      Ok, but… That’s not something that’s funny.

      It would work in a greater narrative, perhaps, where we as readers know the characters. Not this one off thing.

      Being selfish is hetero normative? I’m probably being defensive but this feels like a weird statement to make.

            If your jokes made around stereotypes in queer communities are offending people the jokes are probably just veiled insults. You can do things, you just need to be at least a little versed in the community and understand how to make respectful jokes instead of demeaning ones.
