its baffling to me seeing people on tiktok say that straight men and women shouldnt wear carabiners bc its a lesbian thing. babes. people in general have been using carabiners to hold keys like this for ages. yes its historically been a flagging thing! however. its not strictly a flagging thing. people in other spaces use it because its convenient. you dont get to dictate other people's harmless fashion choices. you sound fucking stupid

#i love carabiners as a lesbian flagging thing and i know its been around for a long time #but i literally just saw a commenter on tiktok say 'i had to lecture my straight male friend on why he shouldnt wear one'#i will NEVER be the first person to defend cis straight men for anything. but come on #like ?? bro WHAT #you did not actually have to do that and he is actually allowed to do whatever he wants!#the carabiner is convenient! carabiners are not just for lesbians! you sound insane!!#i understand the pov thats expressing disappointment in the carabiner on belt loops becoming popular #but it really truly does not feel that serious to me. they're acting like its blatant discrimination because its becoming trendy #and like yeah! i see where that can be an issue rooted in homophobia and hypocrisy #but to be so honest i think they're taking it too far #and look. maybe im completely wrong. if i am i would genuinely love someone to explain to me why i should think otherwise #like legitimately maybe im missing something and just truly do not get it #i dont know
