Every once in a while, I remember that society just invented the term "metrosexual" so that men who cared about how they looked could dress nice and get their hair styled, and not have to be called gay about it.
Like. Homophobia was such an oppressive thing, that when a large number of men started wanting to tuck their shirts in and clean under their nails and wear clothes that fit them, they had to make up a trendy fashion word for it so they wouldn't get bullied or hate crimed.
Because dressing nice and caring about your appearance and using nice smelling soaps was "for the queers". So they needed to differentiate themselves as something else.
Every once in a while, I remember this, and I scream.
Here is the best ship in South Park, Craig and Tweek, in their very stylish outfits that they wore when they innocently thought they were metrosexual when really...they were gay the whole time.
It's been forever since I've drawn these two. Happy Pride!
