    Deciding that it’s specifically the gay men’s subset of wealthy people doing what’s portrayed in the OP is kind of wild.

      Well it’s just a happy coincidence I suppose that a lot of rich gay men are not only frequently republicans (some even work in the Trump admin all the way up to his cabinet) but also are heavily represented in dystopic and abusive tech companies and business ventures

      I should have been even more specific and said white too (edit: I literally DID say white lmaoo sorry but I’m standing by it)

      Edit: rich gays seem to be rich first and gay second so don’t rush to their defense

      The commenter didn’t mention the gender of the group they want to single out, and “gay” is used so often as a synonym for “lesbian, gay and bi” nowadays that I see no reason to not assume that’s what they mean.

        Deciding cis queer people are the ones doing what’s in the OP also isn’t any better?? Why does the homophobia of straight people need to be blamed on their targets?

        I’m sorry but it’s also just bad media interpretation. Why would a queer person burn a rainbow flag while telling someone the fire will go out before it gets to the part that represents you, not us?
