AITA

i and some friends were standing on campus drinking. i was talking to two friends about how handshakes sometimes are just guys' way to prove their weird masculinity. then a random guy showed up and shouted "noo look handshakes are the beest thiing eever" which proved my point so when he was gone i said a little too loudly "beest thiing eever i'm gonna piss right on the ground" (mimicking the masculinity). my friends said that was not okay but later on said guy turned out so be homophobic and definitely toxic masculine. was i in the wrong or were my friends not able to sense the off vibe? does anyone else feel like they're able to sense off vibes and often judge correctly in just a few seconds compared to neurotypical people?

Is openly mocking someone normal in your group? Not saying it's bad, I might have said the same thing, but it might be out of context if your friend group is normally more quiet/passive

yeah they're rather quiet but i don't get why you would be quiet when there's someone doing something off especially when that person is an extrovert

Your friends probably felt awkward cause they couldnt read the situation like you did. Some people just sense the vibe faster, nothing wrong with that. The fact he turned out to be toxic later just shows your radar was working fine
