he spoke out on queer rights in the worst way possible. no queer malaysian feels empowered by what he did and he's giving more ammo to the right to twist this whole event into propaganda.
- so many people are subtlety and indirectly defending the government
- look at how many people are mad at Matt for 'disrespecting malaysian regulations and laws' instead of 'putting queer malaysians in danger' and 'being reckless'
- these people are not hostile against queer malaysians yet because they have a common enemy
- i found that weird at first, but then i remembered the amount of homophobes using 'i have a gay friend' as a shield - bigots don't care about consistency at all
- btw i'm a very young queer person who haven't even came out to their parents yet. so please check out what The Oatmeal Lesbians has to say, since they're older and much more knowledgable in malaysian queer culture (warning: they're a little angry at Matt)
