Lots of homophobes are closeted, self-loathing gays.

Yes, yes they are. Through a friend I know a few trans and gay sex workers, and they make a killing every year at the RNC.

No, a lot of them really are, it isn't complicated.

Repress sexuality, sexual expression, codify a rigid set of norms around it?

It thus becomes fetishized, and this must also be a secret, because you essentially lose all your face, your social status, respectability, as s conservative, if you are outed.

We think it is ridiculous they are hypocrites.

They all know they are in the company of hypocrites, what they do not like is the tearing of the veil, the decomposition of the masquerade.

If it needs to be stated: I grew up in this culture and had to actively flee from it.

EDIT:

Also, this is why conservatives associate trans people and homosexuals with pedophilia.

To them, it all falls into one bucket of forbidden faux pas. It is all heresy, it is all sin, all perversion, differentiation is largely unimportant, in fact even attempting to make the differentiation explicit is often viewed as a sin.

Of course, again, this makes all of this into secret fetishes, which the power hierarchy of their culture will nearly always orient itself in such a manner to protect the power structure itself, very often by supressing reporting or punishment for say, being an active pedophile or rapist, be this in the context of a family, or a wholr chuch body, whatever.

Its all there when you look under the curtains, but their whole thing is worshipping the curtains, the conformity.

Psychosexuality is the root of almost all politics, prove me wrong lol.

I'm sorry to be the one ruining the fun. The graph is from down detector. A website where people "report" than a site or service is down.

I'm pretty sure at this point people just report grindr being down in any republican reunion just for giggles. During Eurovision and other promient gay friendly events that grindr is put under great stress haven't go down in my experience. I doubt a dude funerals is going to make it.

That doesn't take from a lot of republicans being closeted gay. But I'm almost certain on the troll factor being big here.

Any large gathering of people will have an effect. It's less than conservative events are unique but that they aren't

It's literally just a massive event causing infrastructure problems. You'd see the same downtime for other similar services at the same time. I don't know why this meme keeps coming up.

It's like saying I couldn't charge my vibrating anal sex toy because my power went out. The Republicans at the convention must be all charging their own vibrating anal sex toys and taking all the power.

Its also kinda homophobic in the "the gays are self hating" kind of way. Yes. There are closeted gay Republicans. But it's not a meaningful number to matter.

These memes just make liberals look dumb for not understanding how infrastructure works. Fuck Charlie Kirk and the Republicans. But this shit is just dumb.

Servers are not some independent resource. Heavy pressure on internet infrastructure will cause downtime or latency issues on servers even if they aren't the ones being used directly.

Some services will work better than others as they are designed to handle spikes. Grindr likely doesn't invest in that as it doesn't profit them to do so. The opportunity cost aren't worth it. Uber on the other hand would as spike pricing benefits them heavily. So they likely have server allocation to handle high demand (which takes resources from other services even more).

TLDR: Internet infrastructure is complicated and it's not some directly allocated resource. Grindr having outages does not directly mean that Grindr is the application with high demand.
