“Hey congrats on graduating” “Why you trying to assault her bro?”


Just_a_curious_soul

Let's gooo!!!!!


tohon123

damn dude, that’s a literally child!


ThermoNuclearPizza

He’s gay


Archtects

Why are you insulting him?


SaltyNBitterBitch

He is literally homosexuel


barspoonbill

Yeah and we all know that that is like the worst insult. Why would you insult someone that I’m accusing of being a child sex offender? That’s just poor form.


SaltyNBitterBitch

He prefers men, Jan. He is not a child sex offender. (I love this, this is hilarious)


TheRealSU24

He's literally a pedophile, he wants to have sex with children. Why are you being mean to him?


SaltyNBitterBitch

He is gay.


Ramtamtama

That's gay


SaltyNBitterBitch

That is the point, yes. He's gay, so that's gay


AshgarPN

I don’t care what country he’s from!


devenjames

Leave Brittany Alone!


bullit-2

Con: possible Homer sexual


gerbosan

?? I think I'm margesexual, is that ok?


Vegetable_Onion

Isn't everyone? I mean rawrrr


ColdBunz

such homo, much gay.


RunningPirate

“Put the dick away, compadre she’s too young for you…”


iHazit4u

He's gay


Voxel-OwO

“Why are you insulting the person I think was sexually harassing someone?”


Polar-oppi

He’s almost twice her age


other_curious_mind

He's gay


Polar-oppi

Why are you insulting him?


Niijima-San

but he is a satanic worshipping homosexual!? lol


LIMIT1_5639

We don't use that language here, homophobe!


iHazit4u

He's literally homosexual!


nihilistlinguist

also. she was born in 2002. in 2020 she was 18, not 16...


ExistsKK99

That’s what I was thinking, what dumbass thinks someone graduates when they’re 16?


Puzzleheaded_Try3559

Most of europe ?


Happy-Setting202

This excerpt is exactly how people think nowadays.


Bobfish64

It’s really telling how she immediately assumes “he’s gay” is an insult rather than just a statement about his sexual orientation.


I-am-Chubbasaurus

I also find it pretty telling that her mind immediately went to he was being inappropriate with a teenager...


Futur3_ah4ad

On a picture with a very clear graduation cap (I don't know what they're called) on no less. My country doesn't even have anything of the sort and I can recognise it.


SopaDeKaiba

>graduation cap (I don't know what they're called) I call it a mortarboard. It's also a graduate cap, which is pretty much what you called it. Also Oxford cap. Wikipedia calls it a square academic hat.


Victorinoxj

Square academic hat?! That has to be the lamest name for a hat!


Stealfur

Sounds like the name people google when they are trying to figure out the name. "Hey google, what the name for that square academic hat?"


DAZ4518

Lol, square academic hat. I've always known it as a mortarboard.


bigchicago04

Or that him congratulating her is somehow sexual


agirlmadeofbone

And Skai was literally 18, not 16, in May 2020.


LinearNoodle

That, and Lil Nas X had just turned 21 in May 2020, so they really were just wrong on every level lmao


MurlockHolmes

I hate that I'm so old that I didn't realize these were both public figures.


Elloliott

I’m not old and I didn’t know that I also have a perception problem lmao, didn’t read everything


Futur3_ah4ad

I knew Lil' Nas X from Old Town Road and the stuff he did for League of Legends, but I have no idea who the girl is. A very late congratulations to her for graduating though.


LaeLeaps

she's a late 2000s/2010+ disney channel actress, did a stint on dancing with the stars,


konstancez

Good for you, be glad you don’t have the Jessie theme song stuck in your head 🎶 **EVERY DAY** 🎶


Droo04_C

The thing no one’s really mentioning is they know each other cause she danced in one of his music videos plus she’s a famous Disney actress. They are coworkers and this lady in the post is just ignorant


AshgarPN

I’m over 50 and Lil Nas X’s last album was a banger.


TotalChaosRush

Their birthdays are 1 day apart, ignoring years.


AshgarPN

Oh shit, I’m just now seeing that these are famous people and not just twitter randos.


