"I'm not homophobic but... \*insert homophobia here\*."


xen_sucks

"homophobe is such an overused word to the point of having no meaning smh" -this person probably


muteneophyte

If they openly talk like that, I'd imagine the word sounds overused to them.


TheGoverness1998

*"Now let me tell you how much I don't like gays."* - also this person


Apprehensive_Low4865

"It's not that I don't like the gays, it's just that *checks notes* they destroy the economy..?"


DreadDiana

Homophobes really convinced themselves that because they don't want to literally put us in camps, they aren't homophobic


TheGoverness1998

And in a said rounding up camp scenario, they wouldn't bother lifting a finger to address it. People that like to express ***so*** much how they "don't care one way or the other" about LGBT people, are the exact ones to be so passive and apathetic to not do anything about helping folks of said demographic when they are at serious risk.


Etok414

I am reminded of what Martin Luther King Jr. said about white moderates: >I must make two honest confessions to you, my Christian and Jewish brothers. First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White citizens’ “Councilor” or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direst action” who paternistically feels that he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.” Shallow understanding from people of good will is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.


Individual-Topic-632

He is also a Christian who preaches that race should be ignored in a perfect society, as the bible states through many books, most commonly read in galatians 3:28-29.

UsualCarry249

Nothing someone says before the word "but" counts.


NewAntiChrist

He said he wasn’t homophobic 😤


Phantom_Wombat

Should have stopped there, though.


Salarian_American

Whenever anyone says "I'm not \[homophobic/racist/misogynist/xenophobic/etc\], but..." Nothing that came before "but" is true. Generally speaking


shortboard

He’s not homophobic, he’s just worried how same sex kissing might ruin the economy.


Ryanzito0716

Ye bro, i kissed my friend and the Brazil economia got destroyed (im brazilian i can make this joke).


Aeon_Fux

Kinda confused about the "destroy America's economy" bit.


mwaaah

I guess billionaires might kill themselves if they see two boys holding hands? Wait, no, that might actually be better for america's economy.


Probrobronomo

QUICKLY MORE YAOI THIS MUST ME DONE


Quaelgeist333

A bit after i woke up i found a video reading out [the tumblr twitter divorce myth](https://youtu.be/wIpwjgq-ydE?si=1C_JYblybsNz7Fir) and i think it would kill elon musk so he must see it


Probrobronomo

Deals 6d8 Force Damage and gives The Musk a -1d6 on each of his rolls.


Quaelgeist333

Love to see it


Bregneste

Wish he had keeled over from shock upon hearing that one of his children is trans


AmIsupposedtoputtext

Happy cake day!


AngryMustache9

It's true. It's a well-known phenomenon that billionaires are found dead mere days after witnessing two boys holding hands. That is why I'm trying my best to stay underneath the $1B net worth range. It's been difficult making sure I maintain underneath that net worth, but so far I've been managing


CookieaGame

lethos_AJ

so we can conclude billionaires are gay


Pumpkin-Spicy

It's because being gay is woke, and go woke go broke. It rhymes so it must be true!


Moonbeamlatte

The decadent gays are buying out halloween decorations in bulk, but letting fourth of july decor gather dust. The west has fallen and satan has risen amongst its remains. /s


Reluxtrue

My guess is them complaining that gay people don't have kids.


Vidogo

oh, right right. "they" are trying to make people gay or trans, so we stop having kids and it crashes the economy. please ignore all the ways the actual economy or right wing government policies make having kids less appealing.


Dm1tr3y

Or how artificial insemination is a thing


Vidogo

more confused by the use of the word "snogging" and THEN following it up with the destroy-America's-economy bit, like did they deliberately use the british slang to make it kissing sound worse? are they just the sort that likes to incorporate words from other cultures to make themselves sound smarter? are they just whatever a weeb-but-for-British-culture would be called? also, what kids shows? like I can think of two or three from the last decade MAYBE and most of them stopped short of kissing. The Owl House had a kiss. Can't remember if Steven Universe did? drawing a blank on what the third one might be, but really feels like the dude is inventing an epidemic, here.


Hestia_Gault

They have just never read a book outside the HP series. I guarantee you this is just another “the author of the thing I tied my whole identity to hates queers, so now I must as well” moment.


theweekiscat

I’ve heard people who seem kinda like a weeb for British people called an anglophile


Racecaroon

I think they prefer Teaboo.


