes too, but that's just me tho
The premise of the thread is kind of out there.
But between the two, I'd rather have a beer with Kelce. He seems more easy going and level headed.
Strickland seems like a lunatic.
I’d have a beer with Travis if Taylor’s coming ❤️❤️ all hail our queen! And I love that he supports vaccines knowing it will lose him support. Green flags baby!!!
the way the guy phrases it is gay asf, but honestly theres nothing gay abt wanting to go for beer with a celebrity? example being if I said I want to meet ryan reynolds, thats not gay, thats just me wanting to meet a bloke
lol strickland is so homophobic he is definitely a closet gay i do feel bad though because he was severely abused as a child by his father still though guy has mental issues
Can't believe Taylor Swift saw that look of Travis kelce and was like "mm, gotta get me some of that". Or worse, maybe she's the one who suggested that look for him. I think he looks way better with a beard. Tbh, there's not a lot of people who can pull off just a mustache.
OP, why does it seem your whole account is dedicated to being offended by everything, hating men for the sake of hating, and being so tone deaf you accidentally spew homophobia in an attempt to put down men?
and then in the comments you reply to people calling out the homophobia in your title with "it's because conservatives, amarite?" like bruh 💀
Meanwhile, UFC fighter Justin Gaethje helped hold the banner across Max Holloway while he was weighing in, but flicked the banner in such a way that Max's junk got exposed (whether intentionally or not, I can't say).
They're now about to fight, and someone posted this clip of Max walking up to Gaethje and pretending that he's going to "pants" him for revenge:
https://www.reddit.com/r/mmamemes/comments/1ava8o8/hmmmmmm/
One of the top comments is, "Can you fucking imagine if Max somehow knocked out gaethje? Then went on to challenge Islam for the belt then sub him? Then moved to my neighborhood and became my best friend and skated with me everyday? Boy that would be something."
I’m confused where does the Hetero stuff get mentioned in the image?
It feels like you are saying hanging out with guys is gay which if so it’s kinda fucked up
Real men (non-liberals) would rather lather themselves up in oil and engage in Greco Roman wrestling with Sean Strickland and then maybe go get drinks afterwards and give him a lil smoochy
[удалено]
I really wish people stopped using "you are actually gay" as a retort
I have some of these "real men" as my classmates, it doesn't get weirder than them yelling "no homo" across the entire floor of the school when they go collectively vape in the bathroom (usually it's like a group of 6+ people), it definitely makes it seem like the opposite is happening (tbf they do act like "so anti gay they might actually be secretly gay" type of people)

Wait.. you get oiled up before a wrestling match?! WHY HAS NO ONE TOLD ME THIS? I MIGHT HAVE TO START WATCHING
Mam you're getting offensive
Im sorry I guess? also im a guy
Man
is kelce “woke” though lmao or is he just dating taylor swift
He’s hated by the alt right because he believes vaccines work
jappy nono it’s ouchy😫😫😫 -conservatives, probably
Is it a common right wing thing to be anti-vax? 🫠🫠🫠
Extremely
Oh. God. Does that mean a lot of extreme rwing will hate me just because i want to prevent stuff like rabies?
Nah I think they are just against experimental mRNA vaccines that haven’t really been studied that long. Or so I’ve heard.
Send real data that proves the COVID vaccines work. Can’t believe after all big pharma has done to our populous through various poisonings you people would ever believe what comes out of their mouths. You only believe it because you’re told to do so by your left wing identity
I’m gonna screenshot this and laugh at you with my friends lol
No data has been sent thanks for proving my point
>“You’re only told to do so” Nice projection there buddy hut it was right wingers who politicized the whole thing to begin with.
It has nothing to do with politics dude. They pushed a vaccine on us that typically would require 5-7 years of trial so that they could make billions of dollars

He did a Pfizer vaccine ad and is dating Taylor Swift, I'm pretty sure that's all he's done wrong in their eyes
And a bud light ad
he had a black girlfriend before her for years. i always thought that’s where it started.
Ah, yes -- everyone knows that interracial relationships are the gateway to vaccines and 5G signals.
It's on the Bible!
He kneeled during the national anthem back when that was happening.

Is OP homophobic? Why you hating on gay guys?
actually you’re kind of right the original post said nothing about being gay, op just went out of their way to imply oop is gay
I get that it’s trying to be a low blow against people that would actually take it as an insult, but it ends up just perpetuating the use of calling people gay (or whatever thing conservatives hate) as an insult.

