Twilight is gay.
This^^
Can’t tell if very stupid….or just very stupid
I agree, calling Twilight gay is an insult to gay people. I bet no gay person acts as dumb in a relationship like Balla… or Bella or whatever
Who cares?
^This
We will stop calling Twilight gay just as soon as gay people concede all their territorial claims to rainbows.
I agree. Where are leprechauns supposed to hid their gold these days?
Those poor poor leprechauns.
NEVER!!!! oh wait nvm I’m bi so I just get 3 colors :/ yeah I think straight people should get special colors too actually, I mean yeah we’re awesome and all, but what about the straight people!? And there ought to be some sort of limit on how many colors you can have… bisexuals and pansexuals get 3 so how about a max of 3 colors per group?
I’m only really interested in the blue end of the spectrum, so this is fine for me if we get to choose.
What a surprise to see you here -giggles- I like blue too ^_^
Straight people can have the gray-scale
Hey! that belongs to us Asexuals!
Gays, the torch has been passed to you. You must find something to compare it to.
We straights are an unimaginative people. We lack the vocabulary to describe this atrocity.
Help us gays. You are our only hope!
May I make an input for the benefit of the gay population? How about “Unintelligent and badly-written?” Actually nah, that’s actually accurate, the internet won’t have that…
Nah, it needs to be monosyllabic to be suitable for mass consumption.
Why don’t we call it “Fay”? It’s a hybrid word from “Fail” and “Gay”. People whose name is Fay will have to change their name to something else of course, but it’s a small price to pay to give the world their monosyllabic word to describe that steaming pile of excrement.
How about not as beiber as twilight???
Oh! You are absolutely BRILLIANT!!!
i believe this works
You gain 1+ Internets
Wow, that’s excellent. ”Not as Beiber as Twilight.” shall be the new thing.
How about crap?
That could actually work…
Or FUTWSNC (f***ing useless things we should not see)
OBJECTION!!! how do we pronounce that?
(fut-wuh-sink) – f***ing useless things we should not see. also known as twilight. (See “sparkles”)
lol
how about retarded?
apparently we’re not allowed to say that either. Mentally retarded will now be known as “intellectually challenged”. Sensitivity training my ass, someone needs a testicle or two from courage wolf. ::squeak squeak::
Actually, my 13 year old son is mentally retarded and non verbal autistic. They refer to it as “MR”. He also is extremely violent and has epileptic seizures. So, yeah, I get a bit offended when the phrase “retarded” is used as slang, but hey, wtf. Everyone is offended by something. Best to shrug it off as ignorance and keep going.
Yeah, actually not slang. The term has always been used to refer to things or people who were developing or growing slower than expected. The medical term came along long after it was originally used as a referrence to stupidity. If anything, rather than getting strung about people using the word as it was used since the 1600′s get upset by people who use it as a description for disabled people.
I think the point is that when people call someone or something “retarded” these days, the comparison they’re making is to a person like Bonnie’s son.
I don’t think anyone honestly believes that when something is called “retarded,” the speaker actually means that it’s “developing more slowly than expected.” They mean it’s stupid and fracked up.
To retard is to hinder, delay, or slow the progress of a function. So, technically, to call someone a retard is not truly comparing that person to someone who is truly mentally retarded.
I see no reason why those who are mentally retarded should have full legal rights to the word retarded. My niece is severly autistic and when I hear someone call another person retarded, I don’t immediately assume a comparison to my niece. That’s absolutely ridiculous. I think the person being called a retard is acting incredibly slow, which is the definition of the stupid word.
Everyone does have a right to be offended by something. I think it’s perfectly fine to just fling off the use of a word as an insult as ignorance. However, it’s also ignorant to think that someone is making the comparison you are referring to…especially when the definition of the word makes no implication towards a human medical issue.
I understand the meaning and the usage of both the words “retard” and “retarded.”
The point I was making is that when someone says, “That’s retarded,” they are not saying, “That is delayed in its development.” They are comparing that thing negatively to a person with limited cognitive function.
When a word which is used to classify an entire group of people (retarded, gay, whatever) is used as an insult, it’s ignorant and it is likely to offend a lot of people. This is part of life, I know. Most people don’t get through a day without hearing at least ten offensive things, I’m guessing. Most of the time, you just shrug it off and keep going. And for people like you, in regards to your niece, it probably makes your life a lot smoother and less stressful to just ignore it and not let it bother you.
But that doesn’t mean it’s okay and it certainly doesn’t mean that someone else might not be hurt, offended, or embarrassed by it.
