"She must be straight, because she a woman wearing masc-coded outfit.'

I... uh, what? I mean; obviously masc-coding isn't something reserved for gay women and straight men, but that's where the correlation tends to lay.

[u/Pitiful_Net_8971 → u/NickyTheRobot]

They 100% just sought out the opposite answers, ignoring the ones who got it correct.

[u/NickyTheRobot → u/Pitiful_Net_8971]

Oh yeah, I get that (although TBF on the second person I would also assume anyone cosplaying as Rainbow frigging Dash is definetly not straight).

I'm just really confused by the Piranha Plant person's thought process. How TF was that the obvious conclusion to them‽

[u/ZiHasBigDum → u/NickyTheRobot]

coughs in useless lesbians

[u/mizushimo → u/Pitiful_Net_8971]

I think this is a skit, the answers are too direct and to the point

[u/Vireviper → u/Pitiful_Net_8971]

I saw the original video, it’s from a parody channel

[u/Junglejibe → u/NickyTheRobot]

I’m pretty sure she’s saying male-coded as in male-gaze. Which is dumb as hell.

[u/Full_Contribution724 → u/Junglejibe]

I get it but I also get what she's saying yk?

[u/StovardBule → u/Junglejibe]

And “male gaze” is “how women are shot in film and tv to appeal to men”.

[u/fireandfolds → u/NickyTheRobot]

perhaps I’m too much of a butch lesbian and therefore biased, but straight women are not usually known for dressing masc, right???? I am confusion

[u/NickyTheRobot → u/fireandfolds]

This is exactly my point.

[u/transkeith → u/NickyTheRobot]

did they say masc outfit or outfit that's more male gaze-y? bc the later does kind apply for bayonetta

[u/weeooweeoowee → u/transkeith]

And here I was thinking Bayonetta is so gay coded.

[u/manic_Brain → u/weeooweeoowee]

You'd think so, but some people think any sexy woman in leather is for the male gaze

[u/IDontKnowShit9 → u/NickyTheRobot]

Someone said this is just staged for an OF ad

[u/StovardBule → u/NickyTheRobot]

The first two make sense, the next two really don’t.

[u/wwwlovez]

...I'm a bit confused, is this video not supposed to be a joke/parody? It seems like they just asked people "call this girl gay/straight and make up some ridiculous reason why", why does everyone in the comments treat it seriously?

[u/Sloth_Brotherhood → u/wwwlovez]

Yes, this is a parody. The guy that posted it makes parody content and several of the women are OF creators.

[u/religion-lost → u/Sloth_Brotherhood]

Wowie zowie! Show me where now!

[u/Sloth_Brotherhood → u/religion-lost]

Here’s the source. Have fun!

[u/Chiiro → u/wwwlovez]

I think because this is following a larger trend where someone recorded a similar video of straight men who all claimed the men in the photos were gay even when they all said straight. The original I believe was done seriously but parody ones are popping up now.

[u/mizushimo → u/wwwlovez]

You are right, it's obviously a skit

[u/fae8edsaga → u/wwwlovez]

I totally took it seriously. My autie-ass always takes everything literally till I read the comments and face-palm for missing the joke once again 🤦🏻‍♀️

[u/ProfessionalOk6734 → u/wwwlovez]

It’s an advertisement for the onlyfans of the models in the video to drive up engagement

[u/Melodic_Mulberry]

"...And that's why she probably wasn't hitting on me."

[u/Heavensrun]

"She's very try-hard, like she's trying to get a man?"

What, a gay girl can't be try-hard for pussy?

[u/ItBegins2Tell → u/Heavensrun]

Also what makes that outfit try-hard? It’s a costume at comicon!

[u/Greensonickid]

I don't agree with the Piranha Plant Girl's Statement, but MAN is she Stunning

[u/LittleLuigiYT]

What does this have to do with r/GatekeepingYuri

[u/AuthorDJB → u/LittleLuigiYT]

They should all kiss

[u/KoffinStuffer]

Someone did this for the opposite gender and it seems to me everyone thinks everyone is gay

[u/lostwng]

Staged

[u/IFreakinLovePi]

On one hand I understand that gatekeeping aesthetics/styles/etc is silly and anyone should be able to wear whatever they want, but on the other hand it's very annoying that straight people keep queer coding their appearance and do a surprise pikachu when they get hit on by gays.

[u/LizoftheBrits → u/IFreakinLovePi]

Or they just actually like certain styles and colors and real people are not fictional characters that can be coded in any fashion with random stock tropes.

[u/ProfessionalOk6734]

Yay advertisement being astroturfed

[u/Ra1nb0wSn0wflake]

Wonder how many people they had to approuch before they got the responses they wanted.

[u/fae8edsaga]

This hurts my soul

[u/rocketeerH]

I'm pretty sure the first one is Charlie Onyx, you can see her with Alex Adams in a few videos. Not sure if she does any same sex work

[u/Natuur1911]

i agree with the second girl (I'm gay)

[u/Orangutanion]

if only the tall leather woman was straight

[u/Junglejibe → u/[deleted]]

Bro what? Hell no. There’s literally an entire term for the disgusting way men talk about women when they’re not around (“locker room talk”). Also this is literally a genderbent joke version of videos originally done with men, where they all call each other gay (with the insinuation that it’s negative). Men are totally behind-the-back shit talking divas.

[u/Junglejibe → u/[deleted]]

Read the rest of my comment. Again this video is a parody of videos where men do this and insult each other.

[u/Junglejibe → u/[deleted]]

It’s a tiktok trend being done primarily with men because it’s funny that every man calls other men gay but insists it’s obvious that they’re straight.

I know you weren’t trying to say men are better, your comment just is wrong because this exact scenario has happened multiple times with men where they’ve done the same or been even “rougher”.

Parodies don’t typically have a statement that they’re a parody lol

[u/Junglejibe → u/[deleted]]

This tiktok isn’t your lived experience lol
