They're not texting each other, they're texting their girlfriends

I guess we're supposed to look at the guy on the left and instead of thinking "He is in distress," we're supposed to think, "He is unfuckable." And we're supposed to look at the guy on the right and instead of thinking, "He is going to fuck that other guy," we're supposed to think, "He is so fuckable."

I think it's gay either way you look at it.

They're the same person, just different approaches to sending a text.

They're texting the same person, presumably a woman but possibly a man or enby.
