No I see a bunch of patriotic straight males having a good time but instead you used this image to make a bs claim

LOL!! Normally, I'd advise one to search "Masculinity overcompensation as means of masking deep-seated homosexual inclinations is quite common in males" before making assertions but, seeing as how you've already painted yourself into a corner, I'm obligated to ask: are you feeling threatened by that true statement? Are you maybe experiencing some unwelcome satori vis-a-vis your own feelings checking out the rainbow array of dudes in the pic?

If you think this BS is what people actually think then you are far beyond helping your just forcing and ideal that most people want nothing to do with on them

You don’t have to be masculine to be cool or accepted I’m not very masculine and I fit in to our society well even with all the mentally ill out on the street

No-one said you need to be to be masculine to be cool or accepted nor was any assertion made about you being mentally ill. That's the sound of your own insecurities you're hearing there, bud.

You did not understand the point the point was masculinity overcompensation is a load of lard because you don’t need to be mentally ill to think that you need to be more masculine I looked up the definition of this “illness” all it is is a normal reaction to a threat they are increasing their masculinity to appear strong in the face of another animal that may be trying to prey on them while this doesn’t apply today because of human development it did at some point even if it weren’t true the statement that they use it to hide homosexuality was pulled from nowhere. me nor anyone else who looked at this picture could see any resemblance of homosexuality or any other form of sexuality mental illness

No-one said one must be mentally ill to think that they need to be more masculine; again, your imagination is leading you off into the weeds.

You can’t assume homosexual intention of someone who wants to be masculine in fact almost every homosexual I’ve ever seen is far from masculine

You still felt the need to reply to it and tell me off as you said yourself this is a insignificant stream that nobody uses anyways

"And you got upset when I said I don’t see any homosexual intentions and the thought that is masculine overcompensation is a load of lard"

You're allowing your own emotional state to color your view of your debate opponent. I didn't get upset; I was actually quite amused by your comment and denoted said amusement with the term "LOL".

I didn't assume, I simply posted known data and invited the viewer to draw their own conclusions based on the content of the image in conjunction with said data.

And now you're dodging the questions in favor of ad hominem and marginalization gambits so I'm obligated to ask again:

-are you feeling threatened by the true statement "masculinity overcompensation as means of masking deep-seated homosexual inclinations is quite common in males"?
-are you experiencing some unwelcome satori vis-a-vis your own feelings checking out the rainbow array of dudes in the pic?

Only asking because avoidant behavioral displays are quite common in confrontational situations wherein people with latent homosexual inclinations or who are closeted homosexuals are suddenly at risk of having said latency/closeted status exposed.

To answer you questions HELL NO I am not threatened by your bs because your just some random schmuck on the internet the only think you can do to me here is say stuff. And I do not see any inclination of homosexuality, trans, or whatever other mental illnesses you see as inclusiveness

Okay, that's your story and I'm going to operate on an expectation you'll stick to it.

And yet, out of all the posts on Imgflip, you zeroed in on an obscure image tagged only as "proud boys acting tough," posted in one of the least visited streams on the site and proceeded to have an imagination-driven blatherfest in the comments over the true statement "masculinity overcompensation as means of masking deep-seated homosexual inclinations is quite common in males" while everyone else who viewed it shrugged and went on about their business. What happened there? Were you actively searching for beefcake and the template caught your eye or were you just hoping to ogle some Proud Boys and one thing lead to another? Or... given the neophytic state of the account you're using, are you one of a multitude of politics stream butthurt dwellers who've taken a run at the windmill, gotten thrashed then decided to alt-stalk me to other streams hoping for a chance to take a swing? You wouldn't do something cheap like that, would you?

On that note, you may insist the true statement "masculinity overcompensation as means of masking deep-seated homosexual inclinations is quite common in males" is bullshit all you like but it doesn't make you right, it just makes you either willfully ignorant or a liar.

Also, you're still allowing your imagination to lead you off into the weeds to the point of making sweeping, telepathy-obligate claims about your debate opponent. Not a good plan.

And, as you've yet to address the citation of Steve Miles, offered protestations of not caring "who these people are," I must reasonably deduce you looked him up, found out he's a far-right winger, former gay porn star and member of the Proud Boys -which runs in direct contradiction of your unsupported, sans evidence claim of "Fun fact the people in this picture are actually far right protesters the exact opposite of the demographic of people you portray them as."

In the future, it might be best if you steered clear of engaging in absolutist pontification.

Oh, I have another question for you -this one concerning your attention to detail: did you spot the rainbow? Not that I'm saying it's significant, I just find its presence in a photo that includes a pink skull and crossbones and guys hanging on each other a bit sus.

Holy yap first of all second you decided to go along with it so don’t get pissed at me for saying what I believe about something I happened to find
0 ups, 2w
You're assuming an emotional state in your debate opponent. For the record, I'm not "pissed," I'm simply using questions to challenging your position based on available information. Also, you're dodging the questions and engaging in marginalization again.

Yeah it’s called being bros that’s not anything romantic or sexual it’s just something friends do. So no I don’t see any evidence of any form of homosexual interest
0 ups, 1w
That tracks given the OP is about masculine overcompensation as a masking behavior to conceal homosexuality rather than overt indicators of homosexual interest. Speaking of which, observe the image more closely, take note of the trouser tents.

LOL!!! You understand you're asserting that people on the far right can't be gay, correct? And while we're on the subject, since we're talking about the right-wing extremist Proud Boys, do you know who Steven Miles is? Do you think he gave up his preferences when he joined their group?

Look I don’t care where you got this picture from nor who these people are but you can’t just say they are hiding that they are gay by saying that they have “masculinity overcompensation” it honestly sounds like a load of bs that you just saw on and article and yes I looked the propaganda outlets people call news are saying this stuff is real when in reality all they did was pull it out of their ass and call it news

Nowhere in the meme did I say they're homosexuals or that they're exhibiting masculinity overcompensation; that's your imagination telling you something happened that didn't. Which is why I'm obligated to ask for the third time:

-are you feeling threatened by the true statement "masculinity overcompensation as means of masking deep-seated homosexual inclinations is quite common in males"?
-are you experiencing some unwelcome satori vis-a-vis your own feelings checking out the rainbow array of dudes in the pic?

And for the second time:

-do you know who Steven Miles is?
-do you think he gave up his preferences when he joined the far-right Proud Boys?

"you can’t just say they are hiding that they are gay by saying that they have “masculinity overcompensation"

Your words, bud. So what's going on there? Is your memory so short that you can't remember what you've said from moment to moment or are you just engaging in denialism?

Additionally, I've not accused you of anything; I've simply asked questions. Everything after that is your own imagination telling you things happened that didn't.

I know what I said I don’t see the conflicts with these two statements I never said you accused me specifically I said you accused them as in the people in the picture so I think your the one who needs to check their memory

Oh, incidentally, there's a reason why I posited the question "Can you spot the rainbow?" at the time of the OP's publication. If you wish to understand the phrase "rainbow array of dudes," look closer. Observe rather than reacting.

And where is the accusation in OP? State it.
