How about we normalize being flamboyant and colorful for straight adult cisgender men instead of re-enforcing the idea that any deviation from being a boring frumpy dump of an old man means they must be some type of queer. Isn’t this just re-enforcing outdated gender norms?
idk, i read this as a joke about how being emo isn’t accepted once you’re past a certain age, and how that age is higher for women. don’t get me wrong i do think straight cis men should be allowed to be flamboyant and colourful, but i don’t think the meme is against that
I am not flamboyant myself. Along with being a strongly introverted AuDHD computer nerd, I am a straight adult cisgender man with a long beard and literally wearing a red & green flannel shirt right now. I’ve been trying to wear natural fibers lately and it’s 100% cotton coziness.
The frumpy dumpy path so many in my demo seem to assume is their destiny can fuck alllll the way off. We need people to share their interests and be flamboyant if that’s what’s in their heart!
God forbid we allow a spark of joy in our hearts to reach out and improve the existence of another human, right? Especially when we could have spent more time being good worker bees and consumers of product and content, so that a few sociopaths could watch a number go up and wait for the contentment that will never come.

My hot take was in the early 00’s the emo movement was the start for alot of ppl questioning their gender identity.
Hell yeah!

Flamboyant and colourful emos?
We called that scene.
Almost an arms race
Yo
Thank you. There can be overlap due to repression but the immediate label does reinforce stereotypes.
