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.]

From what I've heard a person can be both. Maybe you're only half gay.

I wouldn't know the first thing about karate, though.

[Ah. Johnny has only been in Trench for a year, but this is still a thing that happens to him, apparently.]

You, uh, doing okay there?

[strikefirster]

[Oh.

Oh no.

It only takes a second for Johnny to realize what's happened. It's happened enough that he knows he's made a terrible mistake.

Will he own up to it?

No.

He's just going to ignore it.]

Hey Robby.

How's it going?

Sorry, J Law.
It's illegal to not be gay nowadays.

Oh?

You finally figured it out?

[strikefirster]

Fuck that shit.
I didn't vote for this.

[Johnny doesn't vote but that's beside the point.]

Didn't you know?

Everyone's gay. You're just late to the party.

CW: It's okay. Johnny being pulled out of the 80's kicking and screaming

[strikefirster]

Listen punk, I don't do anything half way.

And when I was kid, karate was the most manly thing you could do. Even LaRusso who was a total fucking twerp managed to get three chicks during his karate career.

I just don't want people getting the wrong idea about karate.

[Or him.]

Video.

[strikefirster]

[At least Johnny has learned to switch to video when the situation comes up. Either way he is doing his best not to angry or embarrassed. He's... Certainly not doing the best on the flustered point.]

Yeah. I'm fine.

What makes you think I wouldn't be?

I'm just trying to figure out where people got the wrong idea about karate.

[strikefirster]

I didn't figure out shit.
I'm trying to figure shit out.
You all have the wrong fucking idea about karate and I'm going to prove it.

[strikefirster]

No fucking way.
Not everyone is.
Rocky is as straight as they fucking come.

[frogfear]

[Willow gives a small, knowing nod. She's pretty sure it's not karate he's worried about people having the wrong impression about.]

Well... what makes you think people might have the, uh, wrong idea about karate?

[ Jesus Christ.

Did he seriously spend an entire month thinking about this? Because Daniel knows what spurred this on, and that was basically an entire month ago, and here Johnny is - probably - attempting to google it. A month later. Sure, Daniel could be helpful here, but.. you know what?

Daniel deserves this one. He's been so good so far? It's his turn to be an unhelpful little bitch. This is decades of karma working out in his favour. ]

It's okay, Johnny. You can just admit you're insanely attracted to me.

[slightlytaller]

[Just.... Give him a minute while he chokes in his coffee with laughter ]

Johnny.

Getting physically close with a bunch of sweaty, half naked men for intense physical activity is the gayest thing ever.

[hauntedsavior]

Oh yeah, Trump gave a shit about what people voted for.
Sorry, the Don't Say Straight bill of 2019 passed with bipartisan support.

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the fact that you karate masters are very easy on the eyes is idiot.

[strikefirster]

[Okay.

Johnny sees this and his blood starts to boil, steam starts to shoot out from his ears, and he sees red.

Here they go.

Except. He does have to show restraint.]

Ha. Ha.

Why don't you come say that to my face? We'll see how many teeth you leave with.

[There's a pause before he adds in.]

I mean I just want to talk.

[You know. Break thinks this man is a big stupid moron and kind of wants to challenge him to a duel, but after this recent drought, he has to admit he kind of missed reading his idiotic network posts over tea in the morning.]

Oh dear, is "doing karate" a euphemism for fucking now?

[slightlytaller]

counter point: there's probably a ton of lesbians in karate that we haven't met yet.

[hauntedsavior]

Well, chop chop, bitches.

See, like a karate chop.
It's a funny joke.
It means two things.

they are both just out here trying to live

[terribibble]

If it's not too bold to say so, I don't think anyone would if you weren't protesting quite this hard about it.

Karate is for everyone whether they're gay, straight, bi or whatever.

[Carefully addressing the other content of this post in language Johnny might be able to process..]

People don't always fit into one of those three categories, though. Sometimes a person can mainly be straight and find out they're attracted to another dude or another chick. Like that person is the exception to their usual preferences. It can be confusing, but it happens.

[ ....wait. This isn't a drunk accident? ]

this is for real?
