The “questions” feature on Instagram Stories is a laugh, isn’t it? Aside from being an engaging way to pass a train journey, if we look beneath the surface it can be an enlfightening insfight into the mechanics of social interactions, especially between that of gay men. I’m phrasing it too grandly, but I still stand by this claim.
Watching how people interact through Instagram Story Questions fascinates me! Fascinates and exasperates, because there’s nothing as dreary as rubbish online flirting. Let’s be honest, social media is a Petri dish for crap flirting among The Gays.™ I dare say I’m guilty of it to some extent, but if I’ve seen “Y u so cute tho lol” once, I’ve seen it 50 times.
