Dewitt: I had to stop reading midway.
Friend of Dewitt: It’s so fucking basic.
Dewitt: Brian Moylan pisses me off sometimes.
Click through for a continuation of this conversation:
Friend of Dewitt: ME. TOO.
Dewitt: He wrote an article for Next magazine about beards a while back, and it was so fucking ignorant and full of bullshit. I went to a hipster bar and saw some guys with beards! Therefore, this is a trend! I masturbated to Colby Keller and Scotch Inkom! Therefore, this is a trend!
Friend of Dewitt: His article about how gays can’t be fat and need to go to the gym. Also.
Dewitt: Ugh, he just needs to stop trying to be our voice. The sad part is that there are some interesting points here, but…
Friend of Dewitt: Like, yes. But a good representation was when I sent it to a friend of mine… Who said, “Wait, what’s a popper?” Like, he speaks to a very CERTAIN gay crowd. (Even though I was like… What, you don’t know what poppers are??)
Dewitt: Ha, EXACTLY! He doesn’t realize gay men exist outside of New York City.
Friend of Dewitt: EXACTTTLY.
Wait… Gay men exist outside of New York City? Do you mean L.A.? I’ve heard there are gays in L.A.
Uh.. I think that Brian speaks with the same voice as Manhunt Daily. I see little difference. Guys like bottoming. Straight guys are hot. Rugby guys are hot. Public Sex is hot. The Scissor Sisters.
It’s the exact same notes. Come on.
He will be the death of us.
I know Brian from living in DC. He’s a sad old queen, sarcasm is funny and all but not when you live and breathe it every second of your life. He’s probably a solid 6 out of 10 and has to stoop to low levels to get attention from guys. His writing s are always thick with venom, he’s sad and I dont want him speaking on my behalf.
whats a poppers???? just kidding..:P
I enjoyed the article. I only take issue with Poppers, I hate poppers. Everything else seems proper enough though.
Brian Moylan speaks for the bitchy nasty unlikeable nyc yuppie gay in all of us. We don’t like it/him, but he/it’s a part of us. Still, he really should shut up.
post more convos from your office
just saying…!
Who is Brian Moylan?
So how was that article different from Manhunt Daily?????
his article was tragic
I assumed poppers meant Viagra or a similar pill until a hookup asked me if I wanted some. He proceeded to pull out a canister that he sniffed and I was like “what the fuck is that?!?!?!”. Instant boner killer lol. If you need something extra to “stimulate” you, it means I’m not doing my job.
that guy is an idiot, I read his articles just to clarify to myself that am intelligent and i was right there are enormous douche bags in the world
Is he the “new” Perez Hilton?
so he lives in a ‘bubble’, which one of us does not from time to time, think we exist in our own corner of the ‘perfect’ world we create, i think he should be allowed his freedom of expression, and Dewitt should to be blunt “shut his cake hole’ or stop he participation in Manhunt daily. just MY opinion
I really hated his article. His generalizations of gays is only to specific gays. There are a lot of different types of gays and some of them don’t like what the others are into. And yes you can say that ManhuntDaily is biased too. It’s hard to generalize many different types of people in different types of groups. In the end you choose what you read. I read ManhuntDaily because it doesn’t offend me. This guy on the other hand, especially with his poppers BS, does.
I actually appreciated the article. Sure, the style of it could have been a bit tighter (it comes off like a hastily written blogger post by someone who was way too drunk and got an idea stuck in their head), but I appreciated what he was trying to say.
The truth of the matter is there are some very non-PC things about the gay community. The same can be said for any community. Acknowledging these things is part of what makes our community as dynamic and “real” as any other.
Pretending that all gays are just Stepford cutouts that only dream of heteronormative married-life with two kids and dog is disingenuous, and makes us all seem a bit contrived. I don’t use poppers, but damnit a lot of guys do. Good for them.
if you feel so strongly that he “should be allowed his freedom of expression”, then why is Dewitt not entitled to his as well? Seems pretty hypocritical to me.
A good example of a non-stereotyped gay man is although fictional on a tv show called ‘Happy Endings’. His character name is Max. There’s a quote he uses that I agree with. He says he’s “a straight man who sleeps with guys”. Most of my friends didn’t believe me when I told them I was gay cause I do such stereotypical straight male things. It pisses me off when people just think we’re all one shape and size and attitude and all that bullshit.
Gay culture is not any more monolithic than any other culture. I’m sorry that this guy is putting on a minstrel show for the Gawker audience. But he’s gotta sell that adspace and get paid (I guess mustache wax and vintage clothes ain’t cheap). It’s just a pity that he has to be a sad gay clown to do it. Oh wait, nevermind: I’m sure I’m just being bitter since, as a bear, I “gave up” on trying to be “hot”.
