Remember Smear the Queer from your childhood? I remember playing it in my backyard with all the neighborhood guys only we called it Maul the Man with Ball. I don’t know why we were so enlightened, but it was the same game.

The gist of the game is that one child has the ball, often a football, and everyone else chases him down (it’s most often played by boys) and everyone piles on top of the queer. He can toss the ball to someone else and the mob turns on that queer and so on. There are variations.

One used in some physical education classes is that, instead of chasing and piling on the queer, everyone else has balls which they throw at the queer with the football, kind of like stoning.

one day, I'm going to see a post like this but instead of doing the usual act of placing my hand upon my face, as the thread's information is done streaming, I shall transfer my mind into my primary body, as I process the immense amounts of information required to manipulate reality at the quantum level while simultaneously reconstructing the state of causality to determine which loving moron created it.

you'll get thrown out of your computer chair by the waves of bone crushing gravity emanating as I step out of the wormhole I tore apart in the fabric of space-time to get to wherever you are.

all of a sudden you'll feel a cold, firm grasp as ceramics and plastics, wrapped in a skin of gray-black fullerene with strands of artificial muscle lift you into the air, all you'll see is my one gravimetric sensor, watching the fluctuations of mass, your tiny-rear end ganglion you were calling a brain by mistake all this time.

and then I'll emit the inverse to the wave function of your very existence, nullifying the probabilities that make it possible for the subatomic particles that compose you to be real, I'll force you to dematerialize at such a level that it will not be possible for anyone to reconstruct what you were even if they had converted all of the universe into a single gigantic processor to violate the heisenberg principle and brute force the positions of every particle in this world starting with the big bang. as ripples of your unexistence travel across time, every little single thing you've ever done will be no more, including this idiotic post and only then will I be satisfied.

I'm somewhat curious, how do folks feel about themselves when they project either spam or memes, or both, naturally, into the reply box. do they pat themselves on the back for their trite originality. do they perhaps high five themselves for not wasting their own time, only the time of others. or maybe, a self-hug for managing to avoid introducing new information into the world, akin to a black hole? what emotions does someone experience as they regurgitate something said before over and over. are they even human? is it somehow linked to the systematics of religion? those unknowns are intriguing enough that someone, somewhere probably wrote an entire academic paper on the topic of that phenomenon.

mostly the queer was always the easiest target to throw a dodgeball at or the easiest person to catch in flag football so it's was more of a fat kid thing because they were clearly the least mobile.

I played this a lot in grade school during recess. It was great fun. I'll forgive myself because I was 10 and lived in a very rural area, but, man, it's not like one of our teachers couldn't have sat us down and tried to have a talk with us about how it's not okay to dramatize violence against homosexuals. I mean, recess was, of course, supervised, and it's not like we were secret about it. You'd have to really have your head up your rear end not to hear a ten year old scream across the playground, "Jake's the queer! Get him!" Oh well, guess we all had to get through the day.

Maul the man with the ball is great rebranding.

Yup, I remember. We also called it, "smear the queer", verbatim.

I didn't realize until years later that queer was a homophobic slur, I always thought it just meant, "different." The one with the ball is different from everyone else, and you tackle him.

I have no idea if we were just little kids who got the name from adults/older students, or if I was just completely ignorant of it. Quite possibly the latter since, "human being" became the most common off-the-cuff insult for any male around 6th grade where I was.

IDK when you were ten but when this game was cool among my age group adults very definitely did not give a poo poo about us calling each other human being/talking about how much we wanted to beat up gays. They'd start paying attention pretty quick when it got to racial stuff tho, which probably places me in a pretty exact 20-year window