Actually, that’s always how I mean it…
I am also autistic and epileptic (right temporal lobe) and I find “insulting” things or people with the word retarded is funny! I may also be a jerk though…..
Whats next? people with Diabetes being offended by the word Diabetic? or how bout those with Anorexia being offended by the word Anorexic? You cant be offended by a name if it is the legitimate medical name for a condition.
What are we musicians supposed to do when we want a piece to slow down?
Spell it in italian.
How about “Badong”?
How about we use twilight as the adjective to describe something bad?
Like Adolf “Twilight” Hitler?
Hmm, seems a bit overboard. I LIKE IT!
Me Gusta…
Yours is a very twilight idea. Wait.
“Gay people think that calling twilight gay is a twilight thing.”
Did I do it right?
That is exactly right.
This is pretty “twilight” but still not as “twilight” as Twilight.
Yo dawg I heard you like Twilight,
RECURSION.
But “twilight” as adjective would be quite strong, like bel. So you would have to use decitwilight to describe most things.
In the end, one could come up with a conversiontable like:
1 decitwilight = 1 supergay = 10 gay
thats a twilight idea
No, no, that wouldn’t work remember Legend of Zelda, Twilight Princess? That was good.
Or twilight sparkle from MLP:FiM
Ruby Rhod wasn’t gay. He hooked up with the flight attendant (female) and had voice recordings of him banging the hot daughter of some emperor. Banging hot chicks = not gay.
“Banging hot chicks=not gay”
Unless you’re a hot chick
That isn’t gay. That is les.
I knew something wasn’t right with that Ruby character. Quickly! Someone pull his gay card!
^This (to original poster)
Twilight is gay. It is not bad or wrong, but we can’t apply it. We just not curious about it.
^This. He’s right! The whole point of the meme is that they rather sucky sucky each other instead of doing Bergaa. So calling it something else would probably not be inaccurate, but would miss the whole point. And yes, to all members of the Gay Community, we are sorry you’ve had to forcefully accept such individuals. In our defense, you looked like you could take one for the team. Thanks and again, we’re sorry.
hahaha… I´ve been waiting for this!!!
His hair forms a boner…
-megusta=
LOL!! xD
Ruby Rhod is all man. >_>
So is every gay person who isn’t a lesbian.. I mean unless they’ve had organ replacement surgery.. then you know.. parts of them…
All this post has done is make me want to watch “Fifth Element” again. Que up NetFlix!
Yeah, twilight is giving gays a bad name. We hate it just as much as you do, so don’t dump it on us!
Can’t we just make ‘twilight’ or ‘smeyer’ an adjective?
Soooo…..if straight people don’t like it……and gay people don’t like it……who keeps making those freaking Twilight movies?!?
People that rob money from preteen girls who know nothing.
In italy we call them “bimbeminkia”, from “bimbe” (girls) and “minkia” (c0*k), like “d**khead girlz”,
or “Stupid Girls At Young age”
we should abbreviate it in something like “S.G.A.Y.”…
Uh, wAit a minute…
you’re right… it’s-sgay.
Who keeps making them? People who like money. Who pays for it? Brainwashed teenage girls.
The same people that keep Justin Bieber famous. That would be my guess since I can’t seem to find a single person who actually likes him either. Yet neither will go away.
I happen to know a girl who likes Justin Bieber. And she’s around 24. It kinda blew my mind when I found out about that.
I know it might be difficult to fathom, but there *are* “people” in existence who are not in possession of their very own penis.
Twilight was not a movie made for straight or gay men. It just wasn’t. The books weren’t written for that audience and the movies weren’t made for it. Get over it, guys. The world does not have to revolve around you and what you think is cool.
I’m more creeped out by the non-penis-havers that read the books and watch the movies. 43 year old women shouldn’t be on team jacob. That’s skeevy enough to make a man desire sexual congress with other men.
Yeah, Twilight is a terrible, terrible series. It’s poorly written and a bad example to its target audience to boot. But these “Still not as gay as Twilight” posts get stale and annoying when they pop up in your RSS feed for the 6th time in one day.
I think that the person who added this caption didn’t realize somthing very important about anyone who posts memes. No one is politically correct, but to help the gay people out, how about we find a word for people who arn’t gay, straight, or Bi. OH I KNOW, HOW ABOUT TWILIGHT AND FANS!
*CHRIS CROCKER VOICE INITIATE*
LEAVE TWILIGHT ALONE, LEAVE IT ALONE! (WAH) IT’S NOT IT’S FAULT THAT NO ONE WANTS IT, AND GAY PEOPLE DON’T WANT IT TITLED AFTER THEM! WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH
I’m pretty sure that Twilight is the axiomatic state of being just terrible. So, you can’t really describe Twilight without referring to Twilight in some way.
