Daily Mail Claims Two Male Olympians Hugging Is Unmanly and the Internet Reacts
“Steady on chaps! Britain’s victorious synchronized divers hug for joy after winning gold – while China’s bronze medalists settle for a manly pat on the back.”
So reads a recent caption in the UK’s Daily Mail, clearly inferring that the hug shared between synchronized divers Jack Laugher and Chris Mears — who scored gold for Team GB with a 3-meter synchronized dive — was effete, wimpy; not the stuff that makes a man.
Needless to say, this was more than enough to (rightly) send social media over the edge:

August 12, 10:12Nna eh, they should simply stop saying ‘Be a man’, instead they should say ‘Be an inanimate object’. We’d understand that better. Mstchew.
By the way I saw ‘casual homophobia’ from @WayneDavid… Is that a thing? Do we now have stages?

August 12, 10:40Lol. My brother, I’m currently having it out with someone who’s trying to educate me on how not all homophobia is bad. Apparently, when all you’re doing is hate the sin and not the sinner, you’re good to go.