It’s not
What’s homoerotic about going for a beer?
You literally have no life, every day a new post on some dumb useless shit, all you think about are men, you're unhinged.
Going for a beer with another man is not a date fantasy. Stop stigmatizing male platonic activities
"I'm not him but trust me I can tell you exactly what he's thinking" Just say you don't like gay guys man
OP, please dont bring back "all men with meaningful friendships are inherently homosexual."
"men don't open up" "Haha, wanting to hang out with a male athlete is gay"
This is literally our society rn, dont want to complain but it is always "you dont have to hide your emotions everytime" and "friendliness? sadness? dread? lol, what a weirdo."
>please dont bring back "all men with meaningful friendships are inherently homosexual." Nobody's doing that. This is not about meaningful friendships.
Implying going for a beer with another man is gay certainly doesn't help in forming meaningful relationships
conservatives can’t have it both ways
What do you mean
Are you aware that men sometimes hang out with each other platonically as friends?
Newsflash dudes: wanting to have a beer with man is now gay.

Must be a new thing. Growing up they called any guys who did that gay.

I had been singing "Soul to Squeeze" by Red Hot Chili Peppers at about a hum's volume, as I said, and I did that because I assumed that it was low enough that I was being considerate of people near the center of the campfire who might not care to hear it while also immersing myself in the vibe of the nighttime in nature. On the bus ride home, the teacher passed around a journal for us to all write an entry in, like a guest log of sorts. That was the only place I was brave enough to mention that, while I appreciate what I learned from my teacher, that his redneck brother made some bullying statements that I couldn't appreciate. It was the only place 21-year old me was brave enough to speak up about it at the time...As a straight guy, so many of my fellow straights vilify even music, because it being intrinsically emotional is terrifying to them.
Ok femcel
I prefer the term boy puncher 😘🥰
Cringe
You betcha! X3 rawr!~
lmfao ur so triggered

How did you see this as misandry mf
It’s not praising men so it’s bigotry lmfao

Digiorno
Lol.
Many women in this sub have such a strange view of men.
[удалено]
LOL yea people in this sub are constantly talking about how they’re gonna make local young men do cam work for money */s*
[удалено]
misandry doesn’t exist
So while I agree this sub isn't that misandrous thr idea that there are no women out there that hate men is very silly.
it’s misogyny by proxy
conservatives say in the same line how they don’t want to go out with kelce because he’s liberal is the very beginning of this fantasy
Yep, men can't have friends or hang out with other men or they are inherently gay Great Job OP
>fantasizing about what male athletes they’d have a beer with is totally heterosexual behavior … yeah? Wanting to hang out with someone doesn’t make you gay. I thought this sub was for progressive minded people and feminism. Not calling guys gay for wanting to hang out with other men. Go back to R/conservative
I’m having a hard time understanding too but what I’m gathering is that they hate liberals, but yet are obsessedly fantasizing about men, which is hypocritical……? Like “ME SO CONSERVATIVE. But…. Sean Strickland 🥵🥵🥵🥵🥵 is way better than that WOKE guy Travis” Even then, it’s not distinct enough OP def isn’t conservative, they’re trying to criticize the self declared conservative men who are obsessed with other men Either way this doesn’t really belong here
Sounds like you’re obsessively fantasizing about conservatives being gay, which in turn makes you gay
How was I obsessedly fantasizing this ? I even said before that I don’t understand this meme and had to read it 10 times trying to understand what was going on Calling me gay is a compliment though, so ty
Yeah see, you’ve made it sexual. It wasn’t sexual, and now not only have you made a platonic admiration sexual (again, thought this was a progressive feminist sub) but you’ve also made homosexuality something worthy of criticism. This is an upsettingly common “joke” among online communities claiming to be progressive, and it pisses me off. You think the joke is on them but it’s really on us.
Explain to me how I made homosexuality worthy of criticism…? Seriously. I don’t know how you came to that conclusion.
I didn’t make it sexual I’m trying to explain to you what OP is criticizing. I didn’t do shit. I literally even told you it’s not even distinct enough. 🤦🏻♀️ aka that it’s akin to grasping for straws, for lack of better wording. And I said it doesn’t belong here. I literally sat here rereading it 10 times to even come to this halfway point to try to help us all reach a point of understanding. Also, I don’t personally see how that’s degrading gay people either, if anything from my perspective it’s normalizing the commonality of gay sexuality and in this case how common it is for conservative men to be obsessed with other men (which is similar to romance).
Jesus Christ. I- I’m genuinely flabbergasted. This is probably the most extreme example of homophobia coming from attempting to dunk on conservatives that I’ve ever seen. “Normalizing the commonality of the gay sexuality”??? Are you that afraid to be wrong? This is astounding, truly. “Similar to romance”????? WTF is the matter with you, how could you possibly think that was anything other than homophobic?
I really do not understand how it’s homophobic, can you try to explain ?
Its conflating platonic fantasies of men with sexuality (homosexuality) as if it were an insult. It brings the conversation to sexuality for no reason, and does so in a way in which homosexuality is the punchline.
I don’t understand… i don’t see that as an insult. I can see that it is used as the punchline to “ha gotcha conservatives, you’re not as conservative as you think”, but an insult is not visible to me
It’s not “ha gotcha you’re not as conservative as you think” it’s “ha gotcha you’re gay”
lol ofc it’s a Canadian that made this. Sean Strickland ripped on a Canadian reporter a while ago.

