*please note i deeply value and respect the vegan movement. i am just critical of how humorously it precipitates in online spaces, particularly this one. :)

genuinely curious, how is 'butthurt' 90s homophobia?
It isn't. It's in reference to "having a stick up your ass", which means being uptight and overly serious. Because they are stiff, as though a firm rod had been run the length of their body.
People also mistakenly believe that to be a homophobic phrase too. Mind you, there's a slim distinction here. Telling someone to "shove it up your ass" could be considered homophobic, though I think of it as just rude. I feel like context would matter a lot here.
The youth today think everything insulting must be a slur of some kind and are obcesse with moral purity.
The youth today have nothing to do with it. It’s reactionaries who take a genuine issue (people using actual slurs) and apply it to situations that work in their favour (acting like ‘carnist’ or ‘cishet’ are slurs).
I can't find anything except random tweets saying as much, and a medium article behind a paywall saying it isn't.
So... I have no idea either.
