This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

It is a traditional slang on 4chan (and somme parts of r*ddit).
Years ago there where a few sincere jokes with it now it is just straight up homophobia and culture war shit.

I don't know how you got to "culture war and homophobia"? It's literally a meme phrase that's used (often sarcastically) in response to stories on the internet. Saying something is "fake and gay" is literally shitposting, I think interpreting any deeper meaning into it is a bit of a stretch.
Edit: I just realised that this is a greentext community... half the comments here are either fake or gay, and OPs post is most definitely both.
I see now, I don't know how I went through the 2000's without realizing this phrase was a meme until now.
