Gay creeps

It's ok, thinking about what straight men execute sexually gives me the creeps too. /s

Joking aside, I'm not really surprised. I think a lot of people see being male lover as something "abnormal", and their reaction, even if not necessarily meant to be rude or otherwise, reflects that.

I also gain the sense that a lot of (especially traditionally masculine) guys are uncomfortable with or notice gay guys as an affront to traditional masculinity, and I know from experience that no matter how decent or masculine of a person you try to be, if certain types of people detect out you're queer, you're going to get seen as an effeminate fag or some sort of creepy sexual deviant. I believe men are seen as more sexual in general, which probably plays into the negative views.

I feel like lesbians are perceived as less threatening, probably because women manage to be viewed as less threatening and/or sexual in general in society(and a lot of straight men look to get off to lesbians in terms of sexual media content, as well, so that probably plays into it).

The Big, Horrible Wolf: “Creep” and Queer Panic as Horror 

Posted on Updated on

 Josef (Mark Duplass) has a penchant for scaring people. With love. It’s kind of an eye roll worthy thing, actually. On the behest of his invitation, Aaron (director Patrick Brice) brings him camera, under the assumption he’ll be filming Josef’s time capsule video for his as yet unborn son Buddy. And, as always when following up with a Craigslist ad, there’s something off. Josef is weird. Josef is odd. With his overbearing saccharine character that often manifests in inappropriate hugs, lack of awareness of others’ personal space, and explicit outpourings of affection, Josef is kind of a creep. Maybe more implicitly, a straight guy’s nightmare.

Brice’s motion picture, Creep, places Aaron and Joe in situations where their dynamic must evolve, the film’s narrative trajectory contingent on the hour that the two use together in the latter’s cabin in the woods and to what degree power is allowed to shift between the two. For the most part, it’s in the hands of Josef, who’s illustrated by Duplass as too off kilter to be ineffectual enough to not be jarred by.