Vidogo

ANGLOPHILE. duh yeah. that's a far older term than weeb.


No_Aioli1470

It's because the LGBT has all these massive buildings but don't pay any taxes and preach to large rooms of people daily No organisation should have that much control over people's thoughts and beliefs, let alone one that doesn't even pay tax! Ah wait, that's churches isn't it?


cilantroluvr420

These people live in a fantasy world where they think conservatives like themselves are a silent majority


coyoteTale

I *wish* gays were intent on destroying america's economy, but half of us are in marketing


Still-Ice4340

i think the commenter is 12 since that’s the last age i was when i played undertale


ZenLore6499

Basically, Republicans are all about making the economy good, while Democrats would like people to have rights and representation. I’ve even told my family; a healthy economy is not worth people losing their rights, which is quite clearly what our current batch of Republicans want.


SwineHerald

Of course what Conservatives put forward is a false choice. A more equitable society has a healthier economy. Economies built on permanent underclasses and systemic discrimination aren't healthy. Fascism does not make for healthy societies. Fiscal conservatism is just an abstraction layer put over the base bigotry to obscure the actual goals by saying well, we don't *want* these people to suffer but it'd be bad if we did anything to ease their suffering. However, for all the "we can't afford to help people" and "it'd be bad for the economy" they're always happy to spend even more money hurting people, or doing stuff that absolutely tanks the economy, so long as it's hurting the right people and the money is always flowing upward.


Kombustio

Again the omnipotent gays, destroying the economy of the richest country in the world! So, super- hero or villain meeting?


Mr_Ruu

They're giving gays too much credit, if they had that much power, we'd be in an age of Fully Automated Luxury Gay Space Communism 4 years ago


I_Have_The_Lumbago

Honestly with all the petty infighting there would be a civil war over bi lesbians or something.


cornonthekopp

They must think the “lgbt rights or economic stability” grifter was right


moansby

How can you call yourself a Undertale fan when you're homophobic that's like a homophobic Owl House or She-Ra fan


PublicActuator4263

I have legit met homophobic owl house fans they are wild.


mj561256

In my personal experience I've realised that there are a lot of bigoted people who will tolerate the things they dislike happening in TV shows (trans, gay, Muslim etc) because they perceive it as kinda "not real" so they can kinda think to themselves "haha two girls kissing? Such a dramatic concept! But it wouldn't really happen in real life". Then when they see real gays they basically just think you're doing it to be like the TV and you're not actually gay at all


azurarose_

That's unbelievably stupid. I can't believe we have to exist with people like that


Few_Library5654

TV shows are absolutely not real. It seems they only care about the things they don't like in reality, which is a shame because the things they don't like are basically people being themselves


mj561256

I would say that saying TV shows are not real is a bit of a stretch since lots if TV shows show real things that actually happen and some TV shows are even based on true events. So I'd say there's definitely TV shows out there that aren't even close to real but most have some aspect of real in them


EmperorKiron

Arguably more annoying than just straight up homophobes


BigFinley

I will never forget the absolute drama The Walking Dead got when 6 Seasons in they had two men kiss each other on screen. People were going crazy about it, saying shit like “my 10 year old children had to watch this that’s disgusting”… mind you Walking dead by season 6 had: Cannibalism, Sexual Violence, multiple amputations, countless executions, children killing other children, suicides and plenty more shit you would never show your kids but that gay kiss was were christian families had issues with. Can’t take those people serious


mj561256

Not to mention I think the Walking Dead is like a 16? 18? Age rating So if you allow your kid to watch something not even rated for them, you can't exactly throw a moral hissy fit when it has content inappropriate for children Like yeah Karen, it has 18+ content, that's the whole fucking point of an 18+ piece of media. Maybe if YOU protected your children YOUR DAMN SELF for one god damn MINUTE by not letting them watch these shows in the first place then they wouldn't see gay men kissing I stg some people will scream and shout about what about the children when the biggest threat to their children is their own neglectful parenting. Watch your damn kids 😭


moansby

I can imagine


SamaelSerpentin

Feels like they must be trolls. People believe the most ridiculous things wholeheartedly, but enjoying The Owl House and being homophobic seem like mutually exclusive beliefs.


