Honestly though, this 'sportsball' theme is rampant here. People pretend as if the jock high school trope is real and the biggest gay haters and pieces of shit in the west are those who enjoy sports and watch it. I don't know where you folks grew up but the 'jocks' were usually the least likely to be bullies and fash bellends in my school. Just like how it's fun to smash someone skull with a sword in Elden Cringe or shoot someone's face in CounterStrike, it's fun to watch people smash into each other and to do it your self as well.
I had two homophobic piece of shit jocks that harassed me in highschool over 20 years ago. They were on the wrestling team so I knew I would get fucked to hell and back if I did anything physical about it. My first year at the school, too.
In later years most of the jocks I met were cool with me. One of my bullies even pretended not to recognize me later on because I think he either regretted it or it was because the friend introducing us was also on the wrestling team and was a foot taller and had 60lbs of muscle on him. Who the fuck knows.
The "jocks are bad" narrative for me was both written and unwritten by the behavior of jocks. 'Don't judge a jock by his jockstrap,' I guess.
Uhh. I grew up in Texas for a few years. The jock high school trope was, at least twenty years ago, extremely violent and extremely real. I hope things have gotten better but when I was a kid the only thing Texans cared about was football and god, in that order, and they were absolutely happy to beat the shit out of you if you didn't publicly display sufficient interest in those two things.
Some of the best people I have met were Texans and I have never been to Texas. You know what that means? Texas is good at one thing only: forcing the cool people to live somewhere else so we get to reap the benefit of their fine company.
Oh and I guess their style of BBQ is pretty good, but again, we can do that outside of the reactionary confines of Texas and its glassable panhandle.
Yeah, comrade. You think the dumb violent jock cultural center was LA? And it's not just Texas. Huge swathes of the USA abide by that "You will love God and Football or else" thing.

I'm sorry that happened to you but maybe it's more because you lived in fucking Texas.

I feel you but It's just not the same in the Midwest. People are a bit different here, especially closer they are to the urban areas.
ok, so you grew up in Opposite Land, that's nice
we literally have !sports@hexbear.net
go join a gay sports league and ask the folks there how the locker rooms were in their high school. you're in the minority
there are gay sports leagues? I need to start getting into sports more
Oh yeah. They're a ton of fun.
