you could have just left it at ‘he’s a comprehensively bad dude’; your second sentence just reads like you’re being homophobic. I know what you are meaning to say though, so I am gonna give you an opportunity to edit this instead of just removing the comment outright - don’t disappoint me comrade
You mean because of the specific word “homo” in the sentence? Curious, because English isn’t my native language and I haven’t really been able to grasp in what contexts it’s usable. Pretty much only seen it used derogatorily. But as a shortening of the opposite of hetero, I could see it being like recaptured or something idk
If it was me personally I wouldn’t care that much (speaking as a gay man who had an awful grindr hookup less than 24hrs ago) since it’s pretty clear OP wasn’t using it as a slur and instead just a shortening of ‘homosexual’, but it can be read negatively really easily and got reported which is why I asked OP to edit it.

Yeah exactly that.
