I’m bi and call stuff I don’t like ‘gay’ all the time. I also call stuff I like ‘gay’. I don’t think that the use of a term by those it applies to can really be negative as its more of an empowerment thing abt takibg the word back for the community. It’s like getting mad at people that call each other the n-word (especially if you aren’t black yourself).
Comment on The men vs. bear saga reaches the inevitable conclusion

Idk what like the girl animal “equivalent” of a bear would be, except one that I am not quite sure if it is offensive or not.
Fucking queer is super accepted now, but then I watch my daughter, who has dated women before, and is not shy or ashamed, and I do believe is still fine with doing so in the future, call her brother or someone on YouTube gay as an insult.

The current “equivalent” I’ve seen is would you rather share your emotions with a tree or a woman.

A tree isn’t going to use those emotions you shared when your were feeling down against you when she gets mad that you forgot to unload the dishwasher two months later 🤷🏻♂️

Yeah, but do you know how dangerous a tree is? It will eat you alive without mercy

Nonono, we had this discussion about the snake yesterday: the tree kills you by dropping a limb on you long before it eats you.

A tree. Inanimated objects are good listeners.

Tree, but I have anxiety issues and trees don’t trigger them

Exceptional woman over average tree. Average tree over average woman. Exceptional tree? Not sure.
