Do People Realize You Can Dislike The Jokes Someone Is Making, And Find Them Inappropriate, And Want

do people realize you can dislike the jokes someone is making, and find them inappropriate, and want them to stop, and still not frame a gay man as "disgusting" and "disturbing" for messing with straight men doing gay rp in minecraft. like, that's actually just a bad thing to do!

yes, there is a very real tension in the jokes tubbo makes and in the words and rhetoric he mocks. (and yes it is clearly jokes)

but that's exactly why the fact he is gay matters. it matters very much. tubbo is gay. homophobia is going to affect him his entire life. 

fact is, fit and pac can do their little gay rp (and they do a good meaningful job! i love fitpac) and get given money and attention and accolades for it and then walk away from the computer and go about their lives completely unaffected.

the same is literally not true for tubbo (whose sexuality has been under intense public scrutiny since he was a child). he does not get to walk away from it. he will never get to walk away from it.

fit and pac, even if they do a sincere job at it, are very much playing at a gay relationship (and profitting!) in a fake world where nothing about it is ever going to seriously affect them (not even qtubbo's "homophobia"). this is completely juxtaposed to the real world, where tubbo lives, where homophobia very much has a real impact on queer people

it's that tension that tubbo is trying to eat at with his jokes. it's that tension that he finds funny. it's that tension that he enjoys making the straight creators aware of. that's the basis of it and it's completely rooted in him being a gay man.

don't get me wrong, it is an EDGY form of humour. it's meant to be jarring and uncomfortable and it's not the most appropriate for the wider qsmp audience. he doesn't always succeed with the tone or format. and i totally understand people who don't like it and are uncomfortable with it and who want to ask him to stop. i really do

dislike it. dislike him for it. ask for it to be stopped as much as you want. but painting it as tubbo randomly making "disgusting" and "disturbing" light of a real world issue is simply not accurate. removing the very real context as to why he can make these jokes and why he makes these specific types of jokes is not fair. you can do better with your criticism!

in honour of dapper's admin's arrival to the hellsite, i made us a new reaction image 🫡 doing my part for this community

I keep thinking about the town of fobo homophobia bit because its so interesting from so many perspectives!

For qTubbo it might have started as a joke but also an outlet to express his fear of being left behind with qFit and qPacs relationship becoming official. (I have definitely seen some great posts on here that are better at diving deep into it than me.)

And then there is qFit and the talk he had with qFoolish a few days ago. This whole thing is so much more complicated for his character than for most others. He comes from an incredibly toxic, homophobic place. He has just started to finally overcome his deeply rooted internilization. He is finally happy being himself, having a loving boyfriend. And thats not an easy thing to overcome! Its incredibly hard to get rid of old habits and thought patterns! But he is trying and succeeding every day a little bit more.

But if you have someone who constantly confirms these old thought patterns you fought so hard to get past it makes it just soo much harder to not fall back, to stay on track. So if qFit jokingly talking to qFoolish comes across a little more serious than he intended than maybe because to him it is a little more serious even if he hasnt realized it.

And then there is qFoolish who probably just hates all gay people because his boyfriend has been gone for so long and he has no one to be gay with.

I don’t know if it’s still Grimaces birthday nor do I care because I will still post this.
