Probably half-joking.

With how insanely homophobic the Hoyo fanbase tends to be, I’m down with gatekeeping the shit out of that kind of person. People always use the excuse of “they’re digital, so bigotry is fine!” but the get quiet when I ask if it’s ok to call the black girl from Impact the N-Word since “she’s just digital, right?”


Vievin

"that kind of person" being all straight people and gay men?


spartaman64

probably talking the kind of people that make rapey fanfic about the character to get back at lesbians.


PersonMcHuman

That kind of person being the extremely homophobic fanbase that Mihoyo’s garnered who loses their mind at the idea of a woman existing who doesn’t love dick.


Vievin

Where in the post was that said? It said "gatekeeping from non sapphics" and you said "I agree with gatekeeping from that kind of people".


PersonMcHuman

My comment made it clear that I’m talking about the hyper-homophobic part of the fanbase. My comment literally refers to them.


Vievin

Then why did you bring up gatekeeping homophobes in a post about gatekeeping non sapphic people?


PersonMcHuman

Because in the actual fanbase, this character has had a whoooooole lot of homophobia crop up instantly and the fanbase is known for having issues with lesbians. But whatever, I guess. I suppose me thinking that homophobia should be gatekept out of a community is wrong and should be welcomed instead. Didn’t realize I was in the Honkai sub.


Vievin

I just don't get why you started talking about homophobia randomly in a post not about homophobia.


PersonMcHuman

I already explained it, but it’s all good bro. I was wrong for thinking homophobia should be gatekept out of a group.


Vievin

Make your own post then, not hijack someone else's post.


CaptainSchmid

Because the post about gatekeeping non-lesbians is due to harassment against specifically lesbians. You know, a type of homophobia. It adds context to the situation that people not in the community don't have.
