A lot of people on the left are criticizing the use of homophobic humor for cheap laughs at Trump, so at least they don't die on the hill of defending their own.

So for a conservative cartoonist, "hate speech" is insulting the President and/or his stooges. (But only when the President is a Republican, obviously.)

gently caress the Tumblr crowd; Colbert's use of "cock holster" wasn't homophobic.

I don't understand why it's homophobic. It's someone servicing someone else. I think people complaining about that aspect are either concern trolling or just don't like Colbert and are grasping at anything they can.

It's "haha, isn't gay sex funny? Having sex with men makes you weak and laughable." It's trite and stopped being funny in the 90s

Yeah, there's definitely a homophobic aspect to it, and considering other cases like all the liberals plastering that Putin caricature everywhere, it seems worthwhile to call people out on weaponizing homophobia.

You think that's what they wanted you laugh about though? The gay aspect and not just trump being subservient to putin? I think you have to read into it to find it being a gay joke, and I definitely don't think they intended for that to be the funny part of the punchline.

To summarize:

A guy being investigated just fired the guy in charge of the investigation, at the recommendation of a guy who had to recuse himself from the investigation because he was implicated in it

The third guy, in a letter explaining why the investigator needed to be fired, cited something which a lot of people consider to be a big reason the first guy has the power to fire anyone in the first place. Oh, and that guy is the President of the United States.

I don't give a poo poo what Colbert intended, there's a million ways he could have made a joke about Trump being Putin's puppet without resorting to calling a violently homophobic dictator gay.

It is though. Like not outright, blatant homophobia, but the context of suggesting that one man is sexually subservient to another as a derogatory insult cannot be without a level of homophobia inherent to it.

Honestly, if you sent what I just typed back to me two years ago I would worry that future me might have had a stroke because that's the most logical explanation for me writing that gibberish.

And yet, somehow, things ended up happening that made my last post make perfect sense in context.

This is the darkest timeline.

This is from Garrison's election art book. Why do conservative cartoonists insist on slapping their political beliefs on dead people?

If this is from the election period, could it be that it's a reference to Warhol's comment about everyone being famous for fifteen minutes?

Seriously shut up. This is not homophobia. Stating that two politicians are in bed with each other is not some new concept. The fact they are two men does not somehow make it homophobic. You're either projecting or seriously an idiot.
