It's all in fun!
Jake Jonez and Aaron Goldenberg are the viral sensations known online as The Mean Gays.
Their title is self-explanatory as the duo spoofs c*nty gay men who act a little too big for their britches in everyday life.
After The Mean Gays started posting videos together in 2023, the two quickly amassed a huge following online and have gone on to secure brand partnerships, sell out shows on a worldwide comedy tour, and earn millions of views across social media.
"I've just been really gagged for months now, if I can be completely honest. I think the learning lesson was like, take confidence in your craft. You have built an audience for real value," Jonez tells PRIDE.
The bootylicious boys have created content that has entertained audiences all over the world. Besides the giggles, the duo has also received a lot of love for their gorgeous bodies and assets.
"I'm obviously in an industry where I do things because I love performing and I love attention. I'm proud of my fitness journey and what I've done. I think the journey of people objectifying my body will always be there, and I'm very comfortable and used to it. If their d*ck gets erect from it, that's on them," Jonez says.
"There is nothing better than hooking up with a guy and him just being in disbelief [and saying], 'That's not real. You've had to have had a BBL.' No girl, this is me! That's the best feeling ever," Goldenberg adds.
Although these sexy boys get a lot of praise online, they sadly receive a lot of negative attention as well. The pair has even read nasty comments that attack their physical appearance.
"I get a lot of weird comments [that say], 'I understand he's hot and he's got this body, but goddamn, I do not find him funny at all.' It's so wild how that was trying to be a compliment, and yet, the only thing I actually care about is trying to make media that's entertaining. I try to disconnect and not give any of it too much value," Jonez says.
"I fluctuate in weight and shape a lot and I had several people be like, 'Damn, you're getting fat.' Like, f*ck you. It's a trigger of a sensitivity. As gay men, we feel the societal pressure to look a certain way. If I've got a little extra in the tummy, that also means I've got a little extra in the ass and you guys aren't complaining about that," Goldenberg adds.
