Their mutual regard for one another transcends what they want from the relationship, which contrasts humourously with hetero norms of trying to change one other to get what you want

Being selfish is hetero normative? I'm probably being defensive but this feels like a weird statement to make.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

It's societally normative, as is heterosexuality. Correlative, not causative.

I'm here as a het to tell you that the gays do laugh at us, and it's fine

So stereotyping is suddenly okay if the gays are the ones doing it?

If your jokes made around stereotypes in queer communities are offending people the jokes are probably just veiled insults. You can do things, you just need to be at least a little versed in the community and understand how to make respectful jokes instead of demeaning ones.

Or some queer people are too sensitive. Some people live to get offended, they choose to get offended about damn near everything everyone says.

Yeah it's weird how people holding bigoted views are also often easily offended. People are people ig...

As long as they stereotyping gayness and they are gay it kinda seems ok. Laughing about your self is okay i think

Ok, but... That's not something that's funny.

It would work in a greater narrative, perhaps, where we as readers know the characters. Not this one off thing.
