Text UN: 1stStrike CW: Comp Het/Internalized homophobia?

[strikefirster]

[Johnny Lawrence stares at his Omni briefly. Ever since the whole speed dating fiascothe month before there has been something nagging at him. Something that didn't quite feel right to him.

Which is what brings him to his Omni today. And after two or three times where he is accidentally posted on the network one would think he'd learn his lesson, right?]

How not to be gay.

Is doing karate with dudes gay now?

[Wrong.

The network is not google, Johnny.]

[ JOHNNY.

Johnny.

You're so lucky Robby convinced him to be nice to you. The sheer amount of jokes he's passing up on here... Instead he's forced to just sigh to himself and ignore the fact that went ten miles over Johnny's head just now. ]

I don't think anyone here doesn't think you're manly.

[ Even though Daniel truly doesn't understand what it's like to even care about that, but.. he knows Johnny's different. So he'll let him have it. ]

Besides, do you really think liking guys makes someone less manly?

[strikefirster]

Of course I don't think liking guys makes people less manly.
My star pupil around here is the meat in a three dude sandwich and there's no one manlier than him.

I just- I don't know. Maybe not manly but maybe they think I've gone soft or something. Like I'm too busy thinking about this shit to kick some ass or something.

[ Daniel over here furiously praying that Johnny never says that to poor Paul's face. ]

It's alright. This stuff can be complicated. [ Like finding out you're also into guys through being stupidly attracted as a teenager to a way older guy who turned out to just have manipulated you the entire time.

No way Daniel is going to say that though. You couldn't get that information out of him through torture. ]

Even if you are just straight, it still can't hurt to just try to calmly think about it away from the dumb stuff that's sometimes being said here on the network.

[strikefirster]

[The things Paul has to put up with.]

I guess.

There a lot of dumb people who say weird shit on this.

At leas we're better than that, right?

[miyagimagic]

I don't know. Jury might still be out on that one, Lawrence.

[ At least it should be obvious that Daniel is just joking around here, since he otherwise would never bother with the entire 'better say people's last names in case it might be not manly enough just call them by their first name' shtick.

.. i-it should be obvious, anyway. ]

[strikefirster]

Don't be too hard on yourself, LaRusso.

You'll get better for it.
