These ‘workplace relationship’ jokes prove Gay Twitter™ can’t take anything seriously – Queerty
It’s been a wild little week for a certain internet wife-guy, and like Marie Kondo, Gay Twitter was ready to dive right into the mess.
The announcement of Ned Fulmer’s departure from online internet group The Try Guys hit social media Tuesday amid allegations of inappropriate workplace behavior and infidelity.
The drop was short and not-so-sweet:

Fulmer’s subsequent personal post addressed the rumors, confirming his extramarital affair with a co-worker.
One line in his post struck a chord with many readers, as he says he “lost focus” and pointedly describes his affair as a “consensual workplace relationship.” This was likely in response to rumblings online that the boss/employee relation came with an inherent, problematic power imbalance.

Unable to take anything seriously, folks on social media immediately began to relate this message to their favorite “consensual workplace relationships”.
