Obsessively Awful

dave spends three years examining the ways he’s internalized homophobia and toxic masculinity and explicitly ties those things together and connects them to his fucked up ideas about heroism and how it was keeping him from realizing he was attracted to guys

and bro was a huge factor in that, bro encouraged this exact bullshit by being dave’s primary example of heroism and masculinity and also actively forcing a hypermasculine + hypercompetent persona on him and making him feel inadequate and it fucked him up so bad

this is not to discount societal influence of course but listen. bro, however unintentionally, was instrumental in dave repressing his sexuality. and dave knows it.

and what this means is there’s no way. after that monologue. there is no way dave knew bro was gay.

this WHOLE TIME. HE HAD NO FUCKING IDEA.

he might have suspected but he would have dismissed it when he was younger, and he might have figured it out on the meteor but christ can you imagine if he didn’t?? he’s gonna talk to roxy and she’s gonna casually mention dirk is gay and dave is going to fucking explode
