This is a purely selfish post since Sam & Max is one of, if not my absolute favorite, series in any media so it might only be me who cares about this but I figured some here would get a kick out of this bizarre saga.
For a tiny bit of backstory, it seems the queer community has fully embraced Sam & Max after fan videos started popping up with the release of Save the World Remastered (the first Telltale season, fyi) like this compilation showing all the times they've acted like an old married couple, despite the fact that they are not explicitly confirmed as being gay (besides the creator Steve Purcell replying to a fan asking for confirmation of their relationship on Twitter with "[they are in love] like Butch & Sundance". This has led to something of a renaissance for the series that has been really wonderful to see play out, with fanart of the two cropping up more and more.
Anyhow, cut to now and the head mod of r/SamandMax has clearly had enough of queer people showing their adoration for this series and its two leads and spoke out in defiance (Trigger warning ahead for homophobia):
To be clear, as far as I'm aware, there have been zero posts of a sexual nature in the history of the subreddit, so this guy is just going off about something that's not happening.
Anyhow, that's now led to an ongoing flood of gay fanart and posts calling out this dickhead moderator and it's been great to watch the community come together against this clown:
