So, I visit quite a few forums online and I've been looking at what people are saying about the whole Jussie Smollett situation. One thing I've noticed is that I don't really hear people speaking about how he solely invented the attack because of his obsession with attention. There's an old thread here (Jussie Smollett (From Empire) Nudes) with his nudes, which he likely leaked himself again for attention. Someone in that thread also mention that Jussie asked his driver to pick him up and drive him about 100 ft to a drop off location, which sounds ridiculous but given this recent situation, it sounds exactly like something Jussie would do.
Now, I've met a number of gay men just like Jussie. Completely obsessed with attention from men, and frankly any gender that will give them the attention they desperately feed off of. They are the ones who are usually over the top and loud at brunch, or quiet with obscenely tight and or skimpy clothes on in public. They are the one with public instagram pages with nothing but selfies and lots of semi-nude photos. They are the ones constantly on Grindr with heavily filtered pictures that don't reflect how they truly look in reality. They are the ones that make up lies about who they hooked up with when in actuality they've never had sex with that person.
The list goes on but one thing I've noticed that all these men have in common is their narcissism. They are nothing but stunt queens, who are so obsessed with attention and their make believe "spot light" to the point that it clouds their reality and in Jussie's case, their efforts can backfire. I wanted to know if I'm the only one who sees it like this because I don't really see other gay guys noticing this. However, sometimes I feel like certain damaging behaviors have become such a normalcy among gay men that nowadays a lot of gay men either don't notice these behaviors as being wrong or notice it but don't call it out.
