We need to encourage this belief that way we can keep those plague rats contained

It turned him gay after one scan! That is why, when his wife called the hotel room, a random guy answered the phone. He explained to her that her husband is now gay because of the airport scanner and he would be turned back once he scanned again. "They work like switches, he said to her, and then added, "and boy was your husband turned on!” He went in to explain it always makes her husband gay when travels.

I think there's a scandal on the horizon for this guy.

lmao

when he confessed that he prefers to be frisked at the airport, instead of undergoing a proper body scanner.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

Maybe that's why, last time he was frisked, he spunked down his leg.

Hey! After I got scanned, I started sucking dick in the airport bathroom too.

After my scan, my stance got really wide all of a sudden

In 1999, Craig became sharply critical of U.S. President Bill Clinton for the Monica Lewinsky scandal. Speaking on NBC's Meet The Press, Craig told Tim Russert: "The American people already know that Bill Clinton is a bad boy – a naughty boy. I'm going to speak out for the citizens of my state, who in the majority think that Bill Clinton is probably even a nasty, bad, naughty boy."

I can’t imagine feeling comfortable saying something like this, especially on fucking tv

I'm unfamiliar with this particular issue... looked it up ahh, more government sanctioned abuse on our most vulnerable minorities in the false banner of protection.

[–] x00z@lemmy.world 29 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He doesn't want to go into the gay machine so he prefers to get patted down by other men.

"Refuse airport bodyscan searches!"

"Because they're a means of privacy invasion and demostrates the TSA's pointless existence yet dangerous power?"

"No, becuase they'll turn you into a sausage-loving twink!"

[–] hardcoreufo@lemmy.world 33 points 2 days ago (6 children)

He's using that as an excuse to have gay sex on when he travels. When you get scanned on the way home it turns you back straight. Or makes you gay^2 more research needs to be done.

I think when you think all sorts of everyday experiences can "turn you gay", you might possibly be gay? And what do the scanners do to gay people? Turn them straight, or somehow more gay?

Like, I've tried all sorts of things in my life, including same-sex sex, and am still straight - like even if I were actively trying to change my sexuality it doesn't. Sometimes to my despair, as I get older, it would be easier to not have such a strong preference.

Yea! Always opt out of the scanner and get groped by a male TSA agent instead. That's definitely the less gay option!

He just couldn't maintain the dissociative barrier that he used to hypnotize himself into pretending he was straight anymore once he saw that cute twink flight attendant. Now all those repressed feelings are drowning him and he's desperate to blame literally anything outside his own biology for the strong feelings of attraction toward men assaulting his senses from every direction.

[–] Doctor_Satan@lemm.ee 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In case anyone is wondering why they say stupid shit like this, it's because they need to be able to convince a whole lot of stupid people that being gay can be "cured", just as it can be caused. And the cure? Religion.

It's all a big scam.

[–] FanciestPants@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I figured it was so that when it's discovered that they've been boning other dudes (or kids unfortunately) they can blame TSA scanners or some other shit. Surely it can't just be that they're monstrous assholes.

[–] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 23 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Wait, since the homophobes are in power, can we use this?

Turns out defunding science turns you gay, guys..

[–] Fedizen@lemmy.world 15 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Low taxes on rich people make them gay.

As stupid as this is, I see mostly positive consequences coming from this: either they'll oppose TSA, or they'll refuse to fly. Both sound like a win to me.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

But TSA is also big into molesting people and touching them inappropriately.

Which makes it a big win for conservatives.

[–] Geetnerd@lemmy.world 82 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (4 children)

Know what else can turn you gay?

Being gay your whole life.

But, because your were brainwashed to believe that is wrong, and that it's a "choice," and because of course everyone is like you, you decide to go on a Jyhad to help other weak "sinners" like you wanting to slob a knob.

But hey, the flesh is weak, and sometimes you end up in a motel room with a twink and some meth, but you keep that shit on the down low low. Because a "demon" got in you.

"I love you, Darla, and the kids. I'm sorry..."

Can confirm. I was super straight until I locked eyes with that tall dark and handsome TSA agent on the other side of the machine. Sounds like this dude has a similar story.

[–] ThomasCrappersGhost@feddit.uk 16 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Mate, you had to go through the scanner first …sorry to tell you, you’re still straight. Thoughts and prayers.

... and adds, "so if anyone catches me sucking dick in the airport bathroom, that would be why."

They do? Great! Let's get rid of them.

So he’s been doing a lot of flying huh?

After glancing at the picture of this person, I can honestly say that even stripped of this damning, projection laden context, I would have guessed the person pictured was gay.

Such a weird cope. "It's not me that's gay, it's the xrays, and the self checkouts, and the drive home from work, and the 5g, and..."

Christianity is the silliest of all the religions.

And that’s saying something.

There are some really silly ones

Yet Christianity is the silliest.

Sexy ass blonde man in a loin cloth showing off his shredded abs… plastering this image everywhere.

Worshiping this sexy man.

And then being like “gay is bad mkay”

Silly.

Hmmm... Every gay person I know has drank water. He should probably stop drinking water just to be safe.

Finally a conspiracy theory that's fun. Unfortunately, I keep going through the airport body scanners, but for some reason I'm not feeling gay

[–] phlegmy@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

They don't put the gayification beam on at all times, otherwise it would be too obvious.

To be fair, every time he goes through one he has gay sex in the airport washroom. I mean, it is EVERY time for him. Quite the correlation for quite a lot of cum in his mouth.

I do feel a little more flamboyant every time I take a flight.

[–] PowerfulTurtle@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Then why was I gay before I ever flew? Seriously when I was young and my peers were getting crushes on girls, I was getting crushes on boys. Seems I always liked boys and was never interested in girls.

[–] futatorius@lemm.ee 1 points 4 hours ago

The scanners even work backward in time.

It’s pretty telling when you make up fantasies about things that become part of your core beliefs because you think about them that much.

Just sayin. It’s pretty obvious.

[–] MapleEngineer@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

Dude, you were gay already and just hadn't admitted it to yourself.

Ok, this is obviously stupid, but if we can turn the power of the nutjobs against airport scanners and biometrics and such, I say bring on the crazy.
