I don't mind the ad per say, however... Cant they actually get a drag queen to dress/make  the cheerleaders look like actual female impersonators? Lame. Oh well

TMBT 3.22.11 // TBTWB 1.17.13 // ArtRAVE 6.3.14 // C2CT 5.28.15 // TJWT 8.13.17 // CWT 9.8.22 // TMB 7.22.25 & 7.24.25

Oh here we go with the FEM hating again...  SMH  🙄 :madge:  :bye:

 

lol I feel like you don't get my point. I have nothing against feminine guys. People say that i'm a lil bit feminine too. I don't fully act like a woman but i know full well that i'm not the most masculine acting guy on the block. It's sooo not about THAT. 

It's about the public image of gay people. I hate that most people think that being gay equals being feminine and this ad does not help that AT ALL.

Why do you feel the need to be aggressive about it? That kinda attitude is not gonna help us have an actual conversation about serious stuff. I guess it's easier to just call someone a "fem hater" huh  :emma:

I''m not being aggressive, I'm just pointing it out & honey, I have had this conversation with so many people over the years that I can't even count anymore...  In the end, sometimes all you can do is call people a 'FEM Hater!'  Being degraded for who you are by other people who are just like you, not only hurts like ****, but is TRULY hypocritical to say the least.  I completely understand where you are coming from tho with the media's representation of gay men overall...  And that that representation SHOULD actually represent the ENTIRE spectrum of the LGBTQ community.  It's just been in my own personal life experience that when someone complains about the "stereotypical" way gays are portrayed in the media, that person usually turns around and takes that frustration out on certain members of his own community if you get my drift.  :classy:

I'm glad that you understand me. I'm not hating on anyone and especially not the people in my own community. I feel your frustration but try to stay strong + give out as much love as you can :unicorn:

LMAO! actually i haven't gone to sleep. 8 just watched 8 episodes of walking dead.

 

but this kid is a prick. he like tried to drag colton haynes about coming out 

Omg, that was HIM? Drag ha, little haynesters! :grr:

But coming to the ad, it's use of stereotypes and clichés is rather awful than funny, I like politically incorrect humor but if there is no purpose in using such stereotypes... keep it.

Ugh.

I'm so annoyed by this ad and i didn't expect to be annoyed. I'm starting to hate the word "Gay" tbh. I'm gay and i don't feel/look like that kid on the ad (who looks super stereotypically "gay" btw) and i don't relate to it in any way. But that's what society thinks gay people look/act like and it makes me so mad.  :grr:

What a cringe fest tbh 

Your life sounds SO hard :'(

Why?

What is your aim? This is clearly sarcasm so i'm gonna respond accordingly. I get that answering with a sarcastic comment is easier than actually expressing yourself but you don't have to make fun of my comment when i'm talking about something that really bothers me and i DID NOT mean to offend anybody. Being a loving + kind person to others pays a lot more in the long run than being mean

Kind of cute and cringeworthy at the same time tbh. Just continues the stereotype that gays can't be sportsmen and/or like the real superbowl :interestinga:
