"Fellas, is it gay to use a straw?"

Fragile snowflake weirdos more obsessed with dicks than I am, and I'm gay as fuck.

It is important to keep stressing the "weirdo" line. It's super effective.

Calling a reactionary a weirdo got me banned in one of the political communities recently. Mod called it attacking language

[–] Radiantprime@feddit.uk 25 points 2 months ago

That mod is a weirdo

Name and shame. The top of every sub should include a breakdown of the mods and their moderation stats. The way it's currently designed enables propaganda and misinformation as much as Reddit ever did.

it was on politics @lemmy.world, it was jordanlund

the comment that was removed that got me banned for questioning the mod

I like to suck on straws with milkshakes so hard, that my cheeks implode.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Like a reverse Louis Armstrong.

~~Satchmo~~ Suckmo

[–] frazw@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Only if you suck until the creamy goodness reaches your lips.

[–] oce@jlai.lu 7 points 2 months ago

Depends if the straw was made from fossilized unicorns or not.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 7 points 2 months ago

I don’t care for dicks, but I do love to suck

Are you using staws in your vanilla ice cream shakes tho?

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 8 points 2 months ago

That's a good point. You may be attracted to men and enjoy having sex with them... but Fox News only says you're gay if you use a straw for a fast food drink.

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Any time you close your mouth over something and suck, you a gay man! That’s why real men don’t own Stanley’s!

[–] Vilian@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm gay as fuck.

How much straws do you use?

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

None. I deep throat all bottles and cups and then pass all remaining plastic through my superior digestive tract like a real man. /s

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 3 points 2 months ago

Amazing. I wish they had contacted you to speak at the DNC! Or the RNC, for that matter...
