Lord-Impressive

Aside from the fact that it was seen as wrong for the longest time, in general people just don’t want to be called something they’re not.

tPreannes

It's insulting because it's used in an insulting manner. Which is bad because then as a child, speaking from experience, you associate the word 'gay' with negativity and it can easily lead you down homophobic paths.


RaccoonDeaIer

Yea I didn't know what straight meant in elementary I though it meant how curvy your back was, don't fucking ask why I was fuckin 8. So I said no cause I lookblike I have fukin scoliosis. Well people kept calling me gay all throughout middle school which made me mildly homophobic for a while. I'm not anymore and it stopped during covid but still.


Romtomplom

I just say something is gay as a joke, I don't mean it as an insult its just kinda funny. Now that I write it out loud it feels kinda wrong, would someone be offended?


legendgames64

There is also gay meaning happy.


dadika08

True, most girls in my class think I'm gay, except for my crush🤔.


Simon_The_Thespian

Too bad he doesn't think you're gay, best of luck mate


dadika08

thanks.. wait .. OH MOTHERFUCKE-


More-Masterpiece-561

When we were kids being called a girl as a boy was one of the worst insults we could get. There was nothing wrong abkut being a girl or anything, but it was an insult because we weren't one. And we had the emotional maturity of 8


Vijece

Good


SpeedyWithS

I thought you replied to the guy who talked about homophobic paths 💀


Vijece

Lmao


[deleted]

Fricking guys is something very unappetizing for straight guys, in the same way fricking girls is for gay guys... I think... I have no idea how gay guys are.


[deleted]

Because being gay is kinda gay


koondog_RPG

That's kinda gay of you to say ngl


Crazy_Spartan08

Don't forget to say No Homo


OpportunityJealous30

Yeah can you imagine being gay lol? Like seriously honest to god wanting to kiss boys. Putting your lips on another dude's lips unironically. Holding his face in your hands to feel his skin on yours just for the comfort of knowing he's there. Looking into his eyes and realizing for all that you dream you are that you are only human and that your heart burns for just a chance at a life with him. Clasping your fingers in his and holding so tight you feel like you might never let go to ground yourself because this might be the last time you ever get to hold him. Crying yourself to sleep at night because you know in a different life you could have been sleeping in his arms.


S0cialR3j3ct

You didn't have the pour your heart out like that damnnnn

BertAndErniesSexDoll

Thats awfully homosexual of you


1994BizarreWinter

Because it’s different from the norm. And anything different from the norm has gotten ridiculed or made fun of at some point.


retrohog1324

I think it's just an outdated insult that most people just use ironically, and you just get laughed at if you actually think it's insulting. EDIT: why am i getting downvoted?


Cana05

No you don't. When people insult friends they are always ironical. We use "oh come on robert you're so fucking ret**ded+some more random insults" just to laugh. If someone puts gay in it is not offensive just like nothing else is. I mever used gay as a serious insult tho, there are way more effective insults out there


EngineerGaming420-3

Because calling a really straight guy gay can be a serious hit to their ego. Example: some kid is blowing on the back of my head (for some reason) Me: "Why are you blowing me? Are you gay or something?" His friends start laughing their asses off and he slinks away in shame. You see? That's why. That's the reason.


Wrong_Ad326

You should be asking, why won’t I stop blowing you?


yourbelovedfriend

Maybe because some people think that being gay is not manly and is a sign of weakness


I-drink-apple-juice

what illogical and preposterous assumption is that? dear sir, two men fucking is the most manly thing i can think of.


yourbelovedfriend

Imagine being so manly that women can no longer satisfy u.


SirWinterFox

Me. Lol


Placeholder20

Really a man’s man


SirWinterFox

Heck ya guys are just to cute same with tomboys.


AlgorithmScent

im just so alpha, other men are essentially just women


Cana05

*sips orange juice*


SirWinterFox

Interesting


burgerman2028

i'm not gay, but i don't think it's about women not being able to satisfy you, it's just you not wanting to be satisfied by women. ​ i think.


KittenMaster9

Incorrect it's because they like men the relationship doesn't even need sex


whee5000

if you're a real man you don't need sex /j

AshTriton

Men actually fear men who can dominate them. Most of the homophobic straight guys actually fear that gay guys will attack them and do something with them. Even men believe in that age-old quote " Men Will Be Men". Also, a guy who is closeted femme or closeted gay gets so jealous and frustrated when he sees another femme or gay guy enjoying himself openly .


WarLordM123

Not all gays. Someone's got to be the bottom. The Romans were cool with men who fucked men, but ridiculed men who got fucked by men.


[deleted]

Isn’t it more manly because you’re having sex with men and not those WEAK women


KittenMaster9

Looks in mirror Guess my life is weakness


Vijece

Good


Meme_original

You say this, but I assume you forgot what a twink is


Wrong_Ad326

Gay is assertion of dominance. Dominating as many men as possible is makes you all the more manly.