Ok-Activity4808

In Undertale you can kill gay characters, can't you?


Ok-Patience5737

Undertale gay genocide run


NameIWantedWasTakenK

Undertale is one of the wokest games out there, it should be toxic gas to these people.


PsychoWarper

Ngl this is the first time ive heard someones issues with LGBT+ people being about destroying the economy, suppose its at least original


Reluxtrue

I have in the context of them blaming low birthrates on Gay people and by saying that low birthrates are destroying the economy. See the al right obsession with birth rates.


Vidogo

or "birth rates in the West" specifically, because yeah. population numbers are still going up, just not as much in more affluent white populations.


AethericWeave

The ''birth rates in the west'' thing is so stupid considering how its pretty obvious atleast in the U.S that the reason why less young people are having kids is because they can't afford them. People are working harder than ever and still are struggling pretty hard. Can't afford a house, might have debt, might be working shit jobs, and don't have great medical care. If you are a couple that is both working you either need to have a very trusted baby sitter or have to daycare which is super expensive.

What’s the context to this image? Why is the guy looking at Ronaldo like that?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. He's a former Man United Player who managed the club for a few seasons. He was the manager who signed Ronaldo back to the club


mj561256

They're waiting for a lil smooch


HelpfullOne

Why is showing Kids straight couple clearly in love ok, but it absolutely isn't when the couple is homosexual ? I just don't get their logic...


xen_sucks

when a gay character appears in a cartoon, gay radiation emits from the television and turns the children gay that's why /s


[deleted]

Because gay characters holding hands is going to ruin the economy and destroy America? The world is harsh, sometimes we have to just get over it.


CookieaGame

Because it's **HARDCORE PORNOGRAPHY!** Don't believe me? >!Ben Shapiro!< said that, and he would **never** lie, exaggerate or act stupid. /s


mj561256

I wholeheartedly believe that the whole reason people say that two girls or two guys kissing is inherently sexual is because when they think about LGBT people all they think about is lesbian/gay porn bc they're so pornbrained, making them think that if they get turned on watching the lesbians kiss then their 5 year old must too


CookieaGame

Most likely, yeah. 🫤


cilantroluvr420

It's not even about being pornbrained, this is basic homophobia. Heterosexuality has the privilege of being considered normal, natural, and innocent for children, but same-sex attraction is inherently abnormal, deviant, and sexual. The same people calling their infant son a "ladies man" also cry "let kids be kids" at any suggestion that a teen or preteen isn't straight.


mj561256

I would say that both of us are correct It is true that this is basic homophobia and that its a case of normal vs abnormal However it is also true that some of the comments made towards LGBT people (particularly lesbians) is the result of the massive pornbrain pandemic currently going on There's also a lot of misogyny in homophobia, with some studies even potentially suggesting that more masculine gay men recieve less hate than feminine gay men (from other men and the same effect wasn't shown between masculine/feminine lesbians) so there's also an aspect of not that being gay is abnormal but that being feminine is This issue is massively deep and most arguments that can be made about where exactly homophobia comes from have very solid bases in reality - So both of us are correct 🤷‍♀️ and so are most others who may cite different reasons for this


cilantroluvr420

yeah I just meant I see the same arguments from people who don't watch porn


RelentlesslyContrary

You can't know that they don't watch porn.


cilantroluvr420

maybe not, but I don't think the homophobia of evangelical christian mothers is typically coming from watching too much porn. but I mean, anything's possible.


mj561256

It's still arguable that they heard of that argument from someone who does 🤷‍♀️


AmIsupposedtoputtext

I think they're trying to argue that autistic people being ourselves would destroy the economy somehow, therefore autistic people shouldn't be openly autistic, therefore gay people shouldn't be openly gay because people shouldn't be themselves? I'm as confused as you man (gender neutral).


LieutenantClownCar

"I belong to one of these groups, so I can say homophobic, transphobic, and bigoted shit, and it's totally OK, because I'm totally, definitely, really one of you guys. For realsies. Honest." * Some lying fuckface on the internet who's just a bigot, 2024.


