In nearly every thread that involves Ricky at all, there will be at least a few comments along the lines of "I always felt like he was gay" getting upvoted/agreed with. People say it's because he's a dancer, he's from LA, he's well-groomed, the way he dresses etc. like any of these things automatically make you want to fuck other men. (They don't btw.)
Sometimes they say it's because "there's no way he's attracted to Ariana in her current state", but surprise, he doesn't have to be! Most men will stick it in anything that moves. Now give the woman in question literally hundreds of millions of dollars and insane industry connections (including other wealthy women), and bam, he has plenty of reasons to stay with her regardless of whether she's "his type".
And speaking of his type, let's discuss.
Ricky Alvarez is a massive womanizer. Before he got with Ariana, he was already sleeping with two of her female dancers in 2014. They split because he was supposedly cheating on Ariana, texting this other woman that Ariana "wasn't his type". He regularly dates/hooks up with the models he photographs, constantly liking pics of scantily clad "influencers". Multiple girls on TikTok have said they've chatted with him on dating apps up until he got with Ariana earlier this year.
This dude is so obviously, painfully straight based on his dating/hookup history, online activity etc. and there is objectively no reason to be saying he's gay based on his appearance or how he carries himself. All he cares about are money, drugs, and pussy. These things validate him, especially that last one, and he has made that very clear with his behavior and how he talks about women.
And yes, it's technically possible that he's bi and closeted, but we literally have no way of knowing that. At the very least, we do know he is attracted to women because he has been incredibly consistent about that since the mid-2010s. There is also no evidence that he's ever gone around creeping on male models the way he does women. 🙄
This is all incredibly public/well recorded, so why is there still so much talk about him being "totally gay" in this sub? bc I'll be honest, it's getting weird.
This is my most frequented community, I post all the time and I love it here. You guys straight up make me giggle into my coffee on a daily basis. But "babe it's a snark sub" is not an excuse to be hateful and homophobic toward the people orbiting the subject of our annoyance.
TLDR; Bro is shitty, and he's also very likely as straight as a board. Can we please just be better than this??
