the casual bigotry in tip toe is so persistent and so sinister. it's not just anti gay or trans sentiment there's little racist barbs in clive that sometimes stick out and cause him to do things like steal a working man of colour's tools out of spite and jealousy. he even takes a jab at leo being a scot despite the fact that he's been his neighbour for 14 years. leo's closest friend is a cishet woman who seems to support him for being gay but in the same sitting makes incredibly homophobic remarks without batting an eye and is openly transphobic. even the middle aged homosexuals are sympathetic to terfs despite them being as vitriolic as they are. having any real negative response to these things is considered an overreaction. most of them are just micro aggressions, but they're all reflections of a mentality that lead to a gay man being lynched.
