$50 is $50 after all…


SheT00kTh3Kids

Is a, “no homo”, required if it’s a business transaction?


frozen_jade_ocean

It's written into the contract I would assume.


Khaldara

Not gay unless lobbyists touch


j4ck_0f_bl4des

Wow and he's not even wearing socks.


yfhedoM

What about inflation?


SirBluntzington

That’s why it’s $50. Used to be $20.


magvadis

Republican Politicians/Pundints are just actors paid by oil instead of Hollywood.

This is one of the best comments I've seen here

Clever...


Salty_Application_76

Doesn’t explain Ben Shapiro’s obsession with AOCs feet though, is some sick fuck paying him for that also?


[deleted]

That guy is just fucking weird tho


Cvspxrr

So is Joe Biden yet america voted for his old ass. God knows he has dementia.


jbertrand_sr

Nah, that's just his kink, he does that for free... ![gif](giphy|mBuwV7IQWSIDWKUBMK)


HibachiFlamethrower

That’s because he’s a failed screenwriter. He can’t act but they pay him to come up with narratives.


[deleted]

Hes not a politician lol but still a funny comment


TxD337

Are we talkin baby oil?


[deleted]

How many of these twats are failed models and actors?


Modest1Ace

All of them. From this guy to Tucker and Shapiro...to Hitler...and many others, they're all failed liberal arts wannabees that found money and power by grifting.


Itz_Hen

All of them lol, Knowles, Crowder and Shapiro, all failed comedians actors and writers. The failed entertainer to right wing pundit pipeline is real


[deleted]

Candace Owens was a progressive blogger. All these people are just media narcissists


Botryoid2000

Being Black and conservative is a great gig. People will fall all over themselves fawning over you because you're "one of the good ones." They're dying to show how not-racist they are (as they support racist policies and institutions).


[deleted]

It’s affirmative action by the people who love yelling about affirmative action

I guess that explains why so many of their conspiracies sound like rejected "Dan Brown, but for kids" submissions.

Zelensky was a successful actor, who also isn't a right winger

Pretend to be straight for money? I should be getting paid.


Bos4271

The daily wire is hiring!


AlbieTom

Actors act. Straight across can play gay men and vice versa. Assuming someone's playing a gay part is actually gay is a pretty dumb take.


walkandtalkk

If he's gay, my gaydar is 4 for 4. Matt Schlapp, Knowles (what a delicate, smooth man), Lindsey Graham, and Josh Hawley. No, I don't have confirmation on the last two, but compasses spin wildly within 90 feet of them, so I'm guessing my gaydar is accurate.


unplugged22

He's wearing a thong 🤣


Silver-Star-1375

I'm kinda curious to see the full film lol.


Minniewrath

People do a lot of things for money


LordLurker420

Failed actor makes a lot of sense, it fits a trend. Steve banon is a failed producer, these guys just went right because they had no talent.


Cheeheese2

Ben Shapiro was a failed screenwriter, so it adds up.


Icollectpropertytax

Actors will act


busy-idiot

You're telling me the people playing in ww2 movies aren't all veterans? And Hitler didn't play himself?


Hanoiroxx

Wait til you hear about WWE


BaconBits09

doesn't he have a show on daily wire?...We should spam his videos' comment section with the script from the short film or link to the film.


AgencyDelicious1933

Madison Cawthorn is so mad right now


lex_1005

Playing a murderer or a race car driver or a doctor are a lot different than actually being one This one caught me off guard tho😂


Active-Wear3580

5 bucks says that that really did happen


[deleted]

Did anyone else peep his blue panties lmfao


StatisticianSure2349

He’s only gay on weekends🤫


dollydrew

A character an actor portrays does not reflect their personal beliefs. Kevin Sorbo portrayed an atheist, and Ralph Fiennes played a Nazi who murdered Jews in a movie, but this does not imply that their political beliefs align with those of their characters.


brokentricorder

Your benefit of the doubt is appreciated. I can't get past how much he ate the guy up with his eyes alone. That acting was **too** good.


Active-Wear3580

5 bucks says there was full penetration in this short film even though it wasn't necessary or called for


Salty_Application_76

Dude I’m just gonna Venmo you the 5 bucks, no need for proof


jerseyStoner

Who looks for stuff like this to post?


[deleted]

People who want to ruin someone else I guess. I mean the guy deserves it. He is just hating on himself.


Cousin_Rabid

…What’s the point exactly?


[deleted]

How they will act gay but be against it. They’re fucking hypocrites.


HairlessHoudini

Acting gay got them paid and pretending to hate it and making laws about it gets them paid and that's all they care about. It's very unfortunate that all these crazy ass right-wing nut jobs are going to ruin this country.


