      I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.

      Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.

        It’s a way for people to recognize that times have changed and that by making jokes ironically it means that yes they are accepted as gay and that we do acknowledge that it was a real struggle in the past

          Yeah, exactly, I thought that that comment was forcefully trying to find the post offensive