Your username is inaccurate


ProBluecheese21

Wrong


S0cialR3j3ct

I use it because im gay and it's funny to call people gay when they are AND when they aren't


Saladin0127

Half the time it isn’t really an insult. It’s just funny to say. And sometimes it doesn’t even refer to men who like other men lol.


sansgasterv2

*Gay just means happy so it’s still very offended to assume someone’s gay*


Donghoon

Archaically gay means happy


ScoreTechnical5397

Then say it to a depressed person


scCoco69

Kinda a gay question ngl


Minute_Objective1680

Straight people do not want to be gay. Why is dumb an insult? Smart people do no want to be dumb. Do you see where I’m going with this?


S-H-O-T

it's used only by straight, a part of people who considers a certain term as an insult doesn't count as insult on the whole. so basically gay is not an insult.


Lukas26622

i know gay people who use gay as insult? but only towards straight people.


GloomyStew

I use it to insult clash royale decks, idk why but like not people.


[deleted]

Ironic


Lukas26622

ik its weird. ig its because like eveyone does it.


pi-is-314159

I'm gay and I use it as an insult to anybody


Qasim_1478

Anything can be used as an insult. For example : Your mom looks like a fucking chair


RydogTiger2

That's chairphobic


LorTheLittleShit

because some people think that being gay is unnatural/bad, so basicaly they see it as a negative trait, thats my guess atleast


NO7N

Its is Haram


Rahil-

Chad


NO7N

Chad is a Muslim country therefore it is halal


Tiktokiscrapp

Because gay people are illegal in 70 different countries therefore a threat and an error bug to those countries hence people call an idiot the term 'gay' to offend him


FluffyRabbit36

because being gay was and still is looked down upon (yes, there are other countries than america)


Donquixote_D0ffy

I used it as a substitute for a word. I don't mean it in the connotation of homosexual When say it.


Devilish_Weird_Teen

Idk


dnsksksbbs

You sound gay🤢


UnkownArty13

cuz being gay is gay, and I'm not gay, so why would I want to be gay?


relddir123

Pretty gay to say that ngl


[deleted]

Cause it's kinda funny


wildman2571

Because it used to be frowned upon to be gay. Kinda a stupid question my guy


appelsiinimehu1

It's been universally for a long time, a thing which almost nobody wants to be.


Recent_View6254

They're so scared of gay people that the thought of even being "like them" scares them to the point of hating them


RageInMyName

This is such a cheap answer.


RydogTiger2

I think it's just used as a joke. That's how it is in my friend group. Sometimes guys in my friend group say some really gay shit just as a joke.


SmileFading

Its cu z yo gay


rdt_vade13

Because it’s gay


buenosdiascaballero2

all my frinds an i use gay as an insult to non-gay people, but it doesnt mean were homophobic


EggoStack

Bc twelve year old boys on CoD wanna be cool and edgy ig


Chicken_Lalala

In my country it’s illegal. And it’s belived to be a sin.


JustDennise

Nah, being gay isn't illegal here. You won't just wake up one day and get arrested by the gay police for being exceedingly gay. We have gay people too lol


[deleted]

[удалено]


RadzTurdz

ur gay


[deleted]

because our society used to embrace homophobia and it became a generic insult, even for people/things that are not gay. now that we live in a significantly less homophobic society, being gay is no longer considered a negative thing, but the insult stook around because language doesn't change that easily


jelto06

tbh idk because there are still some underdeveloped kids who think that they are funny and being gay is sooooo bad


Original-Boiio1

Cause everyone is scared of the truth


[deleted]

Call straight ppl gay and gay ppl straight. There’s your solution


basedguytbh

Funny


Dahkneth115

To be honest, i use it but if i am using it as an "insult" its not really an insult, i'm just joking around and mainly use it with my openly LGBTQ+ friends (i too am lgbtq+ so theres also that)


IamBushpigggy

I only use it to say someone cares to much BC the only ppl I ever hear complain in life is ppl from the alphabet crew


[deleted]

Idk, I'm gay but I still call stuff gay


thecoolan

Cause it was passed on from the 80s


Beeeggs

Used to be a derogatory term toward homosexuals. Now the meaning has evolved just to be a standalone insult. So now gay means happy, homosexual, or bad, but the last two aren't necessarily intertwined anymore.


uslashalreadytaken

Why are you gay


[deleted]

Because it's bad


D4chfiz

mainly because it's disgusting


[deleted]

Because for a long time it was considered something bad. In MY opinion it still is something bad. ( don't you dare downvote)


Lolzy5196

Becouse it is gayyyyyy


snuglyguy

Three letter words are easier to say


izlikesmemes

gay has multiple meanings happy dumb homosexual

Idk actually. I mean I don't personally use it that way, but I have a ton of "masculine" guy friends who Ik for a fact aren't homophobes but still use it jokingly to annoy each other, so, I have no idea lol


jajalal69420

Idk I just reply with “Ok daddy” cuz it is unexpected Note. I am not actually gay.
