Yeah you’re right. One has been much more widely used. Then it fell out of favour in a big way when people realised how stupid, cringey, and damaging it is.
It went from being said nonchalantly by everyone to now almost exclusively being used in an ironic fashion by people who aren’t straight. I know I do.
Let’s not try to have some kind of weird, pathetic culture war with straight people as some kind of quest for retribution.
Even if one is “less bad” according to some made up metric you decided on, why would you want to stoop to the lesser of two evils? Why don’t we all just not use someone’s sexuality against them?
What’s offensive is using someone’s sexuality as an insult as stated in the OP. It doesn’t matter how you try to justify it. It’s a dick move. I don’t care if you’re gay. I’m also gay. It doesn’t give anyone the right to be an asshole.
I’m literally just saying don’t insult anyone based on their sexuality. That’s it. Nothing more nothing less. The rest you are making up in your mind. It’s wild to me how a conversation can go from “don’t use someones sexuality as an insult” to “you don’t care that gay people are getting executed” without me saying literally anything about straight people or gay people.
Both can be funny in the right context. Furthermore, using “straight” as an insult doesn’t uphold any kind of systemic oppression, so I have a hard time reading it as anything other than a joke.
The most problematic thing about it is that it is reminiscent of homophobia, but y’all gotta learn to make the difference. Giving bigoted straight people a taste of their own medicine in a context where it cannot possibly hurt them (unlike actual homophobia) is funny.
Listen to your mental gymnastics. Just don’t insult anyone with their sexuality. Period. You could take it even farther and just say “don’t insult anyone” Seems pretty safe to me.
Buddy, I didn’t insult u. I just said listen to what ur saying and maybe make better choices. Now u literally are insulting me. I cannot with u. Goodbye lol.
Neither are good

Lol imagine trying to take the moral high ground by saying you hope I fall off a cliff. Nice 👍
