hi, sorry, this feels like a given and like a post i shouldn't have a reason to make because its so obvious, but like. we understand that sunny has not stopped making fun of mac for being gay right. like they've just shifted from "haha mac is gay but hes in denial! look he wants to oil up men. lol charlie called him gay and he didn't get the joke" to "haha mac is the creepy weird hypersexual gay dude that cant take a hint and is in love with dennis even though he doesn't feel the same way and jerks it to his bible and crashes the office computer looking at porn" like they didn't. i love mac and i'm not at all saying my problem lies with him coming out, but in a lot of ways his coming out was just a way to revamp the jokes they'd been making for a decade or so because they were starting to get bored with them or whatever, while feeding their egos at the same time bc they're like. "progressive". mfhip (which is an episode i do like in it's own way, to be clear) isn't some fucking triumph its them just ignoring the fact that they've turned mac's sexuality into such a caricature for one episode so they can be like "look.... look he did a dance look ! gay rights solved :) look at us look what we did! you're welcome :)" and then immediately go back to like. everything else.

#again this seems obvious like! it takes .4 seconds of critical thinking abt who rcg are as people to realize that mac coming out is not #like. i mean not that it isnt important but its definitely not as much of a hashtag win as theyd like to have you think #but ive seen a lot of stuff lately on here thats just like. huh. #look if everyone already knows this and im just an idiot or missing sarcasm or whatever else then. happy days thats a good thing #ignore me. but that really doesnt seem to be the case for at least a reasonable section of sunny tumblr #even that stuff of them at pride a couple years ago like. honestly it makes me really uncomfortable #and theres a case for 'theyre trying !' maybe but. they arent is the thing #oh also just because i know how likely bad faith readings are here id like to be crystal clear that im not calling it weird/creepy to be #hypersexual i understand the psychological connotations of hypersexuality. im using it in the context of the very common harmful #tropes against gay men & lesbians of an obsession with sex to the point of being driven to massive invasions of boundaries/even assault #that's treated essentially as a side effect to being gay. (commonly known as the predatory gay) #im not sure how clear this is because im tired and a lot of this is taken from tags i wrote out on someone elses post that i took bc a) it #sounded too hostile when they didnt really deserve it and b) it was kinda unrelated. so if you want to talk about this/clarify smt/anything #else shoot me an ask oc :] #ok going to bed now. probably its inviting bullshit to tag this but im doing it anyways #iasip #it's always sunny in philadelphia #ben.txt #rant