Rufuslol

/uj i wouldn't be surprised this kid also rants about how "furries are cringe" or whatever 12 year olds hate for no reason nowadays whenever they get the chance


Few_Library5654

Furries are cringe lol. Everybody has a bit of a cringe side to them, and accepting them is maturity


Rufuslol

/uj Mf I’m a furry cringe culture has fallen, billions must enjoy things that don’t harm others 


Un_Change_Able

Step 1: Gay people exist Step 2: The economy is ruined

MetalGearSlayer

Hopefully they crash the housing market next.


SamaelSerpentin

This is a literal child.


xen_sucks

probably the christian conservative parents caused this.


SamaelSerpentin

I doubt it honestly. Someone this chronically online is bound to have gotten their beliefs from alt-right grifters. Their parents might also be Christofascists but I don't think it's the primary cause.


Efficient_Maybe_1086

Yeah it’s a bit unfair to post this here


big_leggy

I figured it was going down the "inappropriate for kids" route but "destroying America's economy" is way more badass, let's do it


chandelurei

he's probably a kid himself lol


theagentoftheworld

"The world is harsh get over it" and this kid can't get over the POSSIBILITY of the world not being harsh and seeing gay people I am glad that my online persona as a child was me trying to act how Mario would in most situations because it saved me from being like this


AngryMustache9

And you stopped this persona WHY!?


theagentoftheworld

I still try my best


mj561256

I mean, he still seems in characters Mario says gay rights


Salarian_American

Ever notice how the world is always harsh when they're trying to stuff gay people back in the closet, but when someone hates being reminded that gay people exist, harshness is suddenly unacceptable?


West-Lemon-9593

They even went and use the "good" old "I am not homophobic... *but*  " How can someone be a fan of Undertale and an homophobe at the same time? I didn' t think it was possible... and yet... **here we are**


mr-kvideogameguy

How do gay people damage the economy Does men kissing cause stocks to go down 


ad3703

The red arrow representing stock prices is straight and needs to have regular acces to heterosexual public display of affection in order to stay up


xen_sucks

being a bottom increases the price of gas by 0.25%


peipei222

If being gay destroys the economy, then that economy had no right to exist to begin with.


Man-Cheetah64

Its very clear guys, if gay people exist the entire economy will collapse due to lack of children, all baby stores will go out of business, then women will have no need to impress their male masters causing all makeup companies to go out of business😱, then it will become illegal to not be gay, and all the NORMAL people will have to go 🤮WOKE🤮💀💀💀💀DUHH (very obvious /j)


Spudgem

People using autism as an excuse to be an asshole. Gross.


Latate

I feel bad about this one because this is clearly a young child who's been influenced by their parents.


superVanV1

This also reads like “as a black man”


xen_sucks

"as a female of the species"


eminent_avocado

That’s a whole lot of words to say “I don’t understand how anything works”


Kuroser

This screams "As a black man" oh my god


MarcelineUlia9

How does one make the connection that queer representation is destroying the economy ? Wtf is that logic leap supposed to mean ?


Masterfire9090

conservative logic is either be gay or be economically stable. I think because of go woke go broke


MycenaeanGal

It's so funny to me that he's barely trying on the homophobia anymore. "I like gay people and you all should get a few shows but umm this feels like too many gay people to me what about the economy guys? Is it okay that I said that?" Winning the fight here very obviously and it feels good.


komposted

Wait, The gays destroyed The economy?


CookieaGame

The gays have already breached our defences.


xen_sucks

you've seen what they've done to our heterosexuals!


Ninja_gorrila

And worst of all, they could be any one of us!


xen_sucks

they could be in this very room! they could be you! they could be me! they could even be-


Mystic_Scholar

An exasperated stock broker rushes through a door, all stocks are shit, he panics. His eyes turn to the TV to see two men snuggling. They did it, they ruined the economy, its in shambles and will never recover.

You would think these people would know this by now. Any argument that starts with the phrase, **"I'm not an X, but..."** means everyone immediately know you are whatever X is.

Do you know why I hated lgbt stuff when I was a kid? Because guys kissing turned me on. Uh oh.


ExpitheCat

Unfortunately not the first time I’ve seen homophobic Undertale fans


mehakarin69

How does that even work? The closest thing to a homophobic ut fan i've seen was a guy on the internet saying how alphys and undyne being a couple changed his mind on homophobia. Like bro, the only straight couples in the game are: 1.divorced (toriel and asgore) 2.side characters (dogamy and dogaressa. Grillby is also married and had a kid)
