Just use the word phobia correctly.
Homohobia should be to homosexuals what arachnophobia is to spiders. And simply disliking or hating something is not a phobia of that something. It has to be an irrational fear of that thing. Again, that what phobia means.
Hahaha what the actual fuck

so what is the definition of a phobia?

i say the word has been misused to call anyone who says anything negative about homosexuals even when no irrational fear is shown.

Someone can dislike spiders without being scared scared of them and not be accused of being an arachnophobe. The same should also be true of the word homophobia. Im not saying I dislike homosexuals, Im saying I dont like something being called a phobia when it clearly isnt.

also moving on from the guy who really wants you to know he isnt afraid of gay people just really really hates us
did you guys know chandler was supposed to be gay?
but they didnt think anyone would buy matthew perry as a homosexual so he became straight

reminds me of will and grace where john barrowman auditioned for will but got turned down for the part because he wasnt convincing as a gay man
but john barrowman was actually a gay man while the actor they did hire for will was straight

How backwards do you have to be to even make this argument in 2020? Do you also believe fat is afraid of water?
Um... what? What does this phrase mean?

What's even funny about that. He said it the first time perfectly.

You're right. I didn't see it at first. But it comes off really racist when the accent is only really noticable when Chandler immitates him. I mostly see this as ignorant and not racist tho. I doubt the person behind this joke was maliciously trying to attack an entire race. Calling stuff like this racist kind of dilutes the term. It's just ignorant.

TC has clearly never watched the show or he'd know Chandler always talks weirdly.
I dont think it's possible for anyone to have not seen friends it's so universal. I think what happened was tc was trying to make fun of the recent trend of online backlash against shows, regardless of justification.
