transcription: the “(character) is homophobic?” trend cracks me up because when i was 15 i tried to tell my mom i was lesbian by saying “mom… i dont like guys…” and she just said “AMEN” assuming i was just being misandrist and did and illegal u-turn to get to a tamale shop before i could reply
I feel like the internet is gas lighting me right now because I can’t find any evidence of it existing but ive seen that shit before. I’m going to blame Elon because I believe it originated on Twitter and after they started making people sign up to see posts getting info from that site is impossible.
Basically the format is usually 1 fem character, and another character of any gender. The fem character would say “I don’t like guys”, meaning they were a lesbian. The other one would have a thought bubble that says something like “Fem is a misandrist?!”, and say to fem “Thats awesome”, leading the fem character to think “Other is an ally?!” and that was pretty much it.
it was funnier to see in meme form but. i can not find it.
it’s actually a twist of this meme
OMG YES THANK YOU THE NOELLE ONE WAS EXACTLY THR ONE I WAS LOOKING FOR
On my wife’s 🛜, she saw them more as “character is gay?” than “character is homophobic.” She can’t find the SonicxShad, Owl House, Gravity fall, X-men ones, etc., but we do recall them. We just can’t find the kym entry.
The X-men one was particularly hilarious, because Wolverine is canonically bisexual, and Morph fluid. And they weren’t even phobic-questioning, it was just Logan speaking in his boomer-esqueway, and Morph being confused cause he’s a millennial.
am i supposed to read this as something other than “On my wife’s wifi”?
That works😆, but she means her feed. Kids call it “fyp” these days.
The feed symbol is rotated 45° compared to the wifi symbol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Feed-icon.svg
If only Unicode would accept rotation marks ╮(︶▽︶)╭
I usually see it as a man saying “I don’t like women”, then someone else mistakes them for a sexist and says “that’s not good”, then THEY get mistaken for a homophobe. Hence “(character) is homophobic?”
its possible I just saw a disproportionate amount of ones about lesbians LOL
i feel like ive seen it the way youre describing it as well it just didnt come to mind first
At least the meme makes sense now! Thank you
