…I was watching a vid of a bonding chat with JoJo and Mickey/discussing their tattoos…and it was all very sweet and it made me think…I do think that Mickey maybe struggles in relating to females other than on a ‘physical attraction/sexual’ type basis…I don’t know if that’s true, that’s just my own pondering but the tattoo chat they has was so endearing because it had such a ‘father/daughter’ type vibe …

I think you have a point.

While the comments were homophobic, I don’t think Mickey is homophobic, I think he’s ignorant and actually I don’t think it was rooted in homophobia but I do think it was probably rooted in some kind of mix of lack of social skills, sexism and arrogance in that he’s probably used his fame throughout life to obtain what he wants and so the idea a woman wouldn’t give him the time of day was unfamiliar to him.

The “tie you up” comment is indicative of a bruised ego.
