EDIT: I deleted this, because I noticed that a lot of people don't think it's funny and take it more seriously than I do, so I apologize, because I did not want to spread any negative and fake information about Bramblestar, even if it's a joke.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't super see the humor

It's wild how Bramble gets slapped with the "homophobic cis male" label in this fandom. Like I know these vids are joking about it, but I've seen like...people actually claim this on twitter and tumblr, which makes this less funny for me lol.

I dislike him a lot, but calling him homophobic and sexist whitout joking? Tumblr and Twitter are crazy.

I personally don’t find things like this funny, as some people may come across it and not take it as a joke. I honestly don’t think it’s something that should be joked about. I don’t know but joking around that a character is homophobic just feels wrong.

I don’t know but joking around that a character is homophobic just feels wrong. This. Because then crazy people on twitter or tumblr will look at a Bramblestar fan who’s minding their own business and will think they have the right to point and shout “You like Bramblestar? You must be homophobic and abusive and awful.” Which has happened before, and will keep happening. Hate a character all you like, but jokes like these belittle the actual impact of harmful homophobia to me. Bramblestar would be far from homophobic anyway, tbh.

Being someone who headcanons Bramblestar as bisexual, I do not see any humor in these videos.

Genuinely curious, why would you "joke" about someone you don't like being homophobic? It seems to me as a way to unfairly hate on a character and call other people who like that character "homophobic"- even if those people are LGBTQ+ themselves. There are more fair reasons to dislike Bramblestar other than homophobia- which, by the way, has been entirely made up by angry fans as there is no canonical evidence of Bramblestar ever being homophobic.
0/10, disliked this entirely.

To play Devil's Advocate, there is something funny in "shock" humor sometimes that doesn't necessarily mean you entail taking it seriously. For example, suppose there's a joke about Snowkit actually being prophesized to become Turbo-Tigerstar and the hawk which snatched him was only trying to save the cats from this horrible demon. It's not that funny but it might get a chuckle out of me if there was a video with Snowkit just staring at all the clans with demon eyes before the hawk tackles him off-stage. That being said, given Brambleclaw's status in the fandom, I unfortunately think that the videos are at least half-serious and based off of very recent phenomena and so it feels like it's less absurd.

The Snowkit thing is good because it's so absurd no one would take it seriously, but uh. The anti-Bramblestar people probably do

Deliberately horrible things that are funny because it's so OOC aren't the peak of humor, but I can understand the joke. With Brambleclaw though, the humor seems to derive from the fact that some people actually think that's the case, and so the joke is more akin to jokes you'd hear made about villains. I will say though, that the blowing up Mavis and Rapunzel bit was funny in the random troll logic kind of way, that was the only funny one to me. Mostly because it was so over the top that it hit that "too absurd to take seriously" threshold.

Have you seen the edit at my post? I already explained that I was wrong making this thread. Also, what you just accused me off, is not true and I would never do that. I don't even imagine him as homophobic, but as a bisexual, so it was 100% a joke and I never meant anything with it. Apologies if it came off the wrong way.
