    At least in the clip, from what I gathered it doesn’t seem like he is talking about queer people in general, but the people who are part of popular online queer discourse. Like he qualifies who he’s talking about in the first opening seconds and it’s not “all queer people in general” and I think it’s uncharitable to make that claim. I also am not going to defend any of the language he uses but that is a separate matter from your second point.

    Like idk he’s extremely vitriolic but from what I’ve found it’s always about people with ideas he disagrees with, not over a person’s identity in and of itself. Except bottoms, he really hates bottoms as an ongoing bit that gets really grating at times.

      Oh I see, he doesn’t hate queer people just online queer people! That’s just the phobic equivalent of qualifying a sexist statement by saying it’s about white women (speaking of which he’s also wildly sexist)

      Fuck him and fuck you for defending him