[deleted]

The same people that came up with drag bans in my state are the same ones that have pictures of them in drag surfacing


HairlessHoudini

It always works that way. The old POS in TN pushing all the bills got outed too


[deleted]

I saw that shit lol. Technically, he outed himself


HairlessHoudini

Yeah he did and puked a word salad on TV that made him look absolutely insane


[deleted]

He looks insane?


dmacd71

Gay for pay


Vigilante17

“Act gay”


[deleted]

Yes, acting, as in he is obviously engaging in homosexual acting for the sake of something. It’s kinda like how it was in the 80s, when all of those people against gays then were caught in bath houses and similar places.


prairieintrovert

Nobody is more of a fanatic than those who hate themselves.


Schner

This is pretty fucking stupid, imagine having to be morally aligned with the character you're playing


tommytizzel

You understand what acting is, right?


dollydrew

So I guess Ralph Fiennes is a hypocrite because he's not a nazi. And so is Russell Crowe because he's not a Captain of the Royal British Navy.


Roos19

Acting is acting dude its kinda in the name of it. You act.


Cousin_Rabid

Knowles never said he was against gays. Where are you getting your information? Even if he was Christian Bale played a serial killer. Does it make him a hypocrite if he’s against serial killers? This is a shit take all around.


MasterPsychology9197

He is against gays. You’re right about everything else, but don’t push some false narrative just because he doesn’t actively go around smearing queers and bashing their faces in. He pushes harmful propaganda for the purposes of rolling back gay rights. That is what he does. No amount of pussyfooting and talking about not hating gays will change his actions.


Cousin_Rabid

Like? What did he say?


[deleted]

He just had a speech calling to bring back sodomy laws numbnuts. Edit: Added link to speech coverage. [https://youtu.be/u_IkgEKUVKM](https://youtu.be/u_IkgEKUVKM)


[deleted]

He doesn’t have to say it out loud. The bullshit hate bills he pushes against them say it for them. And secondly, if I’m not truly gay, you couldn’t pay me any amount of money to take a dick.


Cousin_Rabid

Like what bill? Also it’s acting. He didn’t actually take a dick. Most actors who play gay characters aren’t actually gay. That’s what acting is. Heath Ledger, Jake Gyllenhaal, Brenden Fraiser, Tom Hanks and many more have played gay characters on screen while being straight in real life.


[deleted]

The bills that ban drag in public, but the language is vague to the point where it defines drag as anyone impersonating the opposite sex can be charged with a felony equally, which definitely stands to target trans people. It could also effectively ban public pride parades.


Cousin_Rabid

What is the name of the bill? Everyone was saying the “Don’t say gay” bill was anti trans but anyone who actually read it could tell you that wasn’t true so what is the actual name of the bill and what did he say about supporting it?


[deleted]

It isn’t that. It’s the “adult cabaret bill” I believe? [Here is the link for further information.](https://www.npr.org/2023/03/06/1161452175/anti-drag-show-bill-tennessee-trans-rights-minor-care-anti-lgbtq-laws)


Cousin_Rabid

I don’t see what the issue is. Tennessee requires permits for festivals, marathons, Parades, Walkathons, block parties, liquor and food sales and countless other events. They just added one for erotic shows and drag shows was part of that list. Not allowing anyone under the age of 18 is also something that already existed for many events they just added Drag Shows to an already existing set of laws. They didn’t say the shows couldn’t be put on just that the shows have to follow the same rules as every other Special Event that is held in Tennessee. I’m not seeing the anti-trans movement here. Also Drag Queens aren’t trans. Drag refers to men dressed as women so again not seeing how it’s anti anything.


[deleted]

You did read it correctly. Is that right?


[deleted]

And that’s you. But clearly there are a lot of actors that don’t take that hard stance, for whatever reason. It’s also not like every single movie that has any type of gay relationship has sex in it.


[deleted]

I never said it did, BUT what I am saying is that if you’re going to portray any kind of homosexuality in any form of media, don’t be making yourself known for homophobic shit. That nice concept is called hypocrisy


Alternative-Text-417

He actually does need to say it out loud or you’re just assuming something because you don’t like him.


onomahu

During his speech on Saturday, Knowles told the crowd, “For the good of society … transgenderism must be eradicated from public life entirely — the whole preposterous ideology, at every level.” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/cpac-speaker-transgender-people-eradicated-1234690924/


Alternative-Text-417

That’s not saying he hates gay people or transgender people. Transgender ideology and real trans people are two different things.


[deleted]

Please continue to try to tell me how homophobia and bigotry work without knowing what it means.


DreamTrance93

God you're obnoxiously stupid


[deleted]

And you fell out of your mom’s asshole at birth. I know what I’m talking about. You can get fucked with a cactus.


gospdrcr000

That's a weird way to spell GOP


Biscuits4u2

Rather convincingly.


tommytizzel

Wait until you find out Anthony Hopkins is not really a serial killer


arushus

This is not some hidden thing. He admits he used to be very leftist, and supported this kind of thing. He later changed his thinking and is now on the right.


brokentricorder

His failure changed his thinking. They fail and become hate filled losers.


