    In the early 2000s, proto-chuds decided wearing pink (popped collars optional) would get them laid because (yes, there's irony here) it looked superificially gay enough, so went the belief, that feeemales would think they were approachable and nice instead of just gross chuds.

    The entirety of that chud's outfit has probably been his look since that time. :frothingfash:

      Gave me flashbacks back to "Queer eye for the straight guy", where for like a decade we bought some tolerance by proving our usefulness to normies. But then they decided it was just that much fun to hate us anyways, because reasons.

      Note to self: never try to do anything for mainstream society again, embrace unpalatability.

        I don't miss that intermediate stage between sanctioned normalized everyday old fashioned homophobia on TV and today. You know, when "I'm COMING OUT OF THE CLOSTHEEEET!" was a punchline and being gay was a joke as an intermediate step toward some acceptance.

        Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt at least did a clever spin on that tiresome 90s trope: Titus Andromedon, as a character, expected melodrama when he came out to his boyfriend's gruff :anti-italian-action: family and was actually annoyed that that family accepted both of their status without incident.
