Growing area of darkness engulfing this small lit triangle

[sovay]

I am in the middle of several other things at the moment, but in a moment of internet downtime I ran into this article about white nationalist cis gay men as recruiters for the alt-right and I had two immediate reactions:

1. When I read a line like "The Negro is the shock troop. The Jew is the ultimate beneficiary," the only thing I can hear is Henry Gibson.

2. Well, that's the first time I've ever seen the Jews blamed for propagating straightness.

....what the flying fuck?

ETA: I had to stop reading that article. My eyes were bleeding. I just, no.

*hugs*

For antidote, I suggest Claude Cahun. They are way better on the eyes and just about everything else.

*belated hugs*

That's a good antidote, thank you! I need to find out more about Cahun... *edit* They look amazingly *modern*, don't they?

They really do, and the way they seem to have thought of themselves looks "modern" to us, too. Some people anticipate their century. Or maybe they helped shape it, which I could also live with just fine.

I'm watching Monkey Business at the moment, and I've got to admit, the Marx Brothers *are* being rampantly heterosexual.

Hook 'em with surrealist humor. That's how it starts.

I just rewatched that t'other day! *honk!*

"...gay men who like his macho looks and straight men from the "pickup artist" culture and the manosphere who are desperately trying to learn from him how to be manly."

Did anyone else read that sentence and have a sudden flashback to Gay, Bejeweled Nazi Bikers of Gor?

I've tried three times to reply to this. :( Incoherent sadness is as close as I can get.

I can't say that's not an appropriate reaction.

I'm not reading the article because I don't imagine it's safe for my blood pressure but wow, wtf.

It is definitely not blood-pressure-safe.

[dewline]

Same here. I already know too much by knowing of the article's existence.

Wow. "What the ho ho?!" is definitely my first response, though the idea that Hollywood would be wonderfully, rampantly gay except for the Jews is...something else, seriously. Amazing, and not in any sort of good way.

I mean, it does make me think I should put together a list of famous queer Hollywood Jews. This could take a while.

Jesus, that article. Thank you for linking it, though – I had no idea this existed, and I like the author's ideas at the end for combatting it.

You're welcome. I am also glad that people respond not just with horror, but with defenses.
