High School Hottie, featured in the 2012 MTV Winter Comedy Showcase (via chescaleigh)

This is a parody of the wildly popular “Top Girl” iPhone game. If you’ve never heard of it, brace yourself, cause it’s pretty bad. “Top Girl” (and it’s sister game “Social Girl”) is one of the top free iPhone games, luring girls in with this wonderful game description:

Do gigs, shop, dress, go clubbing and flirt with HOT guys! Create FABULOUS outfits and have fun with your new boyfriend. Get a fantastic job as a fashion model and make tons of money. Flirt with boys and snag a boyfriend that gives you presents when you give him kisses!

No Mo’ “No Homo” (via chescaleigh)

seriously though, can we make “no necro” a thing?

I am partial to “no klepto”, but ok.

Wow… the “no pedo” one.

I’d like to see some examples which aren’t considered a bad thing. Comparing ‘homo’ to ‘pedo’ and ‘klepto’ is still letting it be seen as a negative thing, meaning that people are justified in avoiding the connotations. These versions almost seem reasonable. A more obvious comparison would be me, when complimenting a female friend, saying ‘no hetero’ to assure her that I only meant the affection as a platonic thing. That’s the way ‘no homo’ is used, and can be used, without homophobia.

You’re not getting it. The rhetorical essence of this video is presenting how ridiculous it would be to denote that you don’t suffer psychosexual disorders or manias (“bad things”) whenever you do something with which there is nothing wrong such as borrowing a dress or missing a dead person. This is a lot more rhetorically charged than doing it with “OK things” such as “no hetero” because the audience doesn’t want the innocuous things that it does to be seen as deviance. “No hetero” would not only be identifiable with a smaller demographic, homosexuals, but would nullify its subversive value: The video’s underpinning message that you don’t have to say you’re not gay for certain behaviours that should be socially accepted and seen without homosexual connotations. “No hetero” is as conventionally understandable as “no homo.” It isn’t seen as ridiculous for lesbians to denote their lack of heterosexuality. It would have shat on the entire point of the video.

She was criticizing the generalized homophobia that the term carries: It’s silly to have to point out that you’re not a homosexual for doing certain things which should be socially agreeable (i.e. telling someone in the same-sex that they are attractive).

Do I agree with the message of this video? No. I think both “no hetero” and “no homo” have their uses. Mixed signals are a real thing that should be avoided and they can through the help of those terms. That, however, doesn’t make your interpretation of the video less faulty. To criticize that it only mentioned bad things is to miss what she’s trying to say.
