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.

    Bottom: Why do you want me to rim you? You’re not supposed to be rimmed.
    Top: But baby…

    Top: No, baby, I’m top.

      Chai. Dubem you are hilarious . Many tops enjoy being rimmed that doesn’t make them less man enough . rimming is among the fore play. Just as guys who find it awkward that most submissive guys enjoy their dick being sucked .

    Nna 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?

      Lol. 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.
