Welcome to /c/Gay - Your LGBTQ+ Haven
We're more than just a community; we're your haven for celebrating LGBTQ+ culture and connecting with like-minded individuals.
Community Rules:
~ 1. No bigotry. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person. This includes speculating about someones sexuality, no matter how "obvious" it may be.
~ 4. Keep it LGBTQ+ related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love posts but 3-4 in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.

Which is ironic, because it predicts toxic masculinity 20 years before it became a widespread phenomenon. Andrew Tate is basically Tyler Durden/the narrator in real life.
err... toxic masculinity has been mainstream since the beginning of recorded history.
-Professor Paul Cartledge
That’s giving Andrew Tate WAY too much credit
Toxic masculinity has existed for all of recorded human history. Hell, the whole fight club mentality in the movie was basically adults having the same kind of fight culture as high schoolers having fights after school to prove how tough they were to themselves and others.
It did do an excellent job of predicting internet based toxic masculinity, or maybe it was an inspiration for those that didn't understand the point of the movie.
Lol you think fight club is about masculinity and not mental illness?
Hahahahahahahaha
Omg that's hilarious
Eh I'd be open to hearing an argument about how the movie or book comments on the interplay between caustic masculinity and mental illness. I don't think the script would work without it.