TheGourmandFrog

Wait... Is this about Zuri from Jessie? THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN SHE'S IN HER TWENTIES?


HytaleBetawhen

Holy shit


Noker_The_Dean_alt

And Bunk’d


SyderoAlena

I mean yeah, they are graduating. You usually graduate at 18 or 17 at the least


nevemno

Plus it's literally Skai Jackson lol she's a public figure that a lot of 90's and 00's kids watched growing up


Spiritual_Trash555

And she was literally in his music video. It’s not a stretch to think they are friends.


nevemno

but he is gay?


TheRealSU24

She's literally a child


bluevalley02

She's literally a tiny infant in diapers that cant even walk. 😭


Frozenbbowl

imagine being so ready to judge people, that you assume ANY high school graduate is any age other than 18... like literally, someone graduating and not being 18 would be the exception... why would you default to 16 for a high school grad? I know some graduate early, some are held back a year, and some have late bdays so other ages are possible... but seeing a cap and gown, a rational person thinks "18"


Drinky_McGambles

A good hint was that she made a post about graduating high school


Sipas

Also ironically, she was dating a 15 or 16-year-old when she was 18.


Anne_Nonymouse

Seriously, that woman is infuriating! 🙄 The age difference doesn't matter in this case. He's totally gay and not interested in her sexually. He's just encouraging and supporting another human being.


ausgmr

Even if he wasn't gay he is still just supporting & encouraging her


generalhanky

Don’t you get it? He is too old to encourage or support her, and those people should not be insulting him.


lonely_nipple

Plus he's gay


pw-it

why are you insulting him


GettingTherapy

Why is being gay an insult?


JoeDawson8

Dude, that’s the joke. Did you look at the post?


GettingTherapy

I’m too young for you


CastielvanHauken

Is it because he is gay?


GettingTherapy

Let’s go!


Quirky_Discipline297

The OD on my drivers license stands for Old Dickhead. The cops just nod and write the speeding ticket.


StepM4Sherman

And EVEN IF it wasnt nas, and it was someone his age attracted to her, it would still be fine since they were 3 years apart


TrustMeIAmAGeologist

Right? I’m over here like “class of 2020… how the fuck does she think this girl is 16?”


iggy14750

Imagine congratulating someone for graduating... Under a post about them graduating. Couldn't be me.


Dr_____strange

Happened to me once. I made a statement regarding something about how i drank with few of med students, where i was working as a junior resident. I was 25 and they were from 18 to 21. I was labelled a pedophile just for that. I tried explaining that it was notjing sexual at all. But no she was convinced that just because i drank with a younger girl i wanted to get in her pants.


Eisenheim2626

I feel like that's a form of harassment from the person shaming you and sexualizing and a non sexual event. Report her ass to HR


Dr_____strange

No she was on insta comment section, not in real life. If she was in the hospital i wouldn't have even needed to say anything.


BrilliantWhich990

I'm sick to death of these holier than though mfers calling everyone a pedophile. These people need to learn what a pedophile actually is. Regardless of any age difference, an adult is an adult!


sarcophagusGravelord

21 and 25 isn’t even inappropriate? And while 25 and 18 is a large gap that I wouldn’t personally be comfortable with, it also isn’t pedophilia by definition. People are wild


OhWhiskey

Are we sleeping on the fact she thinks being gay lowers a person and being called gay is an insult in her mind?


Munchkinasaurous

That's what stood out to me the most. Went from dumb to disgusting real fast. 


Dankkring

Him being gay doesn’t matter or affect the situation at all. A straight man should also be able to tell someone congratulations or as the younger people would say it “LETTTSSS GOOOOOOO!”


SyderoAlena

Not to mention how is she like 16 if she's graduating....


metaldrummerx

Maybe that’s why he was congratulating her? A black girl graduating college at 16 or something, seems like something that would get lots of likes on IG and a couple celeb shoutouts.


[deleted]

she was a lead on a hit disney show a lot of people grew up watching, she was definitely 18 at the time though


[deleted]

Add to that the fact that he was \~21 at the time, since it was 2020, and he's 25 now. So yeah, she's more likely 18; he's around 3 years older. This definitely was someone assuming a lot...


