Maybe you should stop using homophobic insults if you're trying to present yourself as someone who cares about LGBT people.

I truly don’t give a fuck what you suggest, you tankie fuck. Nothing I said is homophobic. It’s not the dick sucking that’s bad, it’s who your mouth Is attached to, moron.

How do you know I'm a tankie? I could be the world's biggest Biden stan for all you know.

Well I’m fine living with my assumption based on this conversation, tankie. It seems to make you mad, so, if the shoe fits. 🤡🤡🤡