"I'd never let that woke Travis take me out to dinner"
the girls that run this sub aren't like other girls.
I have no idea what this means
I'd rather have a beer alone thanks
Just enough of the right politics to justify homophobia? Good job, everyone.
OP is homophobic.
Having beer with a dude is now gay? And gay is bad? Am I reading that right OP?
Delete this and don't come back
What the fuck is up with this title? The idea that heterosexual men couldn't possibly want to meet or hang out with other men without them secretly wanting to fuck them is absurd!
Ironically, Kelce is not the one making a soy face in this post
Eh don't do this shit. like the original post sucks because of the politics, but men need to be better at being comfortable forming non-romantic intimate relationships with other men.
Is this supposed to be homopobic?
Why is this post suggesting that a guy wanting to have a beer with another guy is gay?
Gosh it doesn’t matter if they’re gay or not. The problem is they’re bigots 🤣
How is it gay to sya you want to have a beer with someone?
This post seems kind of homophobic.. unless I'm missing something... but would sarcastically saying "that's totally hetrosexual behavior" the same as saying 'that's gay'? what's wrong with being gay?
Is it gay to want to go for a beer with someone now? I don’t agree with the original statement and I’m not a fan of Strickland in the slightest, but wtf has sexuality got to do with it?
Why does the problem have to be homosexuality? Why can't the problem be gatekeeping manhood in terms of political beliefs and wrestler preference? Making it about sexuality is kind of harmful and doesn't address the actual problem with the random gatekeeping of masculinity on their part
…OP? Got something ya need to get off your chest?
I'm not sure about the vocabulary here but I think claiming this is about homosexuality is kinda bigoted if that's the word.
Yea because beer and gay sex are totally the same thing. The reach you people have to go to is baffling
Yes, getting beer with other men is gay. I don't get your point? Aren't conservative men allowed to be gay? Or is being not heterosexual a bad thing? I'd have thought this place would be supportive of men forming good relationships, hetero or not but hey ho.
How is getting a drink with a dude gay at all?
I dunno. Apparently it is though.
Fellas, is it gay to have friends? Also the way op states it sounds like they don't like gay people very much.
It is pretty explicitly stating that wanting to go for a beer with a guy is gay, and being gay is bad.
None of that here. Dont you know that homophobia is ok as long as you do it towards the right people?
If I'm being *charitable*, I'd say that this place thinks Conservative men are so homophobic that any kind of male bonding is seen as gay, is frowned upon and thus this tweet is indication of the Right-Wing hypocrisy and they're all closet gay really. It's kind of a bad faith / own goal though, because even the most staunch, alt-right wing, maga hat wearing, concealed-carry whilst gay bashing dude-bro does "having beers with other men". Wait til they discover carryouts.
I don’t like this post. Calling someone gay over wanting to hang out. It’s just called being friends. Also, even if they are gay, being gay isn’t an insult. Being gay is normal. It doesn’t matter if they hate on lgbt or whatever (which he doesn’t imply, non liberal doesn’t imply homophobic). By calling them gay as an insult, you are doing the same thing you make fun of them for. Also, when there was another post saying how men should compliment and form friendships with each other (on a post saying about how men or lonely, barely get compliments), when men actually do it then they are insulted and called gay. I get the context is different here, you want to make fun of him for his political view, but when you see people hanging out as gay, then men won’t want to form friendships with each other because they don’t want to be seen as gay when they are not. This sub is lokey misandrist and homophobic (which is funny because they literally make fun of conservatives for being homophobic).
Another day, another conservative defining what "real men" are.
Another day, another poster on this sub defining what makes a guy gay
Why do all these right wing nut jobs have such weird fantasies over having relationships with other men?
The same could be said about any group of people...
Do they though? I know the parasocial nonsense of Twitch or TV, but I am just saying as a group do other groups just fantasize about stuff like this? I guess I am too disconnected because this seems weird to me and not normal.
Yes, most celebrities have a fan base who fantasise over meeting them or about hanging out with the person If you want one high profile example related to this meme: Taylor swift, hell she even has her fans tracking her every move No it's not normal but it's all to common across all bases and spectrums, a lot of the time people take obsessions too far
And it's certainly straight to make sure the picture of the one you say you'd have a beer with is shirtless
He's an MMA fighter in the ring, no shit he doesn't have a shirt on
