      A tip for (more or less) cleaning up jpeg artifacts:

      Selective Gaussian Blur

      As a connoisseur of technology, the rationale behind this phenomenon resides in the fact that the aforementioned image was captured precisely seven hours subsequent to the creation of the post. Consequently, the temporal emphasis predominantly lies upon the image itself, thereby insinuating that said image has existed in the digital realm for a duration exceeding ten years. This engenders an optical fallacy wherein the image appears to have traversed the vast expanse of time in a mere flicker of moments.

    There is a YouTube series “Odd One Out” by Jubilee with that premise, not necessarily gay but other social groups as well. In one episode, there really were only Odds and no one how was what they pretended all to be

      Started watching it based on your comment. It’s mid, but good enough to watch and can be funny. I am hoping it picks up a bit though.

    So when one of them is voted off, does a screen plate report the exiled contestant is gay? Because if they’re all typical straights and the comedy is based on them being at least a bit homophobic.

    This reminds me of classic USMC gay chicken, which seems to be a conspiracy to turn all our fresh trained marines totally gay questioning.

    If all the men are straight, the game will end after one week no matter who gets voted out (and everybody except the one guy who’s worst at acting gay gets $1M).

    I guess that’s not a problem, as long as the folks making it are okay with it being a one-off special and not a series.

      That’s just the cover story to tell the contestants. The real game is seeing a bunch of straight guys pretending to be gay. Probably poorly.

      No, it ends when you’re down to two people. That’s ten people who have to be voted off, so ten weeks of TV.

      Then you reveal the premise to the last two guys, and tell them that they have to roshambo for the prize money.

        Once a week someone gets outvoted, until 2 are left, or the straight man is out

        (emphasis added)

        If they’re all straight, then the straight man is necessarily voted out the first week.

          I’m only getting into semantics because you are - that statement is singular and definite, therefore it can only be taken to have one of two meanings:

          A) a given straight man is selected at the start, and once he is voted out it ends.

          B) it ends once the final straight man is voted out, as at that point he would be the straight man. This can never occur as he would win by being the only one remaining, so there would be no vote for him to vote himself out.

          If they’re all straight without a single selection at the start, then there is not a definite straight man, and even if there is one selected at the start there’s only a 1/12 chance he gets voted out first.

        Nah, let them play a game of chicken.

        The one doing the most gay thing wins. See how far both of them would go.

    The more time that passes between each repost is more time for the premise to be less “2005 dude-bros can’t fathom being unmasculine for a second” and more “when did Troye Sivan write this?”

    Edit: Oh fuck my dumbass misread this and thought gay people would be voted out

    I feel like it would work better as a show with like 5 gay men. That way you get reaction shots of gay men judging straight men trying to act gay, and things actually progress romantically. I feel like anyone who thinks they are the one straight guy might just act like a sexually conservative gay man, the pressure will be on when people start talking about things getting more sexual.
