We need to talk about homophobia in the helluva boss fandom because there is no fucking way this comment(about Stolas) should have over 11,000 likes

And this isn’t the only one. People make comments like this about Stolas (and other fictional effeminate gay men) all the time. Worse, they make comments like this about real people!!! It just happens more in fandom spaces because its safer to project bigoted views onto fictional characters without the worry of push back. The issue is, you share these spaces with real people. You share these spaces with real gender non conforming gay/queer men who will see these comments.

Not only that, but the way you engage with minority characters can sometimes be an expression of internalized biases. Especially if it’s a pattern. Sometimes it’s more explicit, like those ass holes who complain when a person of color is casted in their favorite nerd franchise. Other times it’s more subtle, like consistently being overly critical of characters of color in a way you’re not with white characters.

“But twink isn’t a slur” yall say.

I know a lot of y’all are young, so I’m going to take this in good faith and explain it to you. Using a word associated with queerness to criticize a person is using coded language.

Coded language consists of seemingly neutral terms that individuals use to negatively describe identity and thus maintain oppressive power structures.

An example of this I saw growing up was Adam Lambert on American Idol. He was closeted to the public, but most people clocked him as a gay man. The judges were constantly saying he couldn’t win because he was too “theatrical”. This was their coded way of saying “too gay” because theatrics, or theater in general, is largely associated with the gay community.

Historically, gender non conforming gay men have been subject to more criticism and outward bigotry than masculine presenting men. Because they’re seen as being a bigger threat to the patriarchy.

(And when I say historically, I mean this was happening in the times of ancient Rome and Greece)

This is why a lot of queer people also feel comfortable using twink in a derogatory way. Because yeah, they might be gay, but they’re not like those weird gays with the winy voice. They see themselves as respectable queers, even if on a subconscious level.

So here’s the rule: if you’re using twink as a synonym for something negative, that’s homophobia. If you’re calling a person a twink while simultaneously insulting them, that’s homophobia. Lastly, if you still don’t buy into what I’m saying, ask yourself why we don’t use terms associated with masculine queerness(like bear) while criticizing people in the same large scale way.

This post comes from Jewish pride always on Instagram 🇮🇱

They Do Not represent the Jewish people!!!

They embarrass the Jewish people!

Anti semitic Jews who hate their own is disgusting to me🤮 and it makes me sad too 😞

At the end of the day if there were still gas chambers , they would be side by side in it with those they hate .

Tragic 💔

They are homophobic ( Israel is not )

They blame Jews for the holocaust yet also deny the holocaust 🤔

Ignorant anti semitic and they are used as token Jews to hate their own kind 💔💔💔

Tragic and disgusting at the same time !

They stood side by side with people holding Hezbollah flags screaming death to Israel and yet a lot of them live in Israel 🤔

How stupid is that ?

Please don't lump us together for most of us will NEVER be your token Jews !