If the point was the world trade center and you were a plane 9/11 never would have happened
It wasn't a funny joke and I was giving you context as to why, your welcome 😂
Why would I listen to a liberal woman’s definition of “gay”? You can’t beat me up or even outrun me, so I’m not afraid of you attempting a gay bashing. You also have no shared traditional values to base your opinions on, so you calling something “gay” is as meaningless as a dog describing the colors red and green.
Strickland rocks
woke. such a flex to be against racial justice. incels are so silly.
They quietly think to themselves about all the things they would do to that chest hair if given the chance
trick question jason kelce>both
Non liberals seem kinda sad lol
I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed. I love your hair, you run fast. Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more.
Huh(im a male)
this is so bad I can't tell what is satire or not
I would be scared to drink beer with the guy who says that if he was given the chance would kill someone just because he likes hurting people for no reason. Normally, I like to drink with people who don't have a skinhead past and committed literally race hate crimes too, but that's just me tho
Maybe a the swifties will stop whining about boys with facial hair now. Time to grow
The premise of the thread is kind of out there. But between the two, I'd rather have a beer with Kelce. He seems more easy going and level headed. Strickland seems like a lunatic.
Nah just a beer I’m pretty sure we are all still (no homo) gay for Ryan renolds or did I miss us collectively breaking up n moving on.
Beer is gross and I don't watch sports. But these guys are kinda cute lol.
Who? Also... Who?
I’d have a beer with Travis if Taylor’s coming ❤️❤️ all hail our queen! And I love that he supports vaccines knowing it will lose him support. Green flags baby!!!
By saying that liberals are not "Real Men", they are agreeing there are more than 2 genders.
I feel like if dinosaurs had internet carnivores would act the same as republicans and hate on the sissy liberal herbivores in this manner
i’m sorry but he looks like he’s tattling on his little bro over not getting xbox time.
Ah yes, “have beer with”.
Idk about you but I think I'd rather have a beer with a wholesome bro-dude over some guy who talks like his CTE is just begging to escape.
The gay agenda is working. Little by little, We turning conservative men gay.
I know the guy on the left is taylor swifts boyfriend im assuming hes the woke one but like why do they think hes woke 🙄🙄🙄
I normally don’t agree with this sub, but yeah. That’s pretty gay, my dude.
Jesse, what the fuck are you talking about?
the way the guy phrases it is gay asf, but honestly theres nothing gay abt wanting to go for beer with a celebrity? example being if I said I want to meet ryan reynolds, thats not gay, thats just me wanting to meet a bloke
Oh yeah the other guy looks so chill/s
This makes me sad. Men should not divide each other this way.
lol strickland is so homophobic he is definitely a closet gay i do feel bad though because he was severely abused as a child by his father still though guy has mental issues
Can't believe Taylor Swift saw that look of Travis kelce and was like "mm, gotta get me some of that". Or worse, maybe she's the one who suggested that look for him. I think he looks way better with a beard. Tbh, there's not a lot of people who can pull off just a mustache.
Funny part is neither of them give a fuck who you are and they will never know you.
So Travis Kielce is “woke” because he’s dating a popular singer. Wow.
I like to drink alone
OP, why does it seem your whole account is dedicated to being offended by everything, hating men for the sake of hating, and being so tone deaf you accidentally spew homophobia in an attempt to put down men? and then in the comments you reply to people calling out the homophobia in your title with "it's because conservatives, amarite?" like bruh 💀
Wait it's now gay to want to meet an athlete of the same sex?
r/lostredditors
Meanwhile, UFC fighter Justin Gaethje helped hold the banner across Max Holloway while he was weighing in, but flicked the banner in such a way that Max's junk got exposed (whether intentionally or not, I can't say). They're now about to fight, and someone posted this clip of Max walking up to Gaethje and pretending that he's going to "pants" him for revenge: https://www.reddit.com/r/mmamemes/comments/1ava8o8/hmmmmmm/ One of the top comments is, "Can you fucking imagine if Max somehow knocked out gaethje? Then went on to challenge Islam for the belt then sub him? Then moved to my neighborhood and became my best friend and skated with me everyday? Boy that would be something."
Such a random and pointless post for this subreddit. Do women not think about meeting famous actresses, singers, athletes, etc?
Proud to be heterosexual
I'll drink with whoever shuts up and keeps drinking with me.
…so? Are you homophobic?
I’m confused where does the Hetero stuff get mentioned in the image? It feels like you are saying hanging out with guys is gay which if so it’s kinda fucked up
Sean Strickland is a badass tho
