Looking for an image subreddit with minimal rules? Check out /r/images

A place to share interesting photographs and pictures. Feel free to post your own, but please read the rules first (see below), and note that we are not a catch-all for general images (of screenshots, comics, etc.)

Spoiler code

Please mark spoilers like this:
[text here](/spoiler)

Hover over to read.

Rules

  1. No screenshots, or pictures with added or superimposed text. This includes image macros, comics, info-graphics and most diagrams. Text (e.g. a URL) serving to credit the original author is exempt.

  2. No gore or porn. NSFW content must be tagged.

  3. No personal information. This includes anything hosted on Facebook's servers, as they can be traced to the original account holder. Stalking & harassment will not be tolerated.

  4. No solicitation of votes (including "cake day" posts), posts with their sole purpose being to communicate with another redditor, or [FIXED] posts. DAE posts go in /r/DoesAnybodyElse. "Fixed" posts should be added as a comment to the original image.

  5. Submissions must link directly to a specific image file or to an image hosting website with minimal ads. We do not allow blog hosting of images ("blogspam"), but links to albums on image hosting websites are okay. URL shorteners are prohibited.

  • If your submission appears to be filtered but definitely meets the above rules, please send us a message with a link to the comments section of your post (not a direct link to the image). Don't delete it as that just makes the filter hate you!

  • If you come across any rule violations, please report the submission or message the mods and one of us will remove it!

Please also try to come up with original post titles. Submissions that use certain clichés/memes will be automatically tagged with a warning.

I just want to point out that this picture was taken on MARTA in Atlanta which just had a black gay pride parade. So I can't say for certain, but they probably are gay (not that there's anything wrong with that).

Uh, the last time it was posted someone pointed out that they were going to some event for gay urban people. In Atlanta, IIRC.

''Well,'' he explains, ''thugs don't really kiss. Sometimes they stick their tongues in each other's mouths, but it's not really kissing. Gay people kiss. DL thugs don't kiss.''

they're probably gay. atlanta had a lot of hardcore type undercover gay thugs.

[–]blcknight 11 points12 points ago

Undercover? Apparently you haven't heard of black gay pride that takes over the city for an entire week. They only have to be undercover after they exit the safety of 285, but that applies to all the gays in ATL.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

They're called guys on the dl, not undercover like a detective. Surprisingly I see them quite often showing affection like this and I live beside the projects in Brooklyn. Like the hardcore home of Jay-Z projects. My Grindr blows up with "thugs" when I'm at home.

[–]joshemory 1 point2 points ago

i left my id at a place called cabin room on a saturday night, i went over there on sunday to pick it up. when i walked in i saw a bunch of hardcore type black dudes standing around, you know nothing gay to see here, as im waiting for the gm to bring me my id i notice the bartender is wearing nothing but a pair of suspenders and thong underwear. and it all started making sense. I would not have guessed anyone of those dudes as being a homosexual had i met them on the outside.

I don't think they are necessarily gay. They could be related. They could be really good friends. They could be drunk as fuck.

I have woken up after a particularly harsh night of partying and seen two of my not gay friends spooning on the floor on a pile of blankets. I have hugged dudes in public and been called gay before. Some people just don't give a fuck.

In any case it's a cool picture because whatever the case those dudes are being who they are and not giving a shit.

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me. There’s a truth in your eyes sayin’ you’ll never leave me. The touch of your hand says you’ll catch me if ever I fall. You say it best when you say nothing at all.

Aww, I think it looks sweet.

Also, they are wearing blank t-shirts, jeans and baseball caps. White kids wear that all the time. Not really gangsta, just young males.

I wonder if this is an uncommon expression to the downvoters, or if they're reacting to the word "homo"? I know "thugs" that say this all the time. Just curious.

No, the problem is that it is a common expression. A common, unoriginal expression that serves to reinforce homophobia and misogyny (because those are related), even if the outward intent is joking.

[–]Henron 1 point2 points ago

Care to elaborate on the supposed relation between homophobia and misogyny? Saying it doesn't make it true but I'd like to be educated.

[–]batsignal_to_mars 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

I don't have time to write out the full reasoning, but it's essentially 'being like a woman is bad because women are not men so they're not as good as men, so men who act anything like women are not men and don't deserve to be treated fairly' (and being gay means a man is having sex with you, and men have sex with women so that makes you a woman)

[–]Henron 5 points6 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

It's not like all homosexuals are effeminate though.

I'd argue that men having sex with other men is pretty goddamn manly too.

[–]lysa_m 2 points3 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

More or less what batsignal_to_mars said.

At their heart, heterosexual norms are gender norms, so when you violate them you're acting inappropriately for your gender. You and I might not think those norms are valid, but they're still very much there.

I mention the misogyny I perceive because in this particular case,we're talking about an expression that is used by men to distance themselves from anything they do that might be seen as effeminate. (I mean, that's how the expression is often used, though it's arguable that it wasn't used that way this time.) You don't hear men scoring touchdowns and then declaring "no homo". Similarly, you don't hear women using that phrase pretty much ever. At least, I haven't.

So "no homo" essentially means "I beg your forgiveness for my momentary lapse of adherence to the strictest standards of manliness." And yes, the person being judged here is a man, but that doesn't make it misandry any more than a rich parent informing a child that her friend is "NOKD" amounts to oppression of the upper class.
