Homophobia, ableism 

I was listening to a podcast that included a clip from "The Maltese Falcon": Peter Lorre just hysterically screaming.

As soon as I heard it, I knew this was the whole of John K's vocal performance as Ren.

Now, John is 1) a huge homophobe and 2) strongly identifies with Ren.

But Peter Lorre's character in the film is explicitly a gay dude. A "gunsel".

And this big gross homophobe decided he was gonna give his self-insert fursona the voice of a gay character...

The etymology of "gunsel" is actually really amusing, due to het and gentile obliviousness.
