  I’ve made plenty of those jokes by now, iæand i can tell you thats not the case for anyone i know 🤷‍♂️

  The joke is a cult leader sucking cock while his cult hates cocksuckers 😂

  But we don’t mention the cult in the jokes, because then the joke doesnt trigger them.

    to be blunt, I don’t believe you

    if you call someone a cocksucker, it’s obviously intended as an insult

    telling me actually you think sucking cock is totally fine and it’s actually just about the hypocrisy of the cocksucker is not believable - that’s not why these memes succeed, people are just enjoying labeling Donald Trump as a cocksucker in a pejorative way

      As a person who has sucked a cock or two, I appreciate your instinct to protect, but maybe this is an “I’m not comfortable making this joke, but they are allowed to” situation?

        hm, I hear you - but I think that would have to be embedded in the context of the meme; it’s not like anyone knows you are a “cocksucker” in a non-pejorative sense; homophobia is what makes the meme successful, and I don’t think anything changes from the fact that you happen to be creating or sharing it

        basically the homophobia is in the audience that interprets and receives the meme, the meme succeeds because it plays on that homophobia, and so the meme is “homophobic” in that sense

        I have trouble imagining these memes being shared and being popular gay communities I’m a part for that reason - the audience might find the implication that sucking cock is itself wrong as homophobic and uncomfortable

        it should be clarified that when I point out the homophobia, it’s not meant as some attempt to cancel the memes or indicate loyalty or protection to Trump, instead I’m just trying to point out reactionary threads that remain, the way misogyny and homophobia are common even in anti-Trump sentiment
