Do you look down on straight guys who "go gay" for more views and followers?


https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/24/style/tiktok-gay-homiesexuals.html

Connor Robinson, a 17-year-old British TikTok star with rosy cheeks and a budding six-pack, has built a large following by keeping his fans thirsty. Between the daily drip of shirtless dance routines and skits about his floppy hair, Mr. Robinson posts sexually suggestive curve balls that, he said, break some barriers.

In an eight-second video set to a lewd hip-hop track by the Weeknd, he and a fellow teenage boy, Elijah Finney, who calls himself Elijah Elliot, filmed themselves in a London hotel room, grinding against each other as if theyre about to engage in a passionate make-out session. The video ends with Mr. Robinson pushed against the tiled wall.

Mr. Robinson and Mr. Finney identify as heterosexual, but as some TikTok influencers have discovered, man-on-man action is a surefire way to generate traffic. Uploaded in February, the video has gotten more than 2.2 million views and 31,000 comments (lots of fire and heart emojis).

Normally, I do jokey dance videos and stuff like that, but it seems like things have kind of changed now, Mr. Robinson said from his bedroom in Cumbria, England, which is painted forest green to stand out on TikTok. He estimates that 90 percent of his nearly one million followers are female. Girls are attracted to two attractive guy TikTokers with massive followings showing a sexual side with each other, he said.

Gay and bi-curious male followers are welcome, too. If watching my videos makes you happy and stuff, thats cool, he added.

The youth-oriented social media platform is rife with videos showing ostensibly heterosexual young men spooning in cuddle-puddle formation, cruising each other on the street while walking with their girlfriends, sharing a bed, going in for a kiss, admiring each others chiseled physiques and engaging in countless other homoerotic situations served up for humor and, ultimately, views.

Feigning gay as a form of clickbait is not limited to small-fry TikTok creators trying to grow their audience. Just look at the hard-partying Sway Boys, who made national headlines this summer for throwing raucous get-togethers at their 7,800-square-foot Bel Air estate in violation of Los Angeless coronavirus guidelines.

Who cares? If someone is using/viewing TikTok they're automatically not worthy of being taken seriously.

How is this surprising? Lol

Life, liberty, and the pursuit of clout is always going to lend itself to exploitation of absolutely everything and anything

this is at least better than straight guys being insecure and cringe about their sexuality
the latter always leads to homophobia

Stupid question
Reminds me of gay people who complain when straight actors play gay characters. I don't see the issue, sorry.

Well, that's a different subject. Same thing happens with straight teen girls too.