“This Rebecca Black video is still not as Twilight as Twilight.”
OH OH! I know it!
‘Not as mormon as Twilight?’ hun? hun?
Hmmm, needs more magnets.
That would actually make sense.
Mormons are quite nice people actually (even if they have issues regarding magnets). Comparing them with the crap that is Twilight would be highly offensive.
Dude, you know Twilight was written by a Mormon, right?
A Moron* Oh wait…
being a regular homosexual is not even nearly as gay as Twilight
Twilight is a good thing for development of sexual tolerance.
Hatemongers start to realize that it’s not the homosexuality, they hate so much about gays.
What they really hate is that SOME gays are also uhm… twilight…
Twilight is not gay, it’s mormon abstinence propaganda and prolly doesn’t even recognize GLBT people.
You know I don’t follow the Latter Day Saints very closely but last I heard they were very agaisnt abstaining. In fact earlier this decade one of their elders was quoted as saying that Teen pregnancy wasn’t a problem when there’s a tight-knit family to support the children.
This is purely a curiosity question…but do you know if that was Mainstream LDS or was it the extremists who have like 45 wives? There is a huge difference between the two and I would be really suprised if it was the mainstream church that said that…every mormon I know was all about the abstinence…and then they stopped talking to me when I came out…haha.
epic win….but what else should we say…
Gay stopped meaning homosexual years ago.
And, gay stopped meaning happy and lighthearted even more years ago.
twilight is what made vampires gay
No, Anne Rice did that.
Well, actually, there´s nothing as straight as twilight.
You see, Twilight is made for silly girls that are so so SO straight they can´t see past Taylor Lautner´s abs and Edward Cullen´s supposed gentlemanship and see how awfully bad the story is. Now, lesbian girls can see that the book is a half-assed failed attempt at writing. And gay guys are too furious at how two supposedly gorgeous guys are fighting over an inane blasé girl, so yeah, we the LGBTT people are really not ones to be linked to Twilight.
I blame you, silly straight girls that expect romantism and silly straight boys that think they´re players and make the girls resort to weak romantism for Twilight.
THIS
so much win
This is just so lovely it defies words.
WIN POST IS WIN
Le win!
Still doesn’t solves what should be done with the meme.
Exactly! The movie (and the books) weren’t written for the audience that keeps lampooning them.
It would be like if all the 20-30 year old women started making fun of Clint Eastwood, or Harrison Ford, or Sean Connery or whoever for being “too masculine”, and laughing about it. Except that in our culture, being masculine isn’t an insult. Material that appeals to male sensibilities is considered right and proper. Material that doesn’t, is made fun of.
What? I’m a 20-30 year old woman and I was raised on Indiana Jones and James Bond.
Harrison Ford, Sean Connery and Clint Eastwood rock.
Seeing the point FAIL.
THANK you.
SO MUCH WIN
I’m a straight girl that still thinks Twilight is stupid. So don’t generalise there. Mind you I’m not a SILLY straight girl.
You, good sir or madame, can has all my internetz.
“Justin Bieber’s perfume line is still not as twilight as Twilight.”
You, good sir or madame, can has all my internetz.
“Justin Bieber’s perfume line is still not as twilight as Twilight.”
This comment is a thing of beauty.
You win a free internetz for your awesomeness.
i love you… thank you for this
It’s just sexist garbage.
Holy Fluttershy, THIS.
i know right: not even gay people wear as much glitter as that dead, glittery, stone guy…
I was suggesting “not as wrong as” instead of “not as gay as” but if the meme keeps going with the effeminate/gay style in the meme then it would be even more insulting to the LGBT community.
Maybe “not as tween as”?
It’s just as bad as saying that Bieber is a girl. I mean, saying “Twilight is gay” is not an insult to Twilight, since there is nothing wrong with gayness. But, it is an insult to LGBT people, because *everything* is wrong with Twilight.
Same with the Bieber-is-a-girl thing. Not insulting to Bieber, since there is nothing wrong with being female. Unless you think that men are people and women are women, and that being female debases you as a human. But since this is false, we know that it cannot be an insult to Bieber, but it is an insult to all (sane, non-Bieber fanatic) women to be compared to him, since *everything* is wrong with him.
Geddit?
good point. But it lacks two things… Twilight is gay, Bieber is a girl
Oh, women are not people. I mean, we are, but we´re certainly not recognized as such.
