    But how can it be used in a derogatory way? Just because the user thinks it's derogatory doesn't make it insulting.
    LMK if I'm being too logical here.

      It used to be a standard thing that young people said to express disapproval.

      "Ms Johnson said I can't make up the homework I missed because I forgot my bag yesterday."

      "Sorry bro, that's gay."

        I haven't encountered that IRL, but when I see that on the internet, I just assume it's being used ironically.
