CW: Queerphobia: Just had someone shout a slur at me while I was out rollerblading (hexbear.net)

Let's break this down, he saw me while I was:

  • On rollerblades
  • Wearing a rainbow tie dye hoodie
  • Hair tied back stuck through my helmet
  • Literally dancing while I do this

He chose to blow through a stop sign to catch up to me to tell me how much of a f-t he thought I was.

Uh...thanks for the affirmation I guess? I think it's pretty clear what I'm up to over here. Glad to know I'm nailing the look I'm going for! I genuinely laughed when it happened and I'm at home now still laughing. Sure, that's harmful language and it has absolutely caused me and others harm and will again, but in this context I just find it fucking hilarious.

Anyway fellow queers stay safe and stay queer out there don't let them get you down sicko-queer

Yes I only posted this to brag about my new rollerblades I'm so happy about them they're awesome I'm awesome you're awesome okay that's all

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

I hope you get really good on the blades and do cool tricks and stuff

Getting into a four car pileup to tell the person rollerblading I think they're gay.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago

He got me good I had no idea

[–] [email protected] 38 points 7 months ago

How it feels even culturally presenting as anything to the left of Eric Cartman in Amerikkka.

This shit is always classic. Dudes will all but literally climb on top of their moving vehicles to call you a slur. Had a dude driving stand up on the seat of his moving Chevy Tahoe and climb so far out the window that his waist was visible above the roofline of the SUV so he could point at me and call me the K-slur for... existing while jewish in the prairies. Like, why?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That's the same guy calling you anti-Semitic for calling to an end to genocide. Chuds have no brains at all

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

i mean i figure that guy specifically probably hates israel, but hates palestinians too, and thinks they're basically indistinguishable from jews

[–] [email protected] 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

How did they even know you are Jewish just by looking at you?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 7 months ago (1 children)

bet you looked good as hell.

still though i'd consider getting and carrying a weapon.

Some of my coworkers are into guns. I recently bought a Beretta 92FS that used to be a pig service weapon. (It was cheap at an auction and the fact a pig gun is now reappropriated in a queer commie's hands feels kinda good, like I've rescued the poor gun).

Anyway I told my coworkers I could go shooting at the range now with them if they want. One of them tilted his head and said "But I thought you were gay?"

[–] [email protected] 15 points 7 months ago

One of them tilted his head and said "But I thought you were gay?"

lmao, just tell them "Yeah why do you think I got a gun?"

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

"But I thought you were gay?"

lmao they'll learn

[–] [email protected] 21 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I relate because, as a self-identified f----t, that's the highest form of validation I can get.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (2 children)

i wanna be able to say it on hexbear

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Me and the tslur tbh. Need to be able to give people slur passes lol

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Please no

[–] [email protected] 4 points 7 months ago

This is the best idea. I know that I'd not be able to control myself is slur passes were granted. I'm a part of so many marginalized groups that I'd have too much power!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 months ago

Ik I'm joking

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Just say that you mean a cigarette or a bundle of sticks!

I'm sure the 1984 won't mind!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

i don't mean those things. i mean me and my friends.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Jacques posting for real

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago

Hell yeah living your best life. Glad you found some humor in his bigotry

[–] [email protected] 16 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

One time I had a guy stop his truck, pull over, and get out to yell "get a job hippie f*g" (I have very long hair) from across the street. Which was very funny because I was on my way to work and he was driving a spotless truck with a contractor decal on the side and I had a sneaking suspicion he was a small business tyrant so I flipped him off and yelled "yeah okay dude get a real job I'm on my way to work to sell your wife your dinner"

Dude got beet red and almost walked into traffic to come confront me. Kinda wish he tried.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"I'm on my way to work to sell your wife your dinner."

That should be in a movie.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 7 months ago

New site tagline.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago

Gay the pray away!

[–] [email protected] 14 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Honestly this owns. Rock out with your blades out

[–] [email protected] 13 points 7 months ago

Alternatively, these blades don’t fades

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Damn he fucking got you good ig

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago

Maybe it was like an always sunny situation and he was trying to stop you from roller blading into a man hole

[–] [email protected] 11 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I got called the transphobic slur like seven years ago before I identified as nb and it felt really bad. Made me hate myself for a while.

I got called the slur again while out on my bike a few weeks ago and pleasantly waved. It was some Karen style woman in a giant assault style SUV. I have a giant trans flag sticker on my bike and a dangly nb keychain. Also I'm wearing doc martens. Like yeah lady, I'm the neighborhood tr---ie, no shit lmao

I'm glad to know other people have this same feeling I had. Like a kind of "yeah duh."

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

this happened to me a couple times going out with my very very straight cis housemate for lunch/errands. It usually is over before I even process it's happened but one of the times it was pretty affirming ngl, and the other it was just... bizarre?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago

how much of a fat he thought I was

dem?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Dude once cut through a parking lot and got out of his car to call me gay slurs and shove me, all cause I cussed when he nearly hit me while I was walking home from school. I did get a chuckle cause I'm sure that was the first time he stepped out of his car for anything other than walking to his porch or crossing a parking lot. Absolute cager.
