I get major closeted/repressed gay vibes from Luke Smith. Like I'm aware of the meme that he's gay and has a fat dumpy, but I mean like my actual gaydar is going off. Maybe my gaydar isn't that precise, I was only questioning my sexuality at best but I think I've spent enough time around gay and lesbian people to be able to pick up on it at least somewhat accurately. He just has that sort of phenotype and mannerisms. The fact that he was a university professor and used a Mac at one point doesn't help his case. Him being staunchly orthodox is probably just another part of his repression. He also used to use Void Linux , which is a tranny distro. I bet him moving to the countryside was just him unconsciously seeking out masculine hunks to be around. The reason he shills credit cards and doesn't accept crypto for his online book store is because he loves being fucked in the ass by big finance. He keeps everything encrypted and is obsessed with technological privacy because he doesn't want people to find his massive stash of gay porn. Him traveling the world to Mexico and Eastern Europe was just a grand trip of sex tourism.
It's sad that a man as intelligent as him feels like he needs to hide in sexuality in this current day and age. Maybe he'll come out one day.
