How to keep things 5% toxic
Current roster of substitutes for "You're being gay":
"Okay Theodore Twombly" (Protagonist of Her (2013). When they ask "who?" Just say "You, Theodore Twombly.")
"Can you stop inhabiting bodies in spaces for a second"
"It's giving Q." (Subverts expectations with ally phrasing. Riskiest, but also most powerful of these substitutes.)
Lol
And a shoutout to reader Andrew Deal for inspiring this post by asking questions about future social values.
