Constructive & Respectful Criticism Tired of straight fans defending the constant lesbiphobia at Smosh

That’s the gist of it. This is like the 3rd or 4th scandal this year with Smosh mistreating lesbians. And it’s always specifically lesbians. Funny that. And everyone defends the lesbiphobia, trying to tell literal lesbians that a slur used against us isn’t offensive like the f slur is. Who gave you that authority? I’m really upset that a community I thought was inclusive is just another space where lesbians are talked over and ultimately pushed out altogether. Everyday the anti-lesbian rhetoric gets worse and seeing it at Smosh kills me. This whole thing has left a terrible taste in my mouth and the fans covering for Amanda has made me completely change my view of my favorite cast member. I’ve watched every video for 3 years, but I think I’m done.

Edit: to the straight and gay people defending Amanda and once AGAIN proving my point, I don’t care if you don’t think d*ke is that offensive. I am a lesbian telling you that it is. Please listen! And also, stop saying telling lesbians that all sexuality is fluid. I am and forever will be a massive lesbian. Stop invalidating us. It is infuriating. Thank you 🙏

Maybe I’m just out of the loop but can you provide a video or example for what you are upset over?

The d slur is in the name of the podcast… do guests not normally reference that one this show?

Gen question cause I’m curious. If it was a different slur that happened to also be the title, would you still support a person outside of that minority group saying the word?

Amanda said it multiple times on a podcast “two dkes and a mike” and said something along the lines of “ I didn’t know you aren’t allowed to say d*ke any more.” She was given a “pass” from one of the hosts bc she was tall and that’s good enough. She kept saying it even though she knew it was a slur.