The only thing wrong with him, is he is a supposed man who gives off all signals of being a woman, including long hair, high voice, and lack of any junk.
If there was a woman who had a bass voice, crew cut, and a bulge in her pants, you better bet we’d make fun of her for being a guy.
I’m waiting for the long string of memes making fun of Lady Gaga’s masculinity.
She is smoking hot*.
(*When she dosent dress in meat.)
I’m not going to comment on the voice and the crotchgazing, but … you can’t seriously think long hair is a signal of being a woman.
You do know that for something like 96% of human history — including the present day — men have worn their hair long? And that women have been cutting their hair close to the head if they feel like it for close to a century? I mean you do know that, right?
Your rant against long hair is disrespectfull of the memory of my ancestors who were forced into your English culture and got their hair cut by abusive teachers.
Maybe “Not as Bieber as Twilight” or “Not as Twilight as Bieber”….both are as vomit inducing as each other….
Justin Bieber is called a girl because he looks and sounds like a girl. Simple as that.
I actually used to like the word “Twilight”. Now I can’t hear, say, or use it without an automatic association with a series I’d sooner dissolve in a pool of acid and orphan tears than think about for an instant.
Yeah, this. Lets mourn the loss of a good word together.
I couldn’t agree more! I also loved the word eclipse, its so pretty sounding… Also, I can never look at the moon the same way again -.- especially not a new moon though thats sorta not looking at the moon at all but you know what I mean
I’m one of the few people who notices this is from “The Fifth Element.”
You are one of the few people that would ask that question. Definite troll!
No you’re not. Sad Hipster.
Surely you`re joking!!!
No, you’re just the only one who felt compelled to mention it.
This.
Also, as previously stated, “gay” has become a polysemical word, that doesn’t have anything in common with homosexuals anymore. So, yeah. Twilight is gay.
Deal with it.
The word gay “doesn’t have a thing in common with homosexuals anymore?”
Really?
Use of a word as a pejorative is not really appropriate when that word is also used to describe a group who have historically been, and still are, marginalised and discriminated against.
Polysemical or not, the association is impossible to break. It’s the same string of characters and sounds.
It is possible for a slur to have no connection in the mind of the user with the people being insulted by its use.
This makes the user ignorant, possibly willfully so, rather than malicious. It doesn’t legitimize use of the slur.
You’re one of the few people who thinks they’re special enough to be one of the few Fifth Element fans in a Memebase thread.
I read this in this man’s voice, with that weird little scream he does at the end.
Hehehe, really funny actually! ^_^
How about the word “camp”. Not as camp as twilight. Because Camp is not unanimous with gay people.
Camp is not a term most Americans use.
You mean you’re missing out on the exclamation “So camp it could hide a jamboree of scouts!”?
It’s not? I’m American and I hear it all the time.
Gays are gay and should be burned alive. Along with twilight.
Man, I got some bad new for you. Two words: gas bill.
excuse me. have you ever met one? you are a pitiful excuse for a human being.
Just had this discussion with a friend (neither one of us a Twilight fan) and she put it thusly.
Seriously and for true, is Twilight really that big of a threat to truth, justice, and freedom? Is it really so wrong that 12 to 15 year old girls get to like sparkly pretty boys and big, muscley ones? Were any of us really destroyed for the rest of our lives by having a crush on one of the Hardy Boys? Cause I don’t think it is all that different.
Bottom line is that Twilight is just not that big of a deal. Some people like it. Deal.
How about we go back to queer meaning “weird and strange in a bad way” and then using it instead of gay?
“Still not as queer as twilight” sounds good to me.
I agree, personally I prefer being considered gay than queer…. queer is just a queer word.
I consider myself queer. Oh dear.
It’s a good idea but unfortunately for many in the older generations (and by older I mean grandparents since this is the case for mine) still have extremely negative connotations associated with that word. Granted there might not be a lot of grandparents on memebase but still something to consider. Though, people will be hard pressed to find another word…everyone gets offened by something.
We don’t want it, either.
Not as “fabulous” as twilight!
.
solved..
.
.
.
if you don’tunderstand me then just imagine the campest of the camp(sorry LGBTQ but that part of your community does occaisionally put your movement back 30 years…) or those annoying women you have seen repeatedly referring to pointless things/situations as “fabulous”
and then you will understand why this is the perfect replacment for “Gay”
Sorry straight community but if someone acting camp puts our movement back thirty years you need to grow the hell up.
