Pointlessly gendered?

Everyone loves candles. Some guys are just pointlessly insecure about candles being a "girl thing". I've also known girls that love the smell of gasoline. People be what they are regardless of their lower bits.

jfc its just a meme, calm down

[–] oscar_falke@sopuli.xyz 36 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A meme, like any piece of text, is not above or below criticism. This one unnecessarily perpetuates old fashioned and ridiculous stereotypes of gender roles. Hence the critcism.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Yes, I definitely care about all the autistic screeching about genders on a fucking meme channel

[–] oscar_falke@sopuli.xyz 22 points 1 year ago

Apparently you do, because you can't stop making childish, derisive comments in lame 4chan lingo against any kind of criticism.

[–] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

Oh no, people here aren't forced to like you even though you're acting like a childish asshole. Playing the world's smallest violin right now. Free speech goes both ways you ham freebaser.

🚨 🚨 🚨

Ah sorry that’s just my “bad take” alert going off

It's just valid criticism, calm down.

[–] Mothra@mander.xyz 5 points 1 year ago

Yes,, from personal experience I have known a gendered reversed version of this, only.

[–] adj16@lemmy.world 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really bringing that r/BoysAreQuirky energy over here to Lemmy, huh?

[–] TheAndrewBrown@lemmy.world 16 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also, can we not support people putting no effort into the title? It’s really not hard to write a halfway decent title.

Facetious observation.

[–] jaamesbaxterr@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You haven't lived until you've sniffed a hot Steam Deck vent. Mmmm

[–] AnAnxiousCorgi@lemmy.reddeth.com 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I dunno what the fuck Valve put in that thing but a hot Steam Deck has a scent I could pick out of a landfill it's incredible lol

[–] Drewelite@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 year ago

This is hilarious, I thought it was just me 😂

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

For all the people in the comments bitching about gender: What's it like to be ruled by woke outrage? It's just a fucking meme. You don't have to twist everything to be against you.

[–] oscar_falke@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

The only one here who seems to be outraged is you, unable to take a bit of constructive criticism for a bad and unfunny meme with a shitty title, and instead buying into that "wokeness" scapegoating propaganda bullshit.

Who knew it was so easy to get hurt on the internet

[–] oscar_falke@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You want me to call you an ambulance?

Too bad I live in the US because those three emojis cost me $5k each

[–] oscar_falke@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah I could tell. That's rough buddy.

Luckily for you I called the Austrian Red Cross, they won't charge you.

[–] Herbstzeitlose@feddit.de 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Only one “outraged” and “bitching” is you.

[–] thorbot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah yes, the classic "No U" response

[–] 0x4E4F@lemmy.fmhy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

Too bad the tanks and the pump's trunks make a tight seal nowadays, so gas stations don't smell like they used to 😞.

[–] theyoyomaster@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

If only I could get that sweet, sweet 93 where I live…

[–] LeylaaLovee@lemmy.fmhy.ml 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't know anybody still huffing gas, we all moved into alcohol and coke

I poop in a bag and huff until I pass out (I am not an airline pilot)
