re: Are you straight? Then it’s your fault that Bros was a spectacular box office failure

I now wear with pride the label of "homophobic weirdo".

Gay dudes do not cause me fear. I talk to gays, don't cross the street if a gay person is on the same side of the street, work with gays, can hang out with them...

However, I have a visceral response to gay men showing affection towards one another. Its reflexive, like throwing up when you eat something disgusting. So, if that is homophobic, then I am guilty.

Again, don't care if you are gay. Go gay all you want. However, I do not want to witness you *gaying on each other. So, if that is bad, then go frick off. Because I can't control my biological response to gay men any more than you, a gay man, can control your lust for other men. Its how I was born.

*Unless hot female, then gay on each other until the cows come home. I find that appealing like eating ice cream with chocolate syrup on top.

I don't think you should feel ashamed for your natural thoughts to other people's public physical affection. If watching some people having inappropriate levels of PDA makes you sick, then that's not something you can control. And if you like another group of people expressing inappropriate levels of PDA, that's also not something you can control.

What you can control is your actions - but I don't think you are running up to women and acting inappropriately or threatening gay men just because they are holding hands. That would be wrong and highly immature.

But you can't just will yourself to stop being disgusted by some activities just like you can't stop yourself from finding other people attractive. It's your natural response. Sort of like how a gay person can't just will themselves to be straight. You can't just ignore your natural response that way. You can't control what you are attracted to any more than anyone else can. Maybe you were born that way or you have developed those preferences through environmental factors - but it's out of your control. All you can control your own actions - and that's something that's expected of every adult.


You are not homophobic if you don't want to watch a movie that shows homosexual activity. That word is thrown around way too often, and is almost as meaningless as the word "racist" today.

While you should control your actions - you should also embrace who you are, understand yourself, and have pride in yourself. Or is that a message that only the LGBT crowd is allowed to have?

especially in certain parts of the country, just didn’t show up for Bros.

Is that the same parts of the country he literally told to not go see the movie?


He told half the country, some gay people included, to not go see the movie, and now he's mad that those people did not go see the movie.

Billy Eichner thinks straight people are to blame for his gay rom-com flopping at the box office over its opening weekend.

Billy wants to blame me? Fine. Hey, Billy, behold all the fricks I give that you’re upset I didn’t watch your shitty gay arse movie.

How stupid. I'm straight and not homophobic. But I'm also not the least bit interested in that movie.

An inconvenient truth that will never be mentioned by the outrage brigade.

These queers can do what they want, I don't care. But I am not going to pay to see a movie about it.

For my entire life, “phobia” meant “fear of”. Now, in 2022, it means “disinterested”? Got it.

There is no way I'd go watch queers play grab arse for 2 hours. I wouldn't go for 100 bucks, maybe and I mean maybe for a grand.

Id have infinitely more fun smoking a joint, listening to music and tinkering in my shop.

When I saw previews for this movie I could tell it wasn't going to be great and I would argue it has nothing to do with anything that involves gay people.

When was the last really good comedy made? They don't make really good comedies anymore.

You had Coming to America back in the day right? Funny as hell, it seems like every scene had something funny in it. Fast forward to a few years ago when Netflix did Coming to America 2. It was rated PG13. As soon as I saw that I knew it was going to be a shell of itself.

Hollywood has "woke" content. Yall think the Hangover would ever be made in today's world? I like funny, I don't care if its gay people or not, but this had the same feel as that dumbass bridesmaid movie.

It was supposed to be hilarious.. And I think some people go watch a movie and just say whatever the movie is, about the movie... They go see a comedy "it was funny". Bridesmaids was probably when the "woke" comedy started flowing into hollywood.

But then lets add in the gay factor.

It was a rom-com. Who mostly watches rom-coms? Women. Some shite happens, at the end a man & woman falls in love and its the perfect relationship, blah blah. What I am pretty much getting at is that their target audience, whether they realize it or not, are gay people.

Within the gay population there is a certain percentage who enjoy going to movies and within that group there are people who enjoy comedies. That's not that big of an audience.

You want to make money with a comedy? You have to have some attractive women, some attractive men and they are put into a situation that can happen, but doesn't happen everyday. You have to have a stereotypical black person at some point and a over the top white, white person.

There has to be a run in with a culture Americans are not familiar with. Like some Asians (including people from Idia). A fat person. Gay works if a straight dude ends up around gay people who think the straight dude is gay. And you need someone that isn't all there. An autistic type. You put all of that together and you got yourself a really funny movie,