…can you please (and i mean this in the most respectable way possible) explain the actual connection between camp and homosexuality??? I am a huge supporter of LGBTQ issues and causes yet an overly camp person annoys the hell out of me as it appears fake or forced. is Kurt from Glee really an apt example of how gay men carry on?? because i hate to break it to you but when most people hear someone is gay they usually apply the same stereotype.
Perhaps it is certain members of the LGBTQ community (..and yes a lot of straight people too) that need to “grow up”. The quicker being gay is as trivial as it should be then the sooner we can get on with being people, simply people …how nice would that be???
Hmm. If only people were free to form their own identities and personalities, and not expected to conform to what others want them to be if they want to be considered people.
can’t tell if agreeing or throwing my argument back in my face….lol
Can’t tell if trolling or just illiterate…
..this is fun
It all depends on what you mean by “camp” behavior. For the most part, I see it as a mixture of effeminate behavior and a kind of “outsideness”, an attitude that gay people tend to take up, since they can’t help viewing our (mostly) heteronormative society from somewhat of an outsider’s standpoint.
If your problem is with the outsideness, good news: as Western societies grow more and more acceptive and inclusive of homosexuality, this aspect of “camp” behavior should fade.
As for the effeminate part: some males are effeminate. You need to deal with it. I deal with overly “macho” behavior from supposedly heterosexual males all the time, which, believe me, seems just as annoying/fake/forced as overly effeminate behavior may seem to you. However, I don’t judge all straight men by this behavior, nor do I assume it does anything to do with them being straight.
Kurt from Glee is an apt example of how *some* teenage boys are.
Granted, some of them are trying to emulate the behavioral patterns they see in the gay community. But many of them, as far as I can tell, can’t help being that way. Even when they’re in the closet, trying their best not to let others know that they are gay, their environment can *tell*. It was the same way with me. I thought I acted pretty normal, didn’t out myself to anyone but my closest friend in high school, people still talked. It could have to do with the whole fetal hormonal development theory, I dunno exactly (for the record, I’m an oldest male child).
Interestingly, not all effeminate boys are even gay, I actually know a boy like that living in a fairly open-minded community (urban Norway), so I assume he’s not in a closet, he’s just a straight guy who can’t help being effeminate.
Anyway, some people are just naturally like that. Others might be trying to emulate them, just like members of *any* community/sub-culture are emulating prominent members of the group they identify with – this is especially typical of adolescent behavior. And that’s okay too. People won’t ever “just be people, simply people”, they will always have their little quirks. Tolerance is, for the most part, putting up with them.
Your support for LGBTQ issues is commendable, but you should try to dissociate your support for a civil rights/acceptance movement and your disapproval for the behavior of some of the people it is for. You don’t knock black people in general for “gangsta” culture, or women for dumb bimbos, do you? People deserve equal rights, they don’t need to earn it by what you consider “good” behavior.
Now, granted, it would be easier to gain acceptance if all of us looked and acted like everybody else, but let’s face it, pretty much no one is completely “normal”. I accept the LGBTQ community with all of its weirdness, and I encourage you to try and do the same. As I said, acceptance will in itself eliminate some of the reasons for “camp” behavior. Trannies will be trannies though.
srs tl;dr O_O
thank you for a great reply good sir! i’m working no so i cannot give you the reply you deserve.. may I say though that i don’t hate ” camp” as such, i merely see some people effect it (gay and straight) and i find it false and sometimes annoying, may I note that I do have an issue with “gangsta” as I believe it is used as a front to reenforce a stereotype that most people feel uncomfotable with .. once again i apologise for not replying with a longer message but I am in work and I have beady eyes upon me..
regards
Peter
…plus twilight fans won’t get it so they won’t even bother annoying us good folks here in the internet trying to “defend” it!
thank you! i’ve been saying this about both twilight and justin beiber for a very long time
~your neighborhood bi girl
I can imagine you swinging down from a lamp post and retrieving the vibrator someone just dropped down a drain for them, dressed in green and purple spandex.
“Who are you?”
“Your friendly neighbourhood bi girl!”
Wait, why do we even need a word to describe how awful that series is?
Well, we wouldn’t have very much fun not making fun of it!
Poor gay people… they get compared to Twilight so much! I never felt so bad for someone else before.
We’re also compared to Bieber and Stupidity
TL;DR
well gay and hetero people are way more manlier then this…uh…oh crap can’t find a word heavy enough to explain how much this sucks donkey rabbit balls
I saw a Southpark like this we just need to convince Emanuel Lewis to change the meaning of gay in the Websters dictionary to twilight. A word only has the power you give to it. Why does every good idea have to come from Southpark or me.
