ok don& #39;t be mistaken, i give no fucks about whatever& #39;s going on in anon gay twitter and can& #39;t care any less about people whose kinks are having sex while wearing their military outfits and uploading it on twitter, presumably because the act of uploading is in itself a kink 1/6
but for gays to be getting off on reporting each other to state institutions like the police or the defence ministry& #39;s twitter handle? wild. 2/6
it would be too simplistic to think that the thought process is "oh i see wrong doing -> it is a citizen& #39;s duty to report all wrongdoing to sg secure -> therefore i report; not considered snitching anyway since it& #39;s there on a public platform for people to see" 3/6
instead, and this is completely inspired by @ContraPoints & #39;s latest video about Cringe, a more pertinent question is: what is being performed when queer individuals perform the role of obedient citizen vigilante against other queer individuals they deem too perverse? 4/6
is this a way to distance themselves, respectable gay people, not-like-those-pervert gay people, away from these perverts who we can& #39;t possibly have running around the twittersphere posting obscene images that the straights might run into and think all gays are like this? 5/6
but there exist so much more gay porn on twitter that people don& #39;t go around reporting what... so that begs the question, why this one? is it as simple as the oft-mentioned sentiment, that sgeans are snitches? or does there lie something more insidious? 6/6
well losers following this thread the answer is i don& #39;t know but i& #39;m happy to announce that i& #39;ll be going off to do my MA in comms and new media to build on my senior thesis titled "daddy issues: the politics of family, futurity and the state in singapore queer world-making" 7/6
