That is one sus typo on queerbating. Or maybe just hedging your bets to get a point either way.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Depending on how you spell it, I think the arc already began.

Didnt Ariana Grande write a song about being in love with another woman? That’s a bit past queerbaiting, isn’t it?

And have you seen her appearances with Cynthia Erivo?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

No, other than what I hear in their music, I don’t pay attention to celebrities. I just happen to have a couple of her songs in my playlists.

To anyone with questions:

  1. Chappell Roan is a famous pop star. The Grammys are a music awards show. Chappell Roan is an advocate for women and LGBT rights.

  2. Trump refused to accept his loss in 2016. One might suggest that he's refuse to accept he died

  3. Snapbacks are a type of hat that were popular in the 90s and are not currently cool

  4. Ariana Grande is a famous pop star. Queerbaiting is dropping hints that you're gay (whether you are or not) to draw in more fans.

  5. Hawk Tuah girl is the girl from the viral video that I would be shocked you weren't at least aware of. She already started a podcast to cash in on the 15 minutes of fame.

  6. Rihanna is a famous pop star who hasn't released an album in awhile

  7. Travis and Jason Kelce are NFL players. Travis is dating Taylor Swift. Taylor Swift is a famous pop star. They are wealthy.

  8. Pretty sure "Rare Slime" is just a joke

  9. Minecraft is a video game. A Minecraft Movie is coming out with mixed reception

  10. Bethenny Frankel is the CEO of Skinnygirl and a popular TikTok influencer

To the people who think they look cool by pretending they don't get this list: Wow it's so cool that you live under a rock! I don't follow pop culture that closely but the only one I had to google was Bethenny Frankel so I don't believe you're that confused

O-OP didn't write -baiting as in luring: O-OP wrote -bating as in onanism.

It doesn't make any more sense as gratuitously made-up words go - so fetch - but I wanted to be clear on which made-up word OP was writing.

(Unless we assume O-OP didn't proof what he wrote and also OP still reprinted it instead of waiting for the correct version)

I can't know what they really meant but between "misspelled slang" and "clever play on words that I just don't understand," I'm heavily inclined to assume the former since this is just a silly list they made

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

Fetch isn't going to happen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

The Bethenny Frankel one was the only ones I didn't get, and I'm old, so yeah.

Does The View still exist?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Me neither but I'm ok with that, not really worth trying since there's enough understandable stuff around.
