Current Events > Black Mirror season 5, episode 1 - Is it gay? *spoilers*

(+) Yeah! (+)

Is it gay to fuck your best friend with your virtual dick and/or be fucked by your best friend with their virtual dick?
---

idk, I think it's something else.

like, they weren't into each other irl.
---

True, but they could feel all physical sensations in the game.
---

I would if my best friend turned into Pom Klementieff
---

What if you turned into Pom Klementieff? Would you let your best friend fuck you?
---

I'm gay and if my bf turned into a virtual girl I would not be remotely into it. Idk how a virtual guy banging a virtual girl would be gay.

They feel all physical sensations in the game. Youd feel your best friends throbbing penis enter your vagina repeatedly.

I'd fuck myself

Charlie Brooker must be running out of ideas. This episode was basically San Junipero all over again. Two friends experimenting with their sexuality in a virtual world which ultimately they decide is preferable to real life.

That is literally the only episode of this show I even like. I seldom even watch this show because it's so unpleasant most of the time.

Only it wasn't a happy ending this time.

Yeah, San Junipero was bittersweet and this one was pretty depressing.

I see the parallels, but I didnt make that connection. I thought it was unique in the way it challenged sexuality.

Wut the ending was pretty happy. They came to an agreement.

I didn't really see it that way. Remember the wife was talking about how she turned down dudes at the bar because she was in a committed relationship. Now they went their separate ways doing whatever the hell each of them wants to do because they basically stopped trying. Funny thing is how the way they put on appearances makes their marriage the simulation and the video game his life.

It was something they planned only once a month. They still were happy together.

Not on Falcon's end, but idk about the other friend.

Falcon was fucking a girl. The other guy was getting fucked by a dude.

I'm on the fence, but as was stated it is like porn.

I want to say it isn't gay since your avatar is receiving from the opposite sex and the voices are different. The major difference is YOU KNOW who is on the other end of the character. It is a very gray area. If there is no real world emotional connection to the same sex, I can see it not being gay.

I want to compare it to a glory hole. If you use one and don't know what is on the other side but later find out it was someone of the same sex. Is that gay?

This. Like I said, compromise.

It's only gay if it's on your left.

Was it once a month? I figured it was once a year on his birthday since she said happy birthday.

idk I figured it would be once a month since they marked it on a calendar. Do married people forget when their birthdays are to need to mark it down?

They make it seem like it's a yearly thing, but the other guy did bring up the monthly thing before and I think that's what they settled on.

You mark the day because sometimes you want to mark important dates on calendars to know what day the event actually falls on.

It's also something people do when it is something they really look forward too.

I think Danny was more OK with doing it as a yearly thing tbh. He was adamant about saying no to a monthly fling. I also wouldn't think having his wife get porked monthly by strange is something they genuinely wanted.

I also like the call back to the beginning when they foreplayed a stranger at the bar and that's what she winds up doing, with legit strangers.

I understood that reference.

I want the knives being the wrong way to mean something

TELL ME WHAT IT MEANS!

Huh?

au_gold posted...

Huh?

To me?

Twice in the episode the dishwasher said the knives were facing up and it woudln't run until they put it point down
---

Oh, yeah, I thought someone was going to end up face-first into a knife at some point. Maybe its symbolism for erect penis?

Actually I just watched it yesterday and the second time the dishwasher wouldn't go because one dish wasn't clean. That time I think it was symbolism for him shunning responsibilities because he's overeager with his sexy time with Karl

It was a cringe episode. Like the one guy who said he had done it with someone from Holland and he had trouble getting over the accent. The only reason it's gay is because he wanted to do it with his friend and his friend only. It's an online game weren't there other guys he could have done with it? Or was it people with Dutch accents only? Stupid. These 3 episodes were actually all pretty bad. Definitely in the bottom third for me, quality wise.
