    Master Chief is intentionally never shown without his pants because he’s transmasc w/o and marketing hides it to preserve sales.

    Don’t fall for it. Demand video game developers start proving their masculine heroes are cis men.

    All those colours are in the pride flag, therefore anything that’s not black and white is woke gay propaganda /s

    “Well boys, the atmosphere is trans, we’re breathing in the soystrogen right now… corrupting our precious bodily fluids… gonna be the last straight sunrise we ever experience… they gay bombed us, we’ve only got minutes untill we begin growing tits and ravenously fucking each other to death.”

    … I feel like something approximating that either already is or could be a red vs blue skit.

    sigh these guys really just need to suck a cock and get it out of their systems.

    Incomprehensible to me how stupid you would have to be to be able to shit out such a malformed and worthless thought for the sake of getting upset at something completely imaginary.

    The internet sucks.

    Master chief has always been trans, that is to say transhuman. Also I’m pretty sure the dudes ace and is romantically involved with Cortana in some way my autistic ass can’t quite comprehend.

    Checked the account thinking it was maybe satire, but nope - just a vile ragebaiter. People can seriously suck.

      Before, satire was easy. You could just make a message internally inconsistent and people would eventually realize “this can’t be a real person’s avowed opinion, because it doesn’t make any fucking sense.”

      And then Death took on subcontractors to expand its market to communication.

      Cue the idiots: i.e., influencers.

        Ragebaiting is good for engagement and shareholder value. Or are you some kind of communist tankie that is against folk making an honest living???

          As a communist tankie, nobody should be living, for I am a monster hell-bent only on the destruction of Western civilization. I love American.

      It was so utterly ridiculous and straw grasping that I was convinced initially it had to be satire.

      Reality really is disappointing.

      I get the joke, but I’m getting tired of people behaving as though all these people just so happen to also be queer because “haha they don’t want to be called gay and insecure.” Like, gay men are the most likely group within the queer community to turn traitor because of their socioeconomic privilege, but it perpetuates this idea that queer people are only ever threatened by each other and not a system that functions to eradicate them.

          This is important, though I also want to emphasize that my comment is meant to draw attention to the fact that even if they are secretly gay, their ability to benefit from betraying the rest of the community is only possible because of their position in the racialized and heteronormative hierarchies of imperialism and settler-colonialism. To focus on the moral failure of individuals like that is to ignore the systemic conditions that both enable that failure as well as our shared persecution. Queer liberation requires the dismantlement of these institutions, which means we must be critical of how position effects the choices that individuals make.

          This article is good to point out that many homophobic and misogynistic social norms are reproduced through this self-hating narrative, and that is also something that every queer person should be noticing in liberals at the moment. Since more overt fascists have shown up, it has become more acceptable among liberals to rely on notions of white masculinity, ability, and strength to demean those that they view as morally impure (especially so since their bigotry is not the primary cause for liberals’ disdain of these groups of people). Liberals use jokes like this not just because of their ignorance of the latent queerphobia within them, but because they view them as opportunities to express that bigotry with impunity when a more “deserving” target of that ridicule has been presented to them.

      No, you don’t understand! Imagine you want to show your buddies a game and the first thing they see is this BLATANT display of the gay! They’ll have no choice but to conclude it’s a gay game and you too must be gay! The horror!

        I can imagine the conversation with the bro he’s trying to impress, who’s totally straight, too. Something along the lines of "Bro, a rainbow? That's so fucking gay, bro! Like, two hunky dudes kissing each other in the mouth gay, bro! That shit only girls like, bro! It's girly, bro! That's why I only hang out with real male bros, bro, even during sex!"
