You know, for one reason or another I won’t bother you with I’m still in the WhatsApp group of my childhood friends.
They’re a bunch of dicks, and tbh were I to meet them today I’d avoid them like the plague, but a couple of people in there are actual friends, so I stick around.
Anyway, the humour in the chat is that of many WhatsApp groups, jokes about women, sex and so on.
Boomers humour, so to speak, even though we’re all X-Gen.
Sadly, 80% are jokes about gays, which can get fairly nasty at times.
A couple of weeks ago I actually said “hey, how come you guys always joke about gays and trans? Like, all the time? You know who does that? Closeted homosexuals”.
Then I linked a few articles of random gay-bashing Republicans who were caught fiddling kids and were forced to admitting being gay.

“Rings a bell?”
I haven’t seen a gay joke in the group since.
Pedo =/= homosexual. Kind of a fucked up suggestion on your part.
