I WISH I ULD NCEL MATT DAMON. IT'S OUTRAGEO TO JOKE ABOUT HATEFUL GAY SLURS 2021.
In our study, we found that off-lor jok promoted discrimatn agast Mlims and gay men – which we measured greater remend budget cuts to a gay stunt anizatn, for stance.
Movi, televisn programs or edy clips that humoroly disparage groups such as gays, Mlims or women n potentially foster discrimatn and social jtice, whereas those that target groups such as racists will have ltle social nsequence. For prejudiced people, the belief that “a disparagg joke is jt a joke” trivializ the mistreatment of historilly opprsed social groups – cludg women, gay people, racial mori and relig mori – which further ntribut to their prejudiced attu. The terview first me to my attentn a seri of tweets that alleged Damon had admted referrg to gay men g a homophobic an age when people manipulate realy by takg ments out of ntext or makg them up out of whole cloth, I was skeptil.
