katy perry has a well documented past of SAing ppl, including an 18yr old singer. drunk straight women love to SA queer women and think that they will be flattered by it. i’m not surprised
think that they will be flattered by it. i’m not surprised
In my experience all the gay guys I knew loved getting handsy with me.
They thought they could make go gay presumably with their “incredible” technique.
Didn’t work…but jeebus the amount of having to fend them off. Not to mention the never ending commentary about how I’d be better off gay.
But I don’t consign every gay man to this behaviour in the same way I don’t consign hetros who rape women as if somehow all men are rapists.
Can confirm. I’ve had way more gay men try to be handsy or to try and convince me to fuck around than I’ve seen the other way around.
Throwing a whole group of people in there with the actions of some idiots is a tiny bit rude.
Signed, a straight man who kind of likes not being treated as a rapist and murderer.
They are talking about a trend with straight people, not accusing every straight person of being a rapist. Rule of thumb, if someone critiques an identity that you are a part of and the critique doesnt apply to you then its probably not about you. Coming in and saying this type of shit makes you seem like an asshole who isnt listening to marginalized peoples’ struggles.
Like for example I hear houseless people complain about nurses and doctors a lot because they tend to assume they are dope-seeking. If I was a nurse, I would listen and do my best not to be the kind of person they are talking about. I would not tell them “You should stop generalizing, cause I don’t do that.” It feels very invalidating and makes you come off as very self-centered.
I aint gonna say people couldn’t rephrase better to avoid over generalization, but just saying that lets stop making it about ourselves when people are talking about real and serious problems affecting them. Be an active listener and dont be a part of the problem if you aint gonna be a part of the solution
Rule of thumb, if someone critiques an identity that you are a part of and the critique doesnt apply to you then its probably not about you.
Try telling that to victims of racism, homophobia, transphobia, and other forms of bigotry. It’s not a particularly sound piece of advice.
what are you talking about about bruh no one said anything about straight men. eye roll
I mean, I get it’s inappropriate to be like “what about men”. It’s pretty clear they are talking about blanket judging straight women for Perry’s actions. “Not ALL straight women” - ya see?
In my experience though, they lean towards harassing gay men over queer women. 😅
Then let me rephrase it, because I forgot it’s the internet and people will try to misunderstand me.
As a member of a non-specified group X, I would hate it if people would precondemn me based on thing Y, which a part of group X does more than the average population.
I could have picked any other stereotype, I just happen to be not a woman, and of the majority ethnicity in my country. Blame my parents.
However, based on this hypothetical, yet relatable thought experiment, saying that a group does a bad thing because some people who happen to be in that group do that bad thing more often than other people is at the very least rude.
uhhhhh no one misunderstood what you were saying - thank you for bringing the conversation back to what matters, the struggles of the most victimized group of all time. make sure you let every queer voice on the internet know what we should focus on. i really appreciate it thanks so much <3
“straight”

Per Ron White, being gay is a spectrum and everyone is at least a, little gay.
Knowing nothing about the situation, I can see at least couple interpretations of what this might be saying.
Okay, but why, specifically, a dog sitting on a face? Are there more details to the event? Or, is this just an assumption?
Orange is the New Black star Rose accused Perry of serious sexual assault on social media recently, claiming on Threads that Perry had seen Rose ‘resting’ on someone’s lap at a nightclub and then ‘bent down, pulled her underwear to the side and rubbed her disgusting vagina on my face until my eyes snapped open and I projectile vomited on her’.
Rose tweets: “Purposeful poop” to “bomb a petit” to a sloppy mess of writing over the top of Funkagenda…stop trying to make 'Wit…I mean “fetch” happen."
This references Perry’s mission statement to make ‘purposeful pop’, puns on her song ‘Bon Appetit’, and claims ‘Swish Swish’ samples dance act Funkagenda. ‘Wit’ is a reference to Perry’s album Witness, with ‘fetch’, of course, being a Mean Girls reference.
Even though they translated my brain still imploded. wat.
Jesus christ, you translated it and I still don’t see how that word vomit actually comes to that.
It’s happening.
Fetch is finally happening.
… In basically the worst and stupidest way possible.
Could it have been any other way?
That’s cool, but wtf is it a conversation on Lemmy for
Why not? You can talk about other things than Linux and star trek you know
I don’t believe you.
Jfc you sound like my therepist
I usually browse /all with anything politics and technology filtered out. It’s pretty much just Trek, Porn, and Boomer comics. I really don’t think fediverse is ready to branch out yet.
We can always call eachother fascists for disagreeing with eachother politically! A lemmy pastime!
Im not salty I swear lol.
Oh… I thought they were calling each other fashion and was so comfused!
What, what’s a fascist? Is that looks fisting or something violet keeps posing about?
It is a fashion of sorts.
Whoa, its best to not look into that last part. I mean, unless you want to. O.o
I hear they usually have great stylists
/s …sorta
Remember when fascists had a sense of style and aesthetic?
Now it’s all cheap suits, shitty haircuts and AI slop.
At least the Nazi propaganda was well made and their paramilitaries looked cool beating up minorities.
Never heard of a shitpost?
