PSA: Gays please don't do poppers at your 'Wicked' screening

So many amazing things have come out of Wicked hitting theaters. From Jonathan Bailey giving us all spank bank material when he said there is a photo of him wearing nothing but his Fiyero boots to Jeff Goldblum lusting after Bailey’s thighs while doing press for the film to EqualPride’s own Tracy E. Gilchrist going viral for her “holding space”moment with Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande.

But the film adaptation of the Broadway play is capturing our attention for a whole new reason today: gays being horny on main.

We know how much the queer community stans a musical, but we had no clue some men are enhancing their experience of listening to “Defying Gravity” with poppers.

X user @CommeDesHazons posted a story from the Wicked subreddit that has us cackling!

The original Reddit posters wrote that while seeing Wicked in the theater, he noticed a man “movie his head around a LOT” and was confused about what he was doing. I know what you’re thinking, but he wasn’t bobbing his head up and down, instead he was bopping to the music with a little help from a chemical friend.

“At this point I was thinking he may have a tick, which is unavoidable and totally fine. While I’m thinking that I start smelling poppers of all things. This. Man. Was. Doing. Poppers,” the person wrote. But instead of using them to enhance their sexual experience, this man was using poppers to enjoy Wicked even more.

“I finally put it all together and realized he was sniffing poppers at the start of every musical number and then bobbing his head around while he felt the rush.” Troye Sivanwould be proud.

The first response to the Reddit post is equally as hilarious as the story itself, “At the [start] of Defying Gravity that was his butthole actually sining the ‘AHHHAHAHAHAAAAAA’ part of the song.”

One of the commenters on the X post correctly — and hilariously — pointed out that the song should be called “Popper-ular.” We can’t.

We know this movie is a huge part of queer culture right now, but you gotta behave in public!

If you are taking illicit substances to get something to "work right", then it is not natural, nor will it ever be.
You can buy them at sex toy stores and gas stations. Are you imagining some kind of popper black market in your head? I now choose to believe in the popper black market.
 
Wow, they can't take Poppers and have sex wherever they want anymore?! I thought this was America.

I hate that I know what poppers are and I blame KF for it, but wth? It's a musical with fairies and witches, there is nothing there that is sexually appealing no matter your sexual orientation. This would be the equivalent of straight women masturbating while watching ballet.

This is totally convincing me that fags are normal like everybody else, obviously.

if you have to take drugs to enjoy Wicked maybe find something better to watch.
They aren't taking them to enjoy it, but rather to have sexual satisfaction from that enjoyment. They can't associate enjoy something without also adding the sexual component on it.

Nuclear war

The theater people cleaning up after the masses already hate their jobs as is.
I feel obligated to post this.

Trucking industry going down in flames on this one. "Poppers" are basically organic compounds that are part of the alkyl nitrite family. This is stuff that's been formulated since the late 1800's. Of course...
Its amazing how drug use and diseases form the bedrock of gay culture
More like the bedrock of human history tbh.
I should mention that the idea of getting fucked up on gases for fun is nothing new.

As long as humans have existed, they've been finding ways to get themselves fucked up out of their gourd.
Poppers at a cinema is weird af, but lets be real who hasn't gone to a movie with an alcohol buzz or high?
Yeah, the hypocrisy is fucking stunning. A bunch of people who brag about getting drunk and banging some chick is celebrated. Than again, I guess overcoming whiskey dick is a feat in itself.

This is accurate. There is nothing humanity likes more than getting fucked up and having some fun. I'm not gonna judge if that's right or wrong, it's just what humans do.

I guess in fairness to the people moralizing in this thread (and elsewhere), a lot of them probably haven't gone to a movie fucked up, that's something the fun people do lol.

If people are offended by this they haven't been to many late night showings.
I managed to get through most of a bottle of Bacardi 151 before going to see "The A-Team" in theater.

Movie was lit. Don't remember it. Honestly surprised that I didn't get arrested that night.
I am fucking impressed you didn't vomit in the cinema. Hats off to you man.
 
I'm not a fun person, guys, I've never gone to a movie theater and snorted asshole-loosening inhalants. :( There must be something wrong with me.

I'm apparently not fun either. I've also never gone high, baked, wasted, drunk, or any other term for having impaired faculties.

Why the hell would I pay money to see a movie if I have to pay money for drugs to make the movie I'm paying money for fun? There's at least one unnecessary step there.

yeah, that's the bit i don't get. If I'm not an addict, surely I can get plenty of fun enjoying the movie sober? If I can't, why am I watching the movie?

I will concede that there are some movie/show experiences that are better high or drunk or otherwise under some kind of effect, but many of those are either bad but not bad enough to be laugh-out-loud funny unless you're sloshed, or are tripworthy experiences on their own.

 
I can't imagine how hellish a Wicked screening must be to a person who just wants to watch the movie. There's been complaints of people singing along so lout that no one can hear the actors sing the songs. Now there are gays high as fuck.
They actually ran a PSA before my screening this weekend begging people not to sing. Fortunately it was a matinee with kids and families and everyone behaved themselves, no theater fags in attendance.

Poppers as a recreational drug are crap. First time I did it I thought I was about to have a heart attack. I was expecting something like a good nicotine buzz, not... whatever the hell that was. They're supposedly pretty safe but it feels like you're doing something really dangerous when you're using them. Nitrous oxide is way more fun if you're going to bother with inhalants (which you probably shouldn't, to be honest).

The only good thing I'll say about poppers is that they're non-addictive. I also imagine it's pretty good at waking you up because of how it gets your heart racing, probably way better than having a cup of coffee does. But then you would have to explain to people why you're sniffing "VCR cleaner" in lieu of a cup of Joe.

Once upon a time movie tickets were cheap enough we could just go watch any old shitty movie as a fun thing for a group of friends to do. I mean it's not like we had anything better to do and shitty movies after hitting the bar were always really fun.

I am sorry you don't remember the days of cheap drinks and cheap movies.

I remember them. I still ask, why would I pay to see a bad movie that I need to pay for drugs to enjoy?

I could just... Not do that and have more fun. For free.

It wasn't about the movie it was about going out in a small town on a weekend night before we were all online and having some fun with the guys. Look I can accept it might not be everyone's cup of tea, but we had some serious fun doing it.
