Right, but when you see someone using the logos of companies mostly known for being evil at the moment to spell out “gayman” wouldn’t you wonder if this person is doing this because he thinks gay men are as evil as we think those companies are?
Excepting y-combinator, which he seems to have thrown in just to manage to spell “gay.”
Y Combinator is a huge driver behind the AI push, not sure why you think it’s not part of the evil empire if the rest of them are? Matter of fact, OpenAI grew out Y combinator while Altman was president.
As for the other thing, I could see how it’s a joke aiming at those rich people and NOT gay people. Some 15-20 years ago, gay was used pretty much how “cringe” is now, without sexuality even being important. I reckon a ton of people have called someone gay online without actually hating gay people.
I didn’t know anything about y-combinator since like 2008 so that one threw me off.
The person who made this calls people and things gay all the time. Now, not 15-20 years ago. I’m nearly 50, so I have a lot of experience seeing gay used as a bad thing.
Which… what you’re saying was an example of. Using gay to mean bad, shitty, awful, cringe was homophobic and insulting. That’s the reason we don’t do that any more. Except this guy does. Often. Because he’s homophobic, and so he made this homophobic meme.
