Yes so that “Take a gay for a cuppa” thing is going really well for Harry.

One, he’s so dim or sloppy or both that he can’t see even the most glaring typos, but more to the point, two, he’s surprised by the homophobic comments. Dude, what do you think Islam is? Just a few friendly suggestions? A close cousin to Quakerism?

Glaring typo again, followed by idiocy. Go speek with the communnnniny, i.e. have a cup of tea with one Muslim man. Not a woman of course, Harry knows women are too stupid to talk to, plus her male relatives would throw him off a roof.

Adam Sellers is right. Muslim bros get the cuddly treatment; uppity women are called names and banished to outer darkness.

He’s quite the fool, this Harry.

    Why are gay people the passive ones here? Are we all just sitting around waiting for someone to interact with us? Idle until someone walks up to us to “take” us for coffee? In video games, those are called NPCs — Non-Player Characters. They are the computer-generated and computer-controlled AI characters that populate the game world, which don’t have real-live human players behind them.

    An NPC is nothing more than a prop in the game’s world, whose only function is to fulfill the human players’ needs.

    Well, this is the real world, and I’m not a fucking NPC. My time is not free for the taking; I’m not just sitting around, waiting for a Muslim to approach and interrogate me about my gayness over a cuppa tea.

    In fact, I can’t stand when strangers treat me like the token gay.

    Muslims have plenty of resources to learn about homophobia and gay rights. The same as the rest of us. I’m not here to guide them through it. It’s almost as if they are the NPCs, completely lacking personal agency. Well, they can go right the fuck ahead and Here-Let-Me-Google-That-For-You their own way through it.
