new god tier coping method is imagining you’re nominated for queer eye and the fab 5 visit you and although you’re initially closed off, they gently break down your barriers and by the afternoon of the first day youre having a heart to heart with karamo about the people who damaged u and why u think you’re so focused on those around u rather than your own issues and then antoni gives u a hug bc u say u like his cooking
are openly tr*mp supporters with a MAGA hat that they let the fab 5 find
their idea of a prank is pulling over a gay black man for no reason and scaring him into thinking he’s about to be brutalized by the police or even killed with his friends clearly expressing their concern for him to even get out of the car when the cop asked
when Karamo tries to tell them that it wasn’t funny to try that kind of joke in the current political climate the cop tries to switch it to a “but not all cops are bad cops and we get discriminated against too” conversation
firefighters on Queer Eye:
try to raise money with a community fundraiser to properly train other firefighters
let the fab 5 hose them down in wet t-shirt contest
let Jonathan give them a little spa day with foot soaking and face masks
take dance classes for said fundraiser and even willingly learn a couple Magic Mike dance moves
their idea of a prank is to startle Tan with an exploding pen
the hot white one let’s Karamo crush all over him and call him Superman the whole time without any hesitation
Remember there’s a reason no one ever says “Fuck the firefighters!”
I mean they do it’s just usually prefaced with “Can I please”
Good morning to everyone except the cop that made Karamo stop his car in Queer Eye as a joke and literally terrified him and the other four making them think he was getting racially profiled
Agreed but also fuck the show producer who thought that was clever, because you know he did not just find them traveling down a road. Someone thought that was a good idea in the writers room.
Important things to note:
Jonathan had his phone out to record in case something went wrong and they needed proof of what happened
Tan and Karamo both almost quit on the spot
It was planned for Bobby to be driving, but Karamo insisted on driving
N o t s c r i p t e d they were legitimately scared
Also either way it wasn’t a good idea regardless so don’t make excuses for it??
Also they found a maga hat and found other pro trump signs in his house later + that conversation between Karamo and cory in the car was super forced and uncomfortable
Tldr fuck that episode 🙃
Honestly you explained this better than I ever could, I don’t want this dismissed as “oh but it was a joke” because a black man in the south terrified to be pulled over by a cop and then having to be friendly with a pro trump cop is not funny at all to me.
