CW: Queerphobia: Just had someone shout a slur at me while I was out rollerblading (hexbear.net)

Let's break this down, he saw me while I was:

  • On rollerblades
  • Wearing a rainbow tie dye hoodie
  • Hair tied back stuck through my helmet
  • Literally dancing while I do this

He chose to blow through a stop sign to catch up to me to tell me how much of a f-t he thought I was.

Uh...thanks for the affirmation I guess? I think it's pretty clear what I'm up to over here. Glad to know I'm nailing the look I'm going for! I genuinely laughed when it happened and I'm at home now still laughing. Sure, that's harmful language and it has absolutely caused me and others harm and will again, but in this context I just find it fucking hilarious.

Anyway fellow queers stay safe and stay queer out there don't let them get you down sicko-queer

Yes I only posted this to brag about my new rollerblades I'm so happy about them they're awesome I'm awesome you're awesome okay that's all

[–] axont@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

I hope you get really good on the blades and do cool tricks and stuff

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Getting into a four car pileup to tell the person rollerblading I think they're gay.

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

He got me good I had no idea

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago

How it feels even culturally presenting as anything to the left of Eric Cartman in Amerikkka.

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This shit is always classic. Dudes will all but literally climb on top of their moving vehicles to call you a slur. Had a dude driving stand up on the seat of his moving Chevy Tahoe and climb so far out the window that his waist was visible above the roofline of the SUV so he could point at me and call me the K-slur for... existing while jewish in the prairies. Like, why?

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's the same guy calling you anti-Semitic for calling to an end to genocide. Chuds have no brains at all

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

i mean i figure that guy specifically probably hates israel, but hates palestinians too, and thinks they're basically indistinguishable from jews

[–] disposable_cracker@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How did they even know you are Jewish just by looking at you?

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

bet you looked good as hell.

still though i'd consider getting and carrying a weapon.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Some of my coworkers are into guns. I recently bought a Beretta 92FS that used to be a pig service weapon. (It was cheap at an auction and the fact a pig gun is now reappropriated in a queer commie's hands feels kinda good, like I've rescued the poor gun).

Anyway I told my coworkers I could go shooting at the range now with them if they want. One of them tilted his head and said "But I thought you were gay?"

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

"But I thought you were gay?"

lmao they'll learn

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I relate because, as a self-identified f----t, that's the highest form of validation I can get.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

i wanna be able to say it on hexbear

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Me and the tslur tbh. Need to be able to give people slur passes lol

[–] SnowySkyes@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Please no

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

This is the best idea. I know that I'd not be able to control myself is slur passes were granted. I'm a part of so many marginalized groups that I'd have too much power!

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 3 points 1 year ago

Ik I'm joking

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just say that you mean a cigarette or a bundle of sticks!

I'm sure the 1984 won't mind!

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

i don't mean those things. i mean me and my friends.

[–] RangeFourHarry@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Jacques posting for real

[–] Rx_Hawk@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

Hell yeah living your best life. Glad you found some humor in his bigotry

[–] Chump@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Honestly this owns. Rock out with your blades out

[–] Chump@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago

Alternatively, these blades don’t fades

[–] someone@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Gay the pray away!

[–] SerLava@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn he fucking got you good ig

[–] LeninsBeard@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Maybe it was like an always sunny situation and he was trying to stop you from roller blading into a man hole

[–] axont@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I got called the transphobic slur like seven years ago before I identified as nb and it felt really bad. Made me hate myself for a while.

I got called the slur again while out on my bike a few weeks ago and pleasantly waved. It was some Karen style woman in a giant assault style SUV. I have a giant trans flag sticker on my bike and a dangly nb keychain. Also I'm wearing doc martens. Like yeah lady, I'm the neighborhood tr---ie, no shit lmao

I'm glad to know other people have this same feeling I had. Like a kind of "yeah duh."

[–] Hurvitz@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

this happened to me a couple times going out with my very very straight cis housemate for lunch/errands. It usually is over before I even process it's happened but one of the times it was pretty affirming ngl, and the other it was just... bizarre?

[–] What_Religion_R_They@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

how much of a fat he thought I was

dem?

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

Dude once cut through a parking lot and got out of his car to call me gay slurs and shove me, all cause I cussed when he nearly hit me while I was walking home from school. I did get a chuckle cause I'm sure that was the first time he stepped out of his car for anything other than walking to his porch or crossing a parking lot. Absolute cager.
