    Sounds more like an attempt to be funny and bigoted against a gay man. Congrats. You aren’t funny, but you succeeded in your bigotry.

      And just how in the hell is that bigoted? Man’s a huge dick. Unless he dresses up like one in the bedroom (which would be admittedly hilarious) his being a neoliberal stooge has fuckall to do with his sexuality. I just. What are you even doing?? Are you so sensitive to homophobia that a negative comment about a gay man that mentions dicks must be becauze I’m a homophobe? Should I have called him a corporate-loving cunt instead? Sure, it’s a gendered insult with a history of sexism far more problematic than calling him a knobhead, but hey at least its not homophobic. If so you might want to take a break from the internet.

      I, a man, have sucked at least as many dicks as he has. But while I have blown many rooms full of dudes, I have always been very careful to never blow a room full of wall street execs. He really can’t claim the same. Fuck Pete B, and fuck you for trying to use accusations of homophobia to derail legitimate pushback based on his actions as a public figure. Stop weaponizing my sexuality.

          … Are you trying to call me bigoted while invoking the spectacularly homophobic stereotype of gay men being self loathing because of their sexuality? Because even ironically that’s pretty gross to fall back on.

            “I know you are but what am I?” Is a deflection tactic used by children. And it’s hardly convincing anyone.

            Don’t try to hide your bigotry by accusing others when they call you out on it. it’s obvious projection and crude. Not to mention predictable.

              I see how you think that’s what happened, but no. I was responding to obvious bait by talking past it, and drawing attention to the fact the stock retort of “lel gay man hates self for gay bcz conservative (or whatever)” is incredibly hypocritical when people are baselessly accusing someone of being a bigot. But, I’d really appreciate if you can point to where I was being a bigot! I’ve been accused of it, but man I just can’t see where I actually… am? Whereas that one critic did regurgitate a particularly tiresome piece of homophobia. Cheers.

                It was already called out, and pretty clearly. If you’re having a sudden attack of amnesia, simply scroll up to previous comments. And your twisting of events doesn’t hold water, because we can all read the comments and see what actually happened here.

                And, no, not every piece of criticism against you is “homophobia”. You’re not the victim here.

                  Um. No. It hasn’t been. People have pointed out it wasn’t a funny pun, but nobody has pointed to anything I’ve actually said as specifically problematic. Or bigoted. Or like, anything besides attempting to taunt/bait me? It’s been very smug.

                  Seriously, can you do this for me? What’d I actually say that was bigoted?

                    Multiple comments point out that it’s bigoted, and the offending comment has even been removed by the mod.

                    Clearly your problems also extend to only seeing what you wish to see…
