I think our insecurity is showing.Ĭam, the thing is, there was nothing at all “frantic” about his comments. I sense a lot of distaste for him because he – gasp – had the nerve to state that he’s straight! It must be shame, it must be an overt need to prove to people he’s not one of “them.” Hogwash. I found his comments to reflect a totally open, curious, non-judgmental reaction to what for straight guys is an unusual experience. Or, put another way, it’s due to a lifetime of conditioning, which is extraordinarily powerful. And then he basically knew the answer: “it has to do with social norms and all that.” Bingo. He had no problem doing it, but found he didn’t really like it, and it felt “weird.” That seemed to surprise him, and he wondered why it would be weird. He didn’t have to “force himself to to it for the art.”Īnd then he was totally honest, and even rather insightful, about his response. He went into the situation as an inexperienced straight guy should, with curiosity, wondering what it would be like. He didn’t say it disgusted him in any way, or that he regretted it, or that he’d never do it again, etc. He was playing a queer role, and he honestly, with no discomfort, discussed the experience. What he said and how he handled the whole thing is EXACTLY how I think a straight person in that situation SHOULD handle it. disagree with all the negativity, dismissal, and hate being shown here toward Evan Mock. But not something really worth legit criticizing him for. All those things will make a lot of folks uncomfortable. How about you supposedly didn’t have any prior same-sex experience, you’re entirely hetero when it comes to the sexual, affection, romantic, emotional investment, commitment spectrum, and you were being directed to make-out with people while being filmed while doing so. While saying his discomfort was connected to society is kind of a reach. So, these type of cringe-y comments are pretty much inevitable and expected with “straight” guys. That’s pretty much what drove the comment.Ī decent percentage of out homo/overall homo-leaning/in homo relationship guys are obsessed with people not seeing them as “gay” and tend to show discomfort towards exuding same-sex passions, affections, love. He definitely said what he said primarily because he wanted the world to know that he’s not “gay”, not into “gay” shit and doesn’t have any same-sex experience. This is one of those “fake woke” comments, where someone is clearly saying something out of ego, insecurity and to sound “progressive”, but there’s little to no sincerity behind it.