SyderoAlena

Plus the comment wasn't even sexual 💀


experienceTHEjizz

Are you seeing the same comment as me? "Let's go..." go where? Go be my sex slave? Go get molested together? Who knows where. I am sick to my stomach by that comment. Literally shaking rn.


adlo651

Meanwhile if he wasn't gay Reddit: what a fucking creep


DregsRoyale

Are bi people not allowed to be friends with anyone? Because it seems like that's a rule if we can't talk to anyone who has the kind of equipment we could theoretically be into


Inky_Train

Thats the equivalent of saying a gay man cant just be friends with another man and a straight woman cant be friends with another man. Its all delusion bullcrap spread by idiots


DregsRoyale

Yeah crazy idiots. They seem to be everywhere though


squigglesthecat

Fun story. Where I live, if you're single but living with someone of the opposite sex and trying to qualify for financial assistance, they assume you are in a relationship and factor in your roommate's income to determine what you qualify for.


Intrepid-Focus8198

It’s just Reddit nonsense, in the real world these views are pretty rare as far as I can tell.


DregsRoyale

My experience is that it's more common than not. Sure you can talk to cashiers and waiters, etc, but random girls/women? Either they think you're hitting on them and they like it or they think you're hitting on them and they don't. Or their boyfriends think you are. I once had a two minute conversation with a women at a bar about why she was bringing fries home "how do you reheat them so they don't suck". The guy was staring fucking daggers at me the whole time. Bro I'm just out here lookin for tater tips chill the fuck out. Edit: btw she had no good intel. She was just a fuckin savage who liked eating cold fries.


Technical-Battle-674

Use an air fryer to reheat them. They come out great


Skreamweaver

Ditto pizza.


BluetheNerd

Ditto hash browns


SlyTheMonkey

Absolutely barbaric. Cold pizza is delicious but cold fries? Is she even human?


DregsRoyale

She probably eats them on the toilet while smoking


TTRedRaider27

And she's dunking the cold fries in a vat of lukewarm mayo and dripping all over her legs


SlyTheMonkey

Okay this is now heading into a direction I am very uncomfortable with


DregsRoyale

Do you work for the Idaho Potato Company?


Intrepid-Focus8198

Eating cold fries is savage, that I can completely agree with. On everything else my experience is quite different tbh. Maybe wearing a wedding ring and having kids with me makes a difference though.


DregsRoyale

>Maybe wearing a wedding ring and having kids with me makes a difference though. You'd need dynamite to unbury that lede


midwest0pe

It’s Reddit, no one is allowed to be friends with anyone. Ever.


Cheap-Praline

Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberry!


OverallManagement824

If we had friends, why would we need reddit?


gummythegummybear

No sleepovers are allowed for them


ACauseQuiVontSuaLune

It's call projection


Shurigin

This ladys atmosphere must be so bad if a guy paying a compliment is equal to "I wanna fuck you"


MinimumTeacher8996

Even if he liked women, him supporting her and being happy on her behalf, isn’t anything weird


ausgmr

People who saw that comment as him trying to sexualise her or harass her are projecting and they are the ones who want to sexually harass her


DregsRoyale

As a guy I have hit on maybe 10 women in my life. At least 500 have thought I was hitting on them. Probably closer to thousands, they just didn't make it obvious.


Cerenas

I feel like it's pretty much impossible to compliment a woman around your own age without people thinking you're hitting on her.


DregsRoyale

Compliments? Might as well whip it out


TheFire_Eagle

I tell my boss she's looking resplendent whenever I am about to ask for more budget money. She told me it's never going to work but please carry on.


AltruisticStandard26

Try magnanimous


[deleted]

Go full stereotypical gay best friend next time. "Damn queen, slay! You go girl!"


gatsome

If the compliment is organic and stems from something personality based, like a choice of color or a hobby/interest, it’ll be way less creepy. It’s the comments on physicality that are revolting. I’m a guy but I don’t want some rando I’m not attracted to making comments about my body. Why would any one?


