Tattoos aside, this one is pretty nice. I'll even overlook the danger hair.

To paraphrase Thomas Mann, homoeroticism is aesthetic and heterosexuality is vulgar. And I think that the idea of a man being able to love a woman is a delusion with roots in feudal chivalry and bourgeois romanticism.

That would depend entirely on whether a man sees women as people, wouldn't it? The rare case of romantic love towards non-humans does exist, but is merely a paraphilia. The effect of post-classical antiquity and its more romantic views of humanity, which you call bourgeois romanticism, is likely insignificant compared to one's personal relationship with humans. Greeks loved young boys in every sense and considered women to be brood mares, but was that only surface, a product of their culture, not biology? One sees similar teachings in modern middle-eastern cultures. Orwell's "Nineteen Eighty-Four" portrayed a society where romantic love and all physical expressions of it were banned, as they were considered to be impediments, producing competing loyalties. Even though the book is a product of its time, such a cultural practice is possible - if the value of humanity is lowered to the level of machinery as it would be in communism.

Heterosexuality was/is vulgar, because it's necessary for reproduction. This may have been the reason why homosexual relations were/are valued, not the only reason but the most important regardless. A luxury, free from the additional responsibilities and expectations linked with heterosexual acts.

The first parody is still miles away quality wise because the sound matches the video sequence. Not to mention better memes integration.
