The only way this take could get any hotter is if you found a word cloud on the internet to back this up.

I like that basically the same day we find out the Syria bombing was nothing more than after-dinner entertainment, the Internet collectively grasps its pearls and retires to the fainting couch because Colbert called Trump a Putin ****sucker

The one thing Republicans can get their **** together on is voting to **** over labor

So you're fine with homophobia as long as you like the guy it's coming from and dislike the target?

Which gay people were being made fun of by Colbert?

Obviously the complaints are entirely concern trolling, but the answer to your question is 'all of them' ldo. There's an implication in the joke that it's an insult to be called gay.

If you think that's the implication then you don't understand the joke.

That's also an implication that Trump likes Putin, duh. But you are having cognitive dissonance.

You're treading dangerously close to right wing raised-by-wolves "a joke has to be sexist if it's about a woman" territory

No, but it's like a joke where the punchline is that a man does something like a woman. That is usually sexist.

Sucking cock isn't just for women microbet and never really was. What in Colbert's background makes you think he intended this statement as a homophobic slur?

Hotter take: you saw fit to reply here because I hit a little too close to home once you sobered up and remembered that, for the reasons I mentioned here, you took Uber home from Fenway instead of the Green Line after you got ejected for chucking peanuts at Adam Jones.

Nothing other than his being part of a generally homophobic society. That's the context for which jokes about men slobbering on other men's knobs and all other such jokes get their effect.

So again, you think the act was the focal point of the joke, and not the recipient of the act?

I understand why PVN suspends what little logic he is capable of using in his obsessive efforts to troll me pathetically, not sure why you're going along though.

It's just odd how furious you get about Kissinger's war crimes, and here you're getting more upset about a blowjob joke than learning that our wanna-be dictator considers bombing brown people little more than entertainment.

Because you're wrong, but I don't think that means you're being homophobic anymore than the forum was generally hateful towards impaired people because it took a year to figure out that calling people ******s was bad.

Lol. I'm not the tiniest bit mad at Colbert. The monologue was very good.

Are you that partisan that teammates can never be questioned?

This is actually a difference between the left and the right, or it's supposed to be. Self-criticism is intentionally an element in leftist organizations.

Microbet, FFS your an adult wasting away your morning talking about the merits of dick sucking with LK.

This is a moment that should offer clarity about where your life is heading.

You're wrong microbet, Noodle is right. Because he called it Putin's cock holster it's a joke about Trump's Russian ties not about him being less of a man for being homosexual.

Obviously he should spend his time posting about other people's posting habits.

No it's still a homophobic joke, but here's the bigger issue:

You cannot get into this argument with these people. Everything is a Gamergate, I know, but this is absolutely the GamerGate playbook. These people loathe gays, they vote against gay people's interests, but they also know that this **** will wind up the libtards.

There's no internal coherence to their complaint it, it's insincere, and INSINCERE COMPLAINTS DO NOT DESERVE A RESPONSE.

That's true.

I'm not saying this post means you're homophobic, but your post is a joke that depends on homophobia to understand. You didn't explicitly say there's anything wrong with sucking a dick, but the joke doesn't work in a society where there really is nothing wrong with it.

Completely agree. Maybe I shouldn't take the side of concern trolls, but in my defense it's essentially behind liberal closed doors here. I absolutely will not join hornbug or mongidig or the like in attacking Colbert, who I am absolutely in support of.

I can't even imagine the thought process that went into this ad:

[Reeves]: It needs to be scary. I want to emphasize the threat of terrorists.

[Ad Agency]: No problem. So, like images of a bomb going off? Or allusions to someone being stabbed?

[Reeves]: No, closer to home. Something to scare a suburban mom.

[Ad Agency]: Oh, like she gets a phone call that something has happened at her husband's work, or maybe her child's college?

[Reeves]: No, something she SEES. Something her KIDS see. As they're all outside their house.

[Ad Agency]: Like what?

[Reeves]: They see the actual terrorists!

[Ad Agency]: How do they know they're terrorists?

[Reeves]: Because they're running out of a neighbors house with bags. And their faces are covered. And they're wearing camouflage.

[Ad Agency]: Say no more

I agree there's a homophobic context to jokes like this--but it obviously works on other levels too: submission, being a "prostitute." The joke would still work with a woman as the holster (but there would be a whole new set of problems with it.)