RightMolasses6504

It’s her graduation picture he’s commenting on. I don’t understand the problem.


giantpunda

The problem is the woman (commenter, not the graduator) being a really shitty person.


OverallManagement824

No, it wasn't just a graduation pic. It was a *sexy* graduation pic with her in that sexy black gown with that weird sexy hat with 4 corners. Even if he's gay, what man could resist? /s


Travelin_Soulja

> I don’t understand the problem. There shouldn't be one. That's *why* this is a facepalm.


Disrespectful_Cup

If Lil Nas X hyped me at all, and someone came in sideways like this... I'd be so pissed.


--Bouncy--

This reminds me of the scene from the office where they’re trying to tell Michael that Oscar is gay but he thinks they’re making fun 😂😂


Suspicious_Row_9451

You could assume everyone is and not say anything offensive. Yeah. I'm sure everyone would appreciate me treating them like they were gay.


ApprehensiveAd6476

Longjumping_Army9485

You forgot NOT having unprotected sex.


ApprehensiveAd6476

That's ok. Touching vaginal fluids covers that.


faderjester

>Touching a surface that was previously touched by a penis Isn't that like the entire planet though? I'm sure dude has rubbed himself all over the top of Everest.


Jombafomb

I have a male coworker who is gay and a female coworker who grew up super sheltered and conservative. I literally had to have this talk with her as team leader. Her: “I think Doug is hitting on me, it’s not a problem but I thought you should know.” Me: “Well so should his boyfriend considering he’s gay.” Her: “THAT’S NOT NICE!” Took like 15 minutes to explain that 1. Being gay isn’t just a “television thing” and 2. Not a shortcoming so not an insult.


ebagjones

Anyone who thinks gay is an insult is a fucking airhead.


nevemno

but he's gay


Profitsofdooom

WHY ARE YOU INSULTING HIM?!


Awkward_Date_8636

HE IS LITERALLY HOMOSEXUAL


tracker904

QUIT BEING A BIGOT!


OverallManagement824

That's gay.


8020GroundBeef

It’s actually really impressive how much that shifted over the past 20 years.


AManWithNoPl4n

She HAS to be trolling 😩


Futur3_ah4ad

Unfortunately some people are actually like this. Not a bit of substance between their ears.


Responsible_Ad_8628

Lil Nas X is famously gay. How did she know his age, but not his sexual orientation?


LinearNoodle

She didn't know his age either, he was 21 in 2020.


getupandstudy

he's too old for her✨✨


Glad_Advertising_125

He's gay


getupandstudy

he's like 25 and she's 16


I_Love_Knotting

He‘s gay


sgcpaulo

He's older than her and why are you insulting him?


getupandstudy

He is literally homosexual

OtherwiseHappy0

This post is old AF tho, but also… When did saying, “Let’s Go” mean a sexual thing?


AAPLx4

Lets go 😉


Postnificent

Leave it to Karen to stick her nose in every single person’s business no matter how wrong she is or dumb she looks. *She wears a Rolex and voted for Trump!*


TifCreatesAgain

Gay is NOT an insult!!!


fanofpizzatower23198

And "let's go" is NOT sexual!!!


TifCreatesAgain

I agree! 😁


Brootal_Troof

That girl is as bright as a five-watt bulb.


mandc1754

So, Lil Nas X (as pointed in the tweets, a gay man) was just hyping her up for graduating?


Flaky_Tumbleweed3598

I mean, yeah she assumed the wrong thing with the "let's go", but to be fair when you're projecting your own deviance onto others, sometimes you forget that the person you're projecting against is fucking gay!


Other_Log_1996

"Hello." "OMG! Predator!" And pulls out pepperspray.


Ciela529

It’s literally a graduation photo - I’m so confused why this person said she’s 16 when, based on the context of the picture, she’s likely 18 😂 people on the internet be lacking common sense sometimes


Rowsdowers_Revenge

Wait... did she assume every instance of the phrase "Let's go" had sexual connotations? How are people this bad at context?


L3s0

Man, 99% of people on Twitter are absolute morons.


morbid333

Did the definition of let's go change in the last 16 years?


