Gotta love how they rewrite history. Having been a teenager when the “Leave Brittany Alone” video happened, I can confirm everyone was making fun of him for an insane public freakout, not his gender identity.

No one had even heard of genderwoowoo identities in those days. It’s enough to make you nostalgic

The 2000s was truly a great decade, I think. Music was great, homosexual spaces were still popular (and lesbian spaces still existed), Jobs saved Apple, there were a lot of great films, social media was still in its infancy, and all the gender stuff was barely a whisper. I actually do miss the 2000s.

I personally miss them and the early 2010s too. People were less uptight and there was so much less drama. My partner and I were just talking about how so much of we grew up on (The Office, Arrested Development, Austin Powers, Harry Potter, etc.) couldn’t even be made in today’s climate. We were also talking about, oddly, how it was easier to be gay than it is now.

how it was easier to be gay than it is now.

That’s the ironic part. I don’t remember what the gay community was like in my country back in the 2000s because I was still a child back then, but I could see that there was some sort of gay culture. In Ireland we had no marriage, no civil unions, no adoption rights back then, but I’m sure we had a culture that was cohesive.

I would still argue that it is easier to be gay now than in the 90s, even with all the trans bullshit. Nobody blinks when I mention my "husband", whereas in the 90s I had to be circumspect about my love life.

I came out as a teenager in the mid-80s. That was a weird time to be gay, looking back.

I'm personally nostalgic over the internet of mid-late 2000s. That was the true golden age of the internet.

Same. Except for the second half or '08-and '09.

The double whammy of citing a thing that didn’t even exist yet and ignoring why something actually happened.

I almost long for those days, because YouTube wasn’t as censorious and the content was edgier. Also, people weren’t as stupid.

There's a reupload of the video Leave Brittany Alone and the comments are...defending him.

I think the video is a crock of shit and he made it in the first place for attention.

this guy is 100% pure homosexual gay. who the hell is he going to convince he's secretly a straight woman inside a gay man's body?

Stop with the "they" shit! Thankfully there is only ONE Chris Crocker and not two or more.

Crocker also explained that they are afraid of transitioning in case it impacts on their income, which primarily comes from their sex work on OnlyFans.

That's what he does? Only Fans porn? Oh great....

I don’t know about other gays, but I personally don’t find Chris Crocker to be attractive. I doubt he’d lose much money from only fans if he got a “sex change”. But there are a lot of men who are interested in transgender porn for some reason.

I know next to nothing about OF so I'd be lying if I expressed any emotion at all (e.g. surprise) about Chris Crocker having an OF page. But let's just say that if I visited OF pages, I would find nothing compelling in the least about Chris Crocker. Like, who would pay to see him naked? Not me.

I wouldn’t go on onlyfans anyway. If I wanted to watch porn, I’d watch it for free. Not that I should be watching it though.

I remember seeing pictures of him as of a couple years ago looking bearded and fairly butch. Wonder what happened?

The pandemic I think is slowly driving us all nuts.

[–]cutenoobies 14 insightful - 3 fun14 insightful - 2 fun15 insightful - 3 fun -  (1 child)

I guess he has to stay relevant somehow because his onlyfans isn't paying anymore.

[–]JulienMayfair 14 insightful - 10 fun14 insightful - 9 fun15 insightful - 10 fun -  (0 children)

His porn career must not be paying enough.

Edit: I googled his porn videos, and he mostly seems to be a top, telling some kid, "Take that fucking dick." Because we know that's one of those things women say . . .

As if he'd still be relevant if #freebritney wasn't a thing lol

Round 2 of his 15 mins of fame.

I was just rewatching some old videos of B. Scott, who now identifies as nonbinary after a homophobic debacle with BET (Black Entertainment Television). Chris Crocker went to B. Scott's house in 2008 to do an interview, and they danced [baaaadly] together. No rhythm at all. Chris said he couldn't do the "duckwalk".

That's disappointing. I kinda liked that he went through a gender non-conforming phase as a teenager and then seemed to settle into a more comfortable appearance. Guess since he's still femme , that means he's trans 🙄
