He looks like what Andrew Tate is trying to go for (but failing miserably at).

Andrew Tate looks like someone tried to draw Pitbull from memory.

You almost caused a spit-take, over here. No shit.

[–] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

That is such a mean thing to say... about Pitbull.

This guy didn't have to rape or traffic to get laid.

I actually started to say THIS EXACT SAME SENTENCE, in the meme. I'm not shitting you.

I typed it and deleted it twice, eventually deciding "ehhh, maybe not everyone will see that, and I kinda don't even want to type their names in the same paragraph."

But yeah, it's absolutely the truth. Silverstein had real masculinity, in a way that the current "alpha male" crowd could never hold the slightest hope of attaining.

But, ya know, they'd probably call him gay, the second they found out he wrote poetry. As if there's anything wrong with being gay, goddamn. Society is backsliding at warp fucking speed.

You made the right call. Someone else needed to say it.

Society has never been so tolerant before. More countries are legalising Gay Marriage and giving LGBT equal rights. Yes, there are steps back like Uganda, but not even a decade ago Gay Marriage was unheard of in most western countries. Less than a century ago we were demonizing war heros because of their sexuality, see Turing.

Don't confuse noise by a few extremists online with "society".

Don’t confuse noise by a few extremists online with “society”.

Let's all pray you're right, come November.
