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!

I used to think poppers were tobacco based but no its far more degenerate than that

I always knew them as some weed, usually roaches, mixed with some tobacco, usually from old butts, smoked out of a nasty tar blackened bong by dumbasses and only recently learned it was also a name for some faggot shit.

 

[stupid frog]

I hope this makes some normies snap and hate gays.

 

[From The Uncanny Valley]

Gross!

I fucking hate musicals!

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).

Should be noted that it's always going to be "caveat emptor" when it comes to that kind of stuff as you might not be getting what you pay for since it's not like the BBB is gonna care. Frankly, between that and my heart murmur, I don't fuck around with any of that shit.

Yeah, that's the main reason I haven't fucked with them since experimenting a couple of times, and that was after doing a fair bit of research beforehand. I remember very well the era of "legal highs" like Spice and K2 labelled "not for human consumption" being sold on the high street, even back then anyone with an IQ above room temperature knew not to touch that shit with a ten foot barge pole and to stick to bud.

In the US it's apparently even crazier. "Gas station heroin" is still a thing that's being sold. "War on drugs" my arse.

Basically this. Though in my experience it was broke douchebags that couldnt afford weed and would just one-hit tobacco in their bongs.

 

[TooManyKittens]

The same culture that has drag for kids and wants to shove porn in every school won't obey cultural norms and not be horrible?

Really?

 

[WhatInTheActualFuck]

...I'm not sure what you expected from the audience of a movie primarily directed at theater kids.

 

[Zbk3VmLfujjzjxBd43tL]

Poppers at a cinema is weird af, but lets be real who hasn't gone to a movie with an alcohol buzz or high?

It was the only way to sit through Star Wars The Last Jedi...I'm so pissed I'd eaten dinner that night and the buzz started wearing off halfway through.

 

[dick brain]

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.

I'm actually grateful that they made it even more pozzed because I had a mild interest in the musical, knowing nothing about it except that the vocal performances are supposedly impressive and demanding. I might have wasted my time on it if it looked like less of a shitshow.

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.

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.

I tried it once when I was a degenerate and didn't dislike it per say, it just isn't worth the trouble -- a nagging headache for a thirty second buzz. Also kills your boner, so it's a pretty shit sex drug if you're not a fag.

Big fan of how they affect women though. They seem to have a real good time, so I can understand the appeal for gays I guess.

Still really fucking weird to do while you're watching a movie.

They get what they deserve for going to see a musical.

Memba the last time a big musical happened, and the jokes were about going to see it with your wife because she would suck you off?
Now in clown world, you go see a musical to listen to fat niggers whale-song and fags getting bummed.

 

[Vect]

Really? Poppers for a musical with a green lady?!

It's just humiliating.

 

[Tasty Tatty]

Getting high or drunk is one thing.

Using something that dilates your ass is a different story.

 

[Grub]

Basically this. Though in my experience it was broke douchebags that couldnt afford weed and would just one-hit tobacco in their bongs.

The weed and tobacco poppers was a thing with a bunch of people I know. I don't know why they started doing it. It always grossed me out though and they always cough awful hacking death coughs and spit up nasty brown shit when they do it. It seems addictive as fuck. Like moreso than just straight tobacco. I know one guy who still does them regularly. He's mostly quit smoking cigarettes, doesn't really smoke weed but just can't quit doing poppers. Gets moody as fuck whenever he tries and just ends up going back to them. He's not constant all day long with them like some people I knew but he does them every day a few times a day.

 

[Spiny Rumples]

First the Gentleminions, and now doing poppers to nod along with Defying Gravity. If society is against this then I guess I'm punk.

Side question: If doing poppers causes the butt to loosen, could people accidentally shit themselves while using it to get high?

 

[Pentex]

Anything involving musical theater is pretty much the Bat-signal of faggotry.

 

[Standardized Profile]

They're supposedly pretty safe but it feels like you're doing something really dangerous when you're using them.

Like all drugs, they're safe until they're not. But the Conservative Party in the UK has argued that the benefits outweigh the harms:

During the debates on the Bill and in a remarkable act of openness, a member of the Conservative party opposed their own government's plan to ban poppers because they themselves used them. They argued that banning poppers would increase harms from transmission of blood born viruses because anal sex would become more traumatic.

Those things are fucking noxious and when spilled on the dance floor it makes the entire fucking building intolerable for hours. Doctors during the early parts of the AIDS crisis were even looking at them to see if they were what was causing all the weird respiratory issues gays were coming in with.

In the US it's apparently even crazier. "Gas station heroin" is still a thing that's being sold. "War on drugs" my arse.

Yeah, that's Tianeptine. Check out the subreddits about quitting tianeptine. Apparently the withdrawal is hell on earth and worse than alcohol and opiates combined.

 

[Positron]

Imagine the smell of a hundred anal sphincters simultaneously relaxing. This is the smell of this Wicked crap.

I hate that I know what poppers are and I blame KF for it

Has to be the Zinnia Jones thread right?

 

[WonderWino]

So, how long before we start seeing PSA videos to gays about not doing poppers like the aussie abbos with the gas huffing I wonder
