I actually gave him the benefit of the doubt for a long time- made excuses for him but now that his incel army wants to show up in my feed- nah, in retrospect Linus 100% thought I was going to suck his dick for access to Floatplane. Fortunately, he has you to suck it instead.
The point is that was literally my point when all of hexbear piled on me about how it’s “inherently homophobic”
This… proves that it isn’t! I am vindicated. Like it can’t be inherently homophobic until “uhhhhh this context makes it not,” the fact that context moderates its interpretation means that it is not inherently homophobic.
