Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.

    I’m not sure why you call it fake gay. While it’s not universal, it’s still common among gay men.

      I guess “fake gay” doesn’t sound right, maybe “stereotypically gay” is more apt, like it was a thing to specifically “sound gay” and and say things to demean somebody. Like, yes, there are gay guys that sound stereotypically gay, but it’s probably not right to mock a person using a voice like that. It’d be like mocking somebody with a stereotypically urban black person’s voice (“ebonics” from way back), like yeah, some people do sound like that, but it’s still not something you should be doing to mock people.
