Someone called his buddy a fag? Decapitation. Caught a glimpse of FOX News on the gym TV? Fist through a wall. Rage is the salty-sweet nectar that fuels his erupting passion to SET. This guy can’t even pretend to keep his shit together. So You Think You Can Dance still hasn’t called him back, but it’s only a matter of time, right bae? Contrary to his name, Hitmontop is a verse bottom. He’s out to his crew, they’re cool with it, and he’ll crush his battle opponents with a rapid spin. Hip hop will always come first for a Hitmontop, so you’ve got to be able to roll. Men are his pastime but breakdancing is his life. Master of the backhanded compliment and sniping criticisms, he’ll complain that the Greek feast you prepared for him was “too dry.” He stirs up drama between you and your boyfriend because he’s bored, he’s the first to point out the 5 pounds you gained over winter, and he talks shit about children. Sneasel is the shady ice-queen your boyfriend has been friends with since they were Togepis, but you want to cut this bitch with a broken bottle. But you don’t mind-he’s got dazzling teeth and you can’t help but be in a better mood when he gives you a bright “Hello!” and asks how you’re doing.
You’re not sure what his actual eye color is because Sunflora has been grinning since approximately 1925. But he alleges his parents still have “no idea.” He has a lot to learn but he’s excited for the future! He’s 16, he’s just discovered he’s a fairy, and he’s stepping out of the closet! His Instagram selfies now include the hashtags #gayboy or #bottomsup, and he Snapchats with another Togepi in Nebraska.
Let’s take a deeper look past that first generation of 151 ‘mon and explore which gay men are best represented by the Generation 2 lineup! As introduced in the first installment of Gay Men as Pokémon, we have the opportunity to establish identities based on values, behavior, and milestones rather than just body type, age, and race as gays before us have. And fine, sometimes we gays feel the urge to “catch ‘em all,” so to speak.īut gay male culture also has an affinity for labels. But why would gay men have an affinity for these digital, fictional animal companions? The cute factor, sure. They come in all shapes and sizes, have interesting stories, and show devotion to their #1. Pokémon are a blessing to Beyoncé’s good green earth, particularly for the queer community.
