If there is a word that needs to disappear from the face of the internet ASAP, that word is BROMANCE. I hate you, Bromance; remember when you -yes you, Bromance- weren’t cool enough for gossip sites, and were called HO!YAY I think because of that Angel episode in which Cordelia out-badassed everyone (although to be fair this happened in every episode). Well YES, I REMEMBER, and I thought it was awesome because hey HOMO with straight dudes or straight dudes with HOMO OVERTONES but now this Lady-Gaga-couple-mashup BROMANCE is like some sort of NO-HOMO MANLY-LOVE VERSION, like you can just imagine these assholes at a keg party calling everything GAY and FAG and LOVING EACH OTHER and man I know the title says I’m not being judgmental so I’m just gonna skip that and say HEY I know a bunch of gay guys (NSFW) who are into self-hating kinks like skinheads and frat-bros but whatever.
What I’m trying to say is like BROMANCE, it is a boring word, it is overused, let’s just call it “BOYFRIENDS” you know like we call the sex & the city aunts girls “GIRLFRIENDS” but wait that defeats the no-homo purpose… ok, what about, “BUDDIES”. Like that Seinfeld episode that revolved around using the word “pal”.
IDEK you guys, when did gossip sites become fandom, this is my question.
