From what I understand, AGB is where all the true gay men go ... BECAUSE all the other Reddit subs are hug boxes. AGB as a sub allows the real perspective. Gay men are being confined and ousted, just like true lesbians were.

I don't think all gay men are based, but I do think that based gay men find their way to AGB.

I have my doubts. I live in a gay mecca. Lots of trans supportive Instagram stories in my feed. Everyone is obviously full of shit. It's like when the gay community tries to be about body positivity but in reality it's the same muscular hot dudes getting all the attention. Not that I have a problem with that, I'm just annoyed with the performance of it all.

How many masc 4 masc guys posting gym rat pix on Grindr would hook up with a tiny female with her breasts amputated? None. Gay dudes gotta stop the woke shit. A man over 30 with an average body stands very little chance with these same men posting trans garbage. No "old guys," no men of certain races, nobody who isn't muscular to a comic book level (and fair enough, you seek what you want) -- but at the same time saying TMAM. Stop lying.

Honesty is dead.

You're really underestimating the popularity and appeal of bear types.

The popular bears are still hot men. I consider them in my original statement.

I'm not sure what the issue is that you're describing.

Is it that gay spaces are being taken over by hug-boxing TQ+, or is it that gay spaces are focused on physical attributes/features instead of something else?

My annoyance is the gay community at large saying one thing and then doing another. So saying "trans men are men " and "I'd be open to dating a trans man" and of course they never do.

It's the same idea about gays who preach body positivity but at the end of the day everyone just wants the hot dudes.

I don't care the community is appearances based, it's because we're men. Male homosexuals who want to fuck other hot guys. Why do we have to keep putting on this false pretense about what really motivates us ?

The problem is we don't know how much of it is hypocritical, inauthentic virtue signalling, where they tell themselves it's true but never actually expect it will happen to them and don't give it any real though, and how much of it is virtue signalling for fear of being otherwise ostracized from their social group knowing full well they'd never sleep with a heterosexual woman even if you paid them. I don't like the idea of lying and contributing to the public perception that gay men really have the hots for heterosexual women with identity issues, but it is what it is; the peer pressure is really strong, and it's undeniable TRAs have a lot of clout currently in mainstream LGBT. Though more pushback is exactly what we need to stop it...

While it’s certainly not a uniquely gay issue some have made an Olympic sport of this. It’s a purity spiral of everyone trying to be more open-minded and inclusive than the next person until their brains have fallen out and the entire alphabet is forcibly attached to LGB.

Anyway, I have wanted to make a post like this for a while, about common hypocrisies we observe among LGB people. I would say I’ve observed gay women getting indignant at the dies of being presumed to be straight while simultaneously assuming every woman she meets is straight as a default unless proven otherwise.
