Is it gay for a man to be a big "Disney" fan?


Even if a guy has a girlfriend or is in a disney fan couple... you gotta admit, it's kinda gay to be like "I love Disney! I have visited all the parks! We have an annual pass! We want to do the Disney cruise!"

Would you agree?

I think it's the mickey ears. A guy who would wear that = gay.

WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU BABBLING ABOUT NOW?🤫

I like the films and the Lego sets/minifigures, but I wouldn't say I was obsessed with Disney. I've never been to any of the theme parks, because theme parks aren't really my thing (although I appreciate the pleasure/delight they give many kids). Not that there's anything wrong with being gay, although I don't really see what's so gay about that aspect of Disney.

I would have thought a man child is unlikely to be gay. Dads very often wear their Disney clothes so they're cool for their children to be with.

Is one a 'man child' if one plays with one's children?

I see my nephew, who's an only child, basically neglected by his parents and grandparents, who are all too tired, wary, miserable, and uptight, to play with him, so, I do the DECENT thing, and have fun with him. We play 'It', we build Lego together, we tell jokes etc. Am I more of a grown-up if I tell him to fuck off and play by himself, whilst I do my own thing, or am I in fact the decent one, for being the engaged/invested parent his ACTUAL parents/grandparents refuse to be? 🤷‍♂️

The more I think about it, Robin Williams character in Mrs. Doubtfire was the best parent in movie history. He made his kids' lives fun. He engaged with them. He wasn't an uptight, miserable **** like his asshole wife, who took them away from him. FUCK miserable people. 😠👊🏿

I wouldn't say a man who likes to share his child's playtime a man-child. He is helping his child to develop by taking an interest in them.

A man child is typically someone who can't commit to a relationship as far as I can tell. He just doesn't want to grow up. That's why a man child is said to have Peter Pan Syndrome.

reply

Okay, good answer. But why did you bring up 'men children' to begin with?

reply

I should have separated men children from dads in my answer instead of them being in the same paragraph. And of course i thought of Disney and then Peter Pan.

reply

I'm not a dad. I'm an uncle. But I make the time to play with and entertain my nephew.

reply

Oh, manchildren and other people who refuse to grow up are everywhere! Gay, straight, young-ish, old, male, female, all races and ethnicities, there are humans who refuse to put aside childish things!

Which is fine, to a degree, everyone needs a bit of fun and play in their lives, and if Disney is your thing than I'll wish you a big "Have fun"! I have a co-worker who's into this shit, she's very smart and incredibly hard-working, and likes to wind with a family Disney season pass... which she and her husband can totally afford. If competent adult's work-hard-play-hard lifestyle involves Disney instead of alcohol, I think they're ahead of the game.

reply

No, but I'm not a gay man so I'm not an authority, are you? Disney is a big part of most people's childhoods, so continue to enjoy it and then being able to share it with your partner and kids sounds lovely.

reply

We have an annual pass!

Don't lie, this is supposed to say "anal pass".

reply

No, not at all.

reply

I’ve been 6 different times over the years and have definitely worn Disney T shirts on several of those trips.

reply

Is it sad for a person to spent his time thinking about things like these?

reply

Yep!
I'm not gay or trans...must I check myself again tomorrow because I love the cross-dressing Bugs Bunny?