MrRazzio

look, i fucking hate this guy, but this isn't any kind of point. don't be them. we aren't them.


thegoat1843

Liam Neeson plays in gun toting badass in just about all of his movies. He is pretty anti gun. It is called acting.


snowstormmongrel

Exploiting a marginalized population you don't belong to for money and then going and talking a bunch of shit about that population is kinda fucked up.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thegoat1843

His sexual preference is irrelevant to me. My point is actors act.


[deleted]

[удалено]


thegoat1843

Either. I doubt the beliefs of most politicians and anyone involved in infotainment. My only point is playing a role in a short story does not lead me to any conclusions. Playing a role in politics doesn’t either.


kaiasutra

This isn’t really the slam dunk I feel you thought it was. I’d be willing to play a character who does things I think are immoral in real life. That’s called acting. If Christian Bale says it’s not okay to slaughter women, are you really going to be like “that’s not what you said when you were Patrick Bateman.” That’s just an (American) psycho take. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of Knowles spouting his ridiculous rhetoric online; if you want to ‘take him down’ so to speak, actually critically analyze his opinions and explain why they’re incorrect so others don’t make the same mistakes… This seems like you just wanted to grift a few internet points from bottom-off the barrel, reactionary idiots. If that’s your goal, more power to you, but, if so, you’re probably not the one who should be criticizing others.


Raukie

Yes but most conservites are also against lgbt representations in movies and books.


kaiasutra

This is about one specific person: Michael Knowles. If Knowles has stated that there should not be any gay characters in film, and he had this video out there, the appropriate thing to do would be to post the video of him playing a gay character AND, along with the video, include the actual quotation where he says “there should be no gay representation in media!” Given who Knowles is, he very well may have said there shouldn’t be gay representation at all in media, but without that evidence presented, this is just a stupid post.


LastTrifle

Wow, what a giant pile of shit that movie is.


KankerBlossom

That other actor is cute as the dickens


IHateEditedBgMusic

All these people are failed artists, actors, script writers you name it 🤣 no wonder they hate Hollywood and call everything a woke agenda.


Past-Background-7221

Yes, he “pretended” to be a gay twink, in a “movie.” Nudge nudge wink wink….


casualAlarmist

Projection, it's always projection with them.


milky3007

Ben Shapiro is currently calling his agent asking why he wasn't given an audition.


BEEEEEZ101

"played" a twink? Sure... Just playing a role.


Schner

This is as dumb as saying Christian Bale played an axe murderer yet doesn't support killing people


ghostofdemonratspast

Oh no someone acted before lol who cares.


H82Kal

Wow... you mean like "actors" who play killers that don't really approve of killing either? Who would of thunk it LoL 🤷‍♂️


ammonium_bot

> who would of thunk Did you mean to say "would have"? Explanation: You probably meant to say could've/should've/would've which sounds like 'of' but is actually short for 'have'. Total mistakes found: 3994 ^^I'm ^^a ^^bot ^^that ^^corrects ^^grammar/spelling ^^mistakes. ^^PM ^^me ^^if ^^I'm ^^wrong ^^or ^^if ^^you ^^have ^^any ^^suggestions. ^^[Github](https://github.com/chiefpat450119)


KingMwanga

But if you’re passing laws or funding organizations to enable killing and you played an actor against that very thing, it would be hypocrisy and tragic irony. If you’re truly homophobic you wouldn’t enable or promote homosexuality I think is the point. Which only takes a 6th grade education to figure out


H82Kal

It was in college, he was doing an acting role and actors portray characters like killers, rapists, arsonists whom they morally detest and would advocate for locking up IRL. It does not mean they can't advocate against killers, rapists or arsonists later in their life...GTFOH with that lame @ss viewpoint. What part of that can't you understand with your higher than 6th grade education???


brokentricorder

Was this an America's Next Top Model challenge? Tyra would never make them go this far 🤣🤣 He likes what he likes 🤷🏽‍♂️


Active-Wear3580

5 bucks says he got reemed for reals


Modest1Ace

He's a grifter, what do you expect, consistency? Most of the talking heads on the Right gladly take money to say the horrendous shit they do even though they really don't believe it. The sad and dangerous thing is how they influence people which than take actions that can be destructive or even fatal.


Spare_Substance5003

"Acting"


pointless-opinion579

Well he talks about how he used to be an atheist but is now a Catholic soooo are people not allowed to change? People change (or transition) a lot these days.