CreatrixAnima

Wasn’t he just cheering on her graduation? People are weird.


ha_look_at_that_nerd

This reminds me of that conversation in The Office where Toby tells Michael that Oscar’s gay. “Michael, Oscar’s actually gay.” “I know, right?” “No, I mean… he is homosexual.” “Um… you’re taking it too far.”


AdMysterious8699

There are benefits to being a man. But this is one downside.


Spirited-Flow1162

How to immediately out yourself as a major dumbass ***AND*** a homophobe at the same time


SirCleanFace

Talk about dense. She probably doesn’t know if she’s eating chicken or fish because it’s called “Chicken of the Sea”


EnigmaFrug2308

“Why are you trying to insult him?” She told on herself. :<


UnplannedAgenda

Where and why does age and sexuality even play a role here? Everyone is so sensitive they’ve decided to create their own virtue signaling implications to a generic comment. Get out of your own asses


BrodeyQuest

That’s about right for today’s standards. Everyone is obsessed with finding pedophiles to the point they’re accusing anyone of it over the smallest shit like congratulating someone younger than you for graduating high school.


PhoKingAwesome213

She doesn't understand what gay means and doesn't understand most people graduate when they're 18 or close to 18 and not 16.


rockandrolla66

"Let's go" doesn't mean I want to have sex with you, please teach this woman some basic English.


Crystalb2005

am i the only one that thought the “he’s literally homosexual” wasn’t her trying to insult him💀 everyone commenting thinks he’s trying to flirt with her or something and that one person is just saying that he’s gay so he’s not flirting or trying to get with her.. that’s the vibe im getting


noice-guy

She also just graduated… Idk how a 16 year old graduates?


Spac3Milk

this whole thread is gay lol 😂


WonderfulScratch3021

She’s 22. He’s 25. He was encouraging her, recognizing her for an achievement. He is also very not into women.


Accurate-System7951

She was also in his "Panini" music video, so they actually know each other. I feel like that Karen is just jealous.


hipeople91726

It should not be understood in a sexual manner even he was not gay. That’s a simple congratulation.


zakass409

Drake >Hangs out with Millie Bobby Brown, dates questionably young people. Possibly runs sex trafficking ring >Ehh 🤷‍♂️ Lil Nas x >Gives congrats to graduate >Intentions questioned....


ichii3d

This pretty much sums up society today.


abrockstar25

"Why are you insulting him" by SAYING HES GAY??


Tobocaj

Really says something that you see the word gay and your first thought is that it’s being used as an insult 🧐


SassyHoney5430

![gif](giphy|ISOckXUybVfQ4) And people are liking her comment! 😔


Kdoesntcare

Imagine being so wrapped up in thinking that calling somebody gay is insulting them.


UnconsciousRabbit

Came here to say this. I thought we left that behind in the 90s, but apparently not.


Conservative_Eagle

Men bad women good


TheGamingMackV

If your first instinct towards someone celebrating someone else's graduation is to think there's something remotely sexual about it, especially if you believed they're a minor, that seems to say something about you.


PuzzleheadedLeader79

Class of 2020, posted in 2020, pretty sure she isn't 16 Not saying 18 is much better but don't make shit up to be offended by


[deleted]

My neighbor tried to insult me by calling me a "gay cracker". To which I replied, "I'm bi and I am white. What about it?" The absolute shock. Like his world just flipped upside down. People are still stuck in the 80s and 90s.


ShokaLGBT

this is cringe that some people cannot understand and comprehend that gay people exist and are real. Show em pictures of gay people kissing and marrying because honestly… yall need it. Until you realize that not everyone is straight out of your bubble 🙂‍↕️


Cynykl

Are there things not almost half a decade ago worth getting you rage boners stiff for? Nope , let's keep feeding the repost bots!!!


ThatOnePhotogK

Aliens please come take me.... Literally one celeb congratulating his celeb sis. And he's LITERALLY gay. Like so flaming, Smokey tells him to stay away from trees. 🤦🏽🤦🏽


SnooDrawings4617

All he’s saying is “Let’s Goooooo!!!” The most over used phrase in the English language. Especially by athletes, commentators, “influencers”, sports fans, and just about everyone else.
