It's really weird to describe a woman in politics with her sexual relations to other people. Can't think of any man that has been described that way. Smells like misogyny tbh.
Edit: Yikes at the downvotes. Guess I forgot there are mostly ex-reddit people here.
I personally didn't interpret "mushroom gobbler" as a homophobic slur. I thought OP was alluding to the fact that she has about as much lucidity as someone who's high on mushrooms.
I could be wrong though, I'm not American.
Yeah like they said it isn't homophobic to depict a woman as someone who sucks dicks, because that is a straight relationship, but it could be considered misogynistic to reduce her to her sexual acts or whatever.
Mushroom gobbler is a reference to a "mushroom tip," or the head of a penis.
Ah gotcha, cheers
