12-Year-Old Boy Becomes Instant Legend After Expertly Calling Out Gamer Friend's Homophobia

12-Year-Old Boy Becomes Instant Legend After Expertly Calling Out Gamer Friend's Homophobia

Anybody who has played multiplayer games online with the voice chat function has heard someone say something homophobic, sexist, racist, transphobic or otherwise laden in ignorance and bigotry.

Most often we assume it's some 12-year-old just using their new favorite words. Very rarely is there any pushback in the moment.


Unless you're TikToker @bummblebeeduo__'s younger brother, whom she captured on video openly criticizing a fellow player who used homophobic language during an online session.

@bummblebeeduo__ I'm glad he's starting to learn from my civil rights rants. ##hestryinghisbest #homophobia ##brothers

"So you just blatantly admit to being homophobic?" the kid says, talking to an unheard player on the other side of his headset.

"You know that this means that I automatically don't like you because that's really f**ked up?"

The gamer takes long pauses in between each statement, presumably to give the people on the other side a chance to explain.

Shortly after, the young man goes on to clarify his sister, who is filming the exchange, is a lesbian and he won't stand for homophobia over the voice chat.

In a second video he tears into them further for not supporting LGBTQ+ people. He then finds himself on the defensive about trans people in close to no time.

According to The Daily Dot, unfortunately, the conversation between the young man and his friend did not go constructively and both kids were "pissed off" by the end.

But they still had hope.

"It's not that difficult to explain these things to kids. A lot of younger kids, after you explain these things to them, are way more polite and will follow pronouns more than older adults."

The siblings have created a CashApp account for themselves and are encouraging donations to LGBTQ+ youth organizations such as The Trevor Project and For Fox Sake.

GOP Senator Faces MAGA Backlash Over Plan To Sell Millions Of Acres Of Public Land

Utah Republican Senator Mike Lee is facing harsh criticism—including from Team MAGA—over his proposal to sell off millions of acres of public land in the American West owned by the Bureau of Land Management and the U.S. Forest Service to supposedly create more affordable housing.

Lee claimed in his proposal that there is an "extensive process for interested parties like States and local governments to nominate land for disposal to meet housing and community needs," noting that it specifically exempts national parks, monuments, and federally designated wilderness areas from potential land sales.

Trump Ripped For Complaining That Americans Get 'Too Many' Federal Holidays Off Work

While it was ultimately former President Joe Biden who established Juneteenth as a federal holiday, President Donald Trump—who once campaigned on that promise—took to Truth Social on Juneteenth to whine about the number of "non-working holidays" Americans get, claiming that it costs businesses "billions of dollars."

Juneteenth is derived from June 19, 1865, when Union troops led by General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, and declared that all enslaved African Americans in the state were free.

Woman Shares Why She Refuses To Tell Her Late Dad's Mistress Of 30 Years That He Died

While it doesn't always happen, sometimes we get to see karma at work—and sometimes, the revenge is sweet.

TikToker @cassdamm, who previously went viral for sharing the unhinged, five-page letter her 15-year-old son's principal sent, complaining about him "wandering the halls" and "being truant" for buying a drink on his way back to class, is openly celebrating the death of her father, but it's not for the reason you'd think.

Woman Sparks Debate About What Color Her Furniture Is—Only To Discover She's Colorblind

We've all heard the saying that there's no way of knowing everything that you don't know until you're faced with it directly. For some people, that could even be the color of the world around them.

Kristin Hughes, or @im.krispy on TikTok, reached out to the platform for a second opinion while she was trying to list a chair on Facebook Marketplace. Even though she wasn't charging anything for it, the woman who was interested in it continued to inquire for more photos and to know more about the color of the couch.
