While there is absolutely nothing wrong with being or identifying as masculine, it can be quite problematic to hold everyone to a masculine standard, especially if it isn't right and doesn't work for them. This is an issue many people see within the gay male community, where heternormative masculinity is seemed to be valued above all else — to the point that it is oppressive.
Luckily for us, we have the comedic chops of YouTuber Kory DeSoto to show us all how ridiculous it is to try to be something you're not.
In a recently released video on his YouTube channel entitled "HOW TO BE MASC," Kory (sarcastically) gives his viewers tips on how to nail the masculine aesthetic so many gay men seem to be striving for. Some of his hilarious pointers include wearing boring sports logo t-shirts, not doing your hair, taking up as much room in public spaces as possible, speaking in the lowest voice possible, and always telling/reminding people that you "just got back from the gym."