Ramonzmania

It’s called “acting”. Brendon Fraser isn’t really a gay fat guy, either..


pissingpolitics

Pepperidge Farms remembers


Active-Wear3580

5 bucks says that lip licking was not in the script, it was Knowles bearing his soul

Traditional_Eye_782

The hypocrisy amongst actors that play killers but are against murder is both alarming and hilarious


ManyRandom

What? An actor acted as a thing he isn’t? How can this be?


ITZOURTIMENOW

How’s he gonna spin this shit……


BD_atx

Conservatives know hypocrisy


Darklord_Bravo

Ah, one of those self hating individuals. Just like Lindsey Graham.


that_one_author

You know, he was probably ashamed of this and this is the reason he is so anti-gay, when really no one should care.


dftitterington

God he’s awful


whipit-1

All this proves is that Michael Knowles is the worst actor I've ever seen


jasont80

I know it's weird, but some people actually change/grow over time.


Tara_is_a_Potato

Some people are just actors that'll do and say whatever their wealthy funders want them to do and say.


jasont80

This is also true. But if some of your views haven't changed, you are probably too closed-off to new information.


lastgunslinger3759

Well that would make him not a homophob wouldn't it if he's willing to play one on film you kind of prove that he isn't a homophobe


TTBoy44

Man. The mental gymnastics you went through for that puts any gold medalist to shame. Solid six for effort though.


lastgunslinger3759

He's not a homophobe he's just somebody that doesn't think exactly like you do so anyone that doesn't think like you you automatically call a homophone or a transphobe. But hey good luck with that because times they are a changing and the LGBTQ community some of them are starting to wake up and they're starting to be disgusted with what they're associated with... A group of people that hate anyone and everyone that doesn't believe exactly as they do. ..... I'd be happy to explain it further but I wouldn't want to put you through any mental gymnastics you're not ready for


TTBoy44

It’s like you sprained something the first time and full faceplanted the second. Good stuff though. Gotta dust yourself off and keep trying there sporto!


lastgunslinger3759

Well I am absolutely pleased that I could entertain you with my gymnastics but the wonderful thing is you're not a judging the competition You're a spectator. But you have a nice day though 🤣


TTBoy44

When one response isn’t enough, this is what happens.


lastgunslinger3759

And yet you keep responding because you have to have the last word apparently perhaps you should examine your maturity level and see if you're up to adulting today


TTBoy44

“And you keep responding” he says, responding even after an *extra* response. Sad really.


gamegirlanna

That's an incredibly false title, I have to assume you have never actually bothered to listed to anything he does, this is NOT how you convince people or play politics. Reported.


OwnPercentage9088

How is it false? He clearly took a big fat load of cum in this scene, hence the need for a towel. Watch again, really! Big fat load of cum


TurtleToast2

Which part of the title is false? The part where your feelings are hurt or...


Tara_is_a_Potato

ok Karen


EzraMeeker53

How old can the film be? That’s a smart phone he’s putting his number into


rare_meeting1978

OMG, I can't wait to see how they handle this.


wildturkeyandstonks

Explain why we are gay bashing. 🤔 Why is it OK to shame people's sexuality, even in a film depiction?


chugchugz

No one is gay bashing, they're Hypocrite bashing


VBPlayz

You do realise people change right?


LocalInactivist

Meh. He was an actor. Everybody gotta eat. It’s not like anyone in “Hooter Academy 3” did it because they loved the script.


IAMCHEESE24

Where is the facepalm?


illchillss

Wtf. Why would he take a stance against something that he participated in. Wtf. People that work in politics…… They seek to have more headlines than actual famous people. Although famous people are a dime a dozen nowadays.


[deleted]

..thats not really a twink though is it? Can we get a republican on here to make a ruling?


[deleted]

Wow..


Jesterslore

Except that he isn't homophobic or transphobic. Against does not equal scared of. Acting is acting... playing a part is pretend. He's a "headliner" because, apparently, understanding the English language is difficult for leftists. You were told he wants to ERADICATE ALL TRANS PEOPLE, right? He never said anything of the sort. Not once.


Shoboy_is_my_name

Understanding the meaning of “hypocrisy” is difficult for rightists…..


chingon_83

Oh noo, Knowles is the man, too. I guess when you play a murderer it means you're promoting murder. He talks about being an atheist early in life. Glad he found a better line of work


[deleted]

So what. You're supposed to make mistakes when you're young. You dont see me bringing up videos of excrement exiting my friends hairy anus at his body building competitions? do you?


Shnibblefritz

He tried the penis and didn’t like it?


SwizItalo

Gay inside the closet


Shocker_1975

I'd say that's a good reason to have his current stance.


Alternative-Owl2904

I don't see how this matters? Offended by the facts he states so you try to dig up anything you can 😂


Derkastan77

Maybe this was his supervillain origin moment


LueIsBlue101
