Man the way I see it is this: 20 30 years ago, youre a dude and you have a male best friend, maybe your homie for 15 years. You say "I love that dude, that my man". You might give that homie a hug after not seeing him 2 months...nothing gay about that. Now this gay shit is so prevalent it got everybody on the lookout. Nobody was thinking you these dudes are ****ing each other, cause that shit wasn't prevalent. You could say "hey toddler is cute", and didnt have to have a disclaimer that you're not a pedophile, but just a regular human. Now all you hear is about old men ****ing kids and shit, so people think automatically you're a pedophile if you say hey that's a cute kid or some shit that really normal to say.
Just the times we live in. I agree though, if you gotta throw a disclaimer in....i donno about you.
