I don’t engage in mocking it, but it’s entirely the tone of deserts posts. I have many buddies. I don’t openly ponder what they think on every subject. I don’t constantly shower them with weird language.
Desert is just weird for lack of a better term. I’m sure it’s perfectly normal in real life, but if Druff was 12 instead of 52, he’d sound like he’s grooming him. That’s what it reads like, except Druffs too old and straight to groom.
That’s what people are making fun of. Not the friendship, but deserts strange language when he talks about Druff
Look at the title of the thread. Would you make a title like that for your buddy simply dropping by your job? For real! Feels like a text from a teenage girl excited about a visit from a boy. We’ve seen Druff/Ken. Druff/Micon. Druff/Dustin. It never felt like any of those dudes were in love with him. Desert always sounds overly affectionate for a guy. I’m not being a dick, Druff has described him as a good friend and I’m glad.
The mockery comes from the language of the posts though.
