Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

I hate him saying "get your mind out of the gutter" as if even thinking about people who are gay is itself a perverted sexual act.
Gay people exist. Acknowledging this and discussing whether a piece of media is directed at them is not "mind in gutter" stuff.
I don't want to go so far as to say this person is homophobic, but it sure does sound like some internalized homophobia, perhaps.
He knows the audience he’s playing to
Bingo!
“the gutter” here is the idea that the YMCA — a youth organization helping out young men in need — has sexual intentions in its existence.
That would be sketchy as fuck.
You've got some impressively long arms for all that reaching.
