It wasn't a spine but a giant dildo.
Could we maybe not attack our LGBTQ+ friends?
There are much better ways to insult a traitorous piece of shit that doesn't involve resorting to homophobic language and insults.
Since when are dildos specifically an LGBTQ+ thing?
This isn't homophobic my friend. Except if you deny cis men bodily pleasures just because you want to categorize them.
Besides that, he uses it as a prosthetic to keep him upright.
Ah, my mistake. I wasn't aware you were.. complimenting schumer for being comfortable with his own sexuality?
Do better. Our friends need to know we are allies since they are already on the front lines whether they like it or not.
Implying the presence of a dildo as a structural member(ha) doesn't negate or speak hatefully about the use of sex toys or people who use them, but it does imply he was being submissive to someone else(GOP). This has nothing to do with LGBTQ+ support. Sex toys don't belong to just them.
I need to do better? You were the one running to conclusions.
Relax my dear. Grab a therapeutic massaging device.
It turns out the real dildo was the friends we made along the way?
What was homophobic about that comment?
They need to constantly be the center of attention and a pick-me.
Schumer is male. The big schoolyard insult is that he has a dildo up his ass.
There are two ways to interpret that. One is that he is very comfortable with his sexuality and enjoys pressure on his prostate. The other being that he wants to have sex with a man or is "submissive" (and calling THAT an insult is also pretty shitty) and so forth.
The chud-lites are pretending that it totally wasn't an insult and they were just giving a non sequitor about how schumer is comfortable in his sexuality and that anyone who thinks they were calling him gay (as an insult) is the real villain. I would say that whether people can even think that with a straight face says a lot about them as a person.
You are right, this conversation was all about you after all.
Jesus Christ, you're interpreting a lot of bullshit into this.
Stop concern trolling. No one attacked anyone but Schumer.
Do you ever get sick of yourself? Cuz we do.
I for one agree that kind of sexualized criticism is inappropriate. I think a reasonable person would read it as trying to demean Schumer by associating him with other-than-straight behavior.
