It's not, and for the record I said "gay bear", not just "gay". For that matter, if pressed I would identify as pansexual. The intent is that it's not meant to be degrading.
Please don't go looking for people to be bad guys - maybe instead assume good intent. You don't have to nit everything people say to find something to prove them wrong. You didn't focus on anything I was communicating - you tried to pick an argument with the smallest aspect of the thread.
- robertoandred 6y agoI’m not nitpicking anything. Your argument was that it’s all just a joke, that calling yourself gay was self-deprecating. “I’m gay, I’m a retard, laugh at me.” And now you contradict yourself saying it’s not meant to be degrading because it’s all just a joke. You’re proving the toxic culture that those kinds of communities ferment.
- throwaway3699 6y agoThe 'insult' gay has nothing to do with homosexuality anymore, and I don't know any gay bears either. Realising that puts things in a different light.
- tonyhb 6y ago"gay bears" is a play on words. Bear is a term in the gay community, just like bull is a term in the hotwife community (my wife's bf jokes apply here). Jokes happen both ways in WSB, straight or gay! It's self deprecating to go against the market and be a bear in the biggest bull run of the decade. It's foolish to do so. I and many others being bearish have lost money. This is the entire point behind GME. Like I said, it's all about the financials - not about you as a person.
