Well yes some of it has to do with the portrayal of gay men, but a very very large amount of it is rooted in misogyny and the idea that acting feminine is a bad thing. I'm sure you've seen plenty of profiles on dating sites that will say "no fems" or "masc only" or "straight acting" or my favorite "if I wanted to date…

Unless it's a reference from The Simpsons seasons 2-9, then I am unable to recognize it as "humor"

Maybe he can make himself famous if he's hot enough. Become #1 on cam4 and get reblogged all over tumblr and then you can sell your used undies easy

Luckily for me it's more 90% joking and 10% actual neurosis, and really only applies to my physical appearance. I do think I look better with some sort of facial hair, and no way of knowing for sure until I do (and have) grown a beard. And my picture's up on the TI forum for you to judge if I look like a tryhard!

Every hook-up app is a dating app and every dating app is a hook-up app. They get lots of both kinds of people and lots of people are open to both.

What if I have a complex about being feminized because of my race and sexuality and use whatever facial and body hair I can manage to present myself as masculine because that is what our society deems positive?

Was spicoli wearing nothing but a towel again?

Context isn't limited to just speaker and listener though. The context of history and how words are used throughout history can be so strong as to trump certain contexts. He was still using the word as a way of hurting someone else, so the rest of the context doesn't really matter because it relies upon and reinforces…

Well of course, but rejecting it is not instantaneous nor perfect. People on the process of rejection can still make mistakes here and there

You're trying to put too much logic into hate. The idea that two men having sex is so disgusting and abhorrent to cause someone to hate gay men is a rationalization of a fear/hatred of the other (and a few other things). It's something that's taught, not really inherent, and especially for someone who does seem to…
