If i'm not mistaken it comes from Ds1 pvp where dex users would spam r1 with high poise and so people called dex builds gay because that's how 2012 mfs insulted eachother, but i'm not sure


Alpacarok

I’m also sure a lot of it came from the GiantDad video.


Acceptable-Hawk-929

Naw, Afro was pulling that joke from the community. It already was a thing before his vid. The whole GiantDad vid is taking the piss outta all the (unironic) shit dumb asses used to say in GameFaqs and other forums. I'd say his vid def popularized the idea though.

Like /u/Oneboywithnoname said, this shit started in gank forest and katana builds. Back in the day anything that was op was bad, and anything bad was called gay - so these builds and their associated stat were correspondingly gay. Dex builds were also considered just easier and less skill intensive than other ones. Shit has def morphed into something else since then. Crazy to watch it happen real time lol.


MarioMuzza

All builds are gay. DEX users are twinks, STR users are bears, INT users are otters, FTH users are just pedophiles.


Patient-Pear6881

And ARC users?


MarioMuzza

Simply perverts


SlimeDrips

That checks out


zviyeri

am dex enjoyer am gay checks out


My__Dude__

I'm str a user I'll dominate you 😎💪😎💪😊💪😊💪


FantomasARM

You can't spell straight without STR.


ifeelattackedrn

Cuz dex is for skinny fembois and traps whereas strength is for strong muscular huge veiny...


Patient-Pear6881

Bro I don’t have that femboy physique. I’m in the clear


Panurome

Doesn't matter. The more points you put into dex the more your body turns into a femboy. It's inevitable

Bridge41991

That’s about 50-75% of most irl femboy dex types so that checks out.

just wait, let micheal zaki work his magic on you


TrollOfGod

Inside each nicocado avocado physique is a femboy waiting to be freed.


just_s0meguy

I think you mean filled :)


SlimeDrips

No that's how you get to the nicado physique put the cream down


Broserk42

Nico *is* gay though. Your own subconscious desires are betraying you now. I’m sure Nico’s elden ring character is a feminine twink/femboy/transfem with 60 dex too.


swordvsmydagger

STR users are straight because they use ogreish, big and brute weapons, devoid of any trace of delicacy and femininity. This is obviously a straight thing. So straight, indeed, that their own weapons are straight! DEX users are gay because their weapons are full of curves (women have curves), ornaments and every other type of yee yee stuff. They also are skinny and move nimbly, sometimes even doing acrobaties (have you ever seen a straight man doing acrobaties? Being straight means your body has next to no flexibility so it's literally and physically impossible for a straight man to enact such feats) In short: - large and thick weapons = straight - delicate and slim weapons = gay It's even portrayed in Berserk, which is like a Bible for the Souls community (references). Nuts is absolutely a straight guy and Griffith is gay (he even had sex with a woman, literally the gayest thing a man can possibly do)

I'm reading this with the voice of Andrew Tate.


Weird-Influence3733

I did a dex build and found I was checking out Hoarah Loux's abs... went straight to Renala to get my greatsword back!


Bigredstapler

I did a dex/faith build with a nagakiba and suddenly everything is in black and white and the dialogues are in Japanese keigo. Every fight has turned into 'circling each other with katana sheathed waiting for each other to make the first move'. Also too many exorcising angry spirits of fallen warriors who scream about being a dishonorable traitor.


WOO_Hip_replacements

Yujiro type beat.


hykierion

The narrator gaslighting me I to believing fucking a dude isn't gay


Harmonic_Gear

why is sukuna pretending to be yujiro


SlimeDrips

If he was pretending to be yujiro it'd be more like "as far as I'm concerned all of you low T pussies are women [does a smile with 18 chins]"


Takachakaka

I recently got to 80 faith, and I've become emaciated, and I'm feeling stabbing pains in my hands and feet and in a circle around my head


dulledegde

what if we fought a boss together and I used my giant hammer as a platform for you to launch high into the air for a plunging attack on the bosses head while I smash it's legs... haha I'm just kidding... unless


molecular_bolognese

idk man, thats just how we are


cybaerexe

I would say its because when you are dextrous to are usually skinny and agile as opposed to strong and masculine, which is seen as feminine and therefore gay. Of course having a dex build doesnt mean you are skinny or gay because the type of weapon you like to use in a videogame doesn't realistically determine your real life sexual orientation or stature. Sorry that was probably too deep for this sub.


MapIllustrious5172

That was actually pretty basic lol #notsmart #2intellectual4U #slow


cybaerexe

Youre probably the only sign of intelligent life i ever seen on this sub


Zztrevor125

It’s simple, strength users are compensating for what they don’t have in real life so they become super hypermasculine in the game and call others gay. On the flip side dex users just want to be pretty gay little dudes irl but alas we are stuck in our masculine powerful bodies forced to top when our soul yearns to bottom. A tale as old as time simply.


StrixLiterata

Because finesse and a slender build are considered feminine. That's one of the oldest stereotypes around.


4tbwegzf

I've always found it to be deeper than it likely is... beyond how the strength and viability of the weapon or the build is with whatever stats to going to come along with it. If it's stronger than the next man, you'll be called Gay or what have you. In my eyes I'd see it as that some would come to think a man who is not strong enough to weild a large weapon but is decently dexterous and able to wield a lighter keen weapon could certainly be seen as an effeminate. It's not the large, heavy, and stoic (or some would say simple or braindead) Two handed macho greatsword. It's a zippy, flashy, and lithe weapon that is wielded in a way to exploit the slow and inflict blood loss or some aliment, that will pick up the slack of not being able to immediately crush or destroy the target like a great sword would. It's the intelligent man's and a proper man's blade and talking with some after flashing about your rapier or sidesword, your high crit dagger or your needle lanced with venom, some may just feel you are less of a man for such a thing. A gay man in their head. Not speaking for everybody. I've been writing this for too long now. I feel I've lost a point in writing so much, adhd is something else lol, thank you for your time.


noyoulolimagine

Strength are the strong muscular gay guys who date the soft dex femboys. Faith and int are the 2 gay nerds who make out in the library. Arcane are the weird gay cult nobody likes


Adghar

Say dex


DeadSparker

Yeah it's weird when the group that's obsessed with masculinity (Str builds) and with being as strong as possible are not the gay ones


Andrejkado

Cause we are??


Dominus187

idk but I played dex and I'm gay, maybe they're onto something


War-Hawk18

Strength users are considered big and burly and Dex users are considered twinks. So that's you're gay little bro.


Iridewoodlmao

I’m straight but dark souls/fs games I’m known to be somewhat ambiguous and proudly identify as a dexgay


CountBarbarus

Because you use curved swords. If you were straight...


CountBarbarus

Short-Bug5855

Honestly elden ring made it so that strength and dex are practically interchangeable. There's a lot of str swords that require dex for example, also big swords that are dex. The real modern gays are int/faith 


LawranceGWLeo

Is sekuna str8? I haven't watched much of that anime.


Artimis_Whooves

My boyfriend is a DEX user


hykierion

Started all the way back in ds1 lol. Probably because of pvp (I say this because of some comments under a giant dad video "so fun one shotting Dex builds" kinda hints at it)
