Gay Twitter Roundup: Karla Sofía Gascón's Hate Exposed and Dylan O'Brien's Gay Gifs Hit the Timeline
Andrea Marks Joseph READ TIME: 3 MIN.
X (formerly Twitter) is an incredibly important cultural touchstone. It's where drama is revealed, where thirst for celebs is passionately conveyed, where decades-long dreams of seeing Dylan O'Brien having gay sex on screen can be realized, and where a once-respected Oscar nominee's whole life can be derailed because her team did not clean up her digital footprint. Anything and everything is possible on X!
This week, all that happened and more. "Severance," the workplace drama with "proper geriatric yaoi" that has held us in suspense for years finally returned. Dylan O'Brien playing a gay twin in his new film, "Twinless," has been a major win for society as a whole, and for gay sex gif enjoyers all over the world; Karla Sofía Gascón, who was celebrated for being the first openly trans actor nominated for an acting Oscar, is now breaking records for how quickly her star has fallen.
We've been tweeting about the brilliant queer creatives who give us art so unique, so deeply gay and exceptional that the heterosexual mind can not comprehend it, and we've decided that we totally agree with the proposal that the government should mandate a Sunday night prestige TV show because the world is a better place when we all have that one very specific thing going on.
"Severance" is finally back, and gay as ever. "Proper geriatric yaoi" is a phrase we'll not soon forget.
Dylan O'Brien is giving backshots on the TL
Dylan O'Brien plays a gay twin in his upcoming film "Twinless," which has earned him both Sundance recognition and everyone on Twitter's attention, specifically when the gifs of his character having sex with men hit the timeline. Some Dylan O'Brien fans have been waiting decades for this moment, and we rejoice alongside them. (You'll have to click here to see some of his NSFW moments – it's too hot for X.)
HOT and horny
What would a roundup of tweets be without a collection of things Gay Twitter's been horny for? Being horny for celebs and fictional gays is something that can be so important and so personal, especially when every other gay X user agrees with you. We love Luca Guadagnino's "Queer." We love a shirtless Cooper Koch photoshoot. We love that Andy Cohen is dropping his thirst traps from the '90s, and we love to see hot streamer Hasan Piker wearing a little maid's outfit in Japan.
Karla Sofía Gascón left no stone unturned in her offensive Twitter rants
From resenting the success of K-pop group BTS and viciously discriminating against Muslim people, to calling the Oscars an "Afro-Korean Festival" and sharing bitter opinions about her "Emilia Pérez" co-star Selena Gomez's love life, the Oscar-nominated actress (though at the rate of her downfall, there may be a clause she broke that will make her a "formerly Oscar-nominated" actress, only time will tell) has gone from groundbreaking nominee to groundbreakingly racist celebrity, leaving no one out of her rampages that are nowhere near as "old" as her apology would like people to believe. Twitter is where the news broke. It's the scene of her discriminatory crimes, and it's where we've come to laugh about the dramatic twists and turns in her insincere attempts to apologize for being exposed as a racist.
Queer creativity knows no bounds
Being queer means so many things. Queer talent is beautiful, brilliant, unique, and makes the world a more entertaining and welcoming place. We are so thankful for people who come up with drag names like Tess Tosterone, and who have now forever linked classic novel "War and Peace" with the Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion hit "WAP." We are thankful for the Mexican filmmakers who produced a French parody of "Emilia Pérez" in response to how offended they are by the Oscar-nominated film. We'll forever adore the person who designed the "I'm late because I was having gay sex" T-shirt, and we'll always think of "High School Musical" mastermind Kenny Ortega as a king.
We end this roundup with a thought-provoking post, something really important for the government to seriously consider:
