But, now in earnest: Is there a homophone in there that I am perhaps missing as a non-native speaker? Because I don't see any and may not entirely get the joke..
In case you are asking about the original post and not the follow up joke, its a reference to western gay culture, which may be a bit difficult to explain, as there's a few layers to it.
It's not actually a homophone, but I was just extending the homophobic/hobophobic joke. Where instead of going from homo to hobo I went from phobic to phonic. Also calling back to the post title.
