At some point between seeing the thread and clicking on the thread, the “f\*\*\* you” was removed and replaced with “expletive pronoun”. That’s really the only thing of entertainment value in this thread. Seriously, **Crayons** , your outrage meter needs to be recalibrated. ---

Seriously, you are pitting him for the “where to buy a gay” thread? Really? If you had pitted me for being a Straighty McStraight shoving his unwanted outrage on behalf of the gays that’d be perfectly justified, but this is different. What the fuck is wrong with you, Crayons? ---

In the interest of clarity, so that sides can form up properly… 😉 > [@How Does One Go About Getting A Gay?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/how-does-one-go-about-getting-a-gay/592426/69): > > If other gay men want to reinforce the idea of the fag hag, that’s their business.

Are you annoyed when “gay” is used to refer to non-sexual characteristics? Is it different when gay men themselves use the word this way? Is it not acceptable for someone to have friends on the basis of cultural characteristics that appear to _correlate_ with gayness? ---

Those who might have been fooled into taking the thread seriously, at least at first, are also probably those who might have been fooled because they thought the thread not at all funny and just plain stupid. ~raises hand~ And all that goes to show is humor is subjective, no big deal. It should work both ways. If you don’t think something’s funny doesn’t mean your breakfast cereal has been contaminated by piss or shards of glass. One of the lamest pittings I have ever seen. ---

As long as they don’t try to use it as a shorthand for those characteristics, I don’t care. ---
