i think that might just be twitter, but i have noticed a huge rise in casual homophobia from cis straight women (despite a decline in straight men) in the past couple years, at least in gen z
on tiktok and ig reels, there's constantly a new way to call x group of straight men "gay" without actually saying the word "gay" (and they always claim it's not homophobic)
"fruity," "zesty," "๐ ", "fruitcake," "closet is glass," "gun pink," etc., the most annoying things you can think of. i've heard it out in the wild too.
swear in 2023 it was like every month there was a new homophobic audio trend. "mmm, this one has a little sweetness to it," "de-nial is a river in egypt!" and the caption will be something like, "when he cares about approval from his guy friends more than his own girlfriend," or "when he says 'sorry' instead of 'my bad'"
Ladies, is it gay to apologize to someone?
Anyone who does this, just call them a fujoshi or a porn addict if they look like they touch grass. Shuts them up real quick, especially if they are implying you're a pervert for not conforming to whatever arbitrary rule they made up.
"Of course you want to imagine me gay, you fucking fetishist."
