Question for queer people, especially white queer people, who live in the first world; Don’t you ever get tired of using the pain and strife of queer people in the third world and previously colonised countries for humour?
Based on the replies and arguments going on in this thread I’d say no. This joke has been said countless times now and it’s never funny. YOU are not illegal in 72 countries. In fact most of these countries that persecute the queer people who live in it are more than happy to take your tourism money.
YOU live in the nice first world and this is a funny haha joke to you. And God forbid someone calls it out you all want to wax poetic and drop fancy humour and satire analyses to defend. You would all literally bend over backwards to defend your right to just say anything than show empathy or actually do something to help the people who’s struggles you make jokes about.
And worst of all is you use your own queerness as a buffer “You’re attacking another queer person now” absolutely I am and I have no shame. This is sickening.
