Boys good! Girls yucky!

 

 

Seriously, what are you? 12?

While taking memes seriously is clearly a sign of maturity

[–] sagrotan@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Burrrrn. Lol

Yeah, okay. At least I'm not the one making unfunny jokes that a 12-year-old would make.

Why do you think girls are yucky?

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I don't. I was making fun of this post.

It is using the age-old "girls vs boys" trope, and therefore juvenile.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

But I don't think girls are yucky either, on the contrary I'm actually a huge fan. I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at.

The point that the meme template you're using is sexist, as it implies that women are shallow and care about "dumb" things, like romantic movies, while men are cool and care about "smart" topics like history and politics.

[–] Mubelotix@jlai.lu 2 points 10 months ago

I disagree. I think the point of this format is showing how we are emotional about different stuff. Most women and men are touched by different things, and this meme has been a way of saying "do you all guys also get emotional when thinking about this" often depicting absurd stuff but it's fun when we guys find out we are the same. And the less sense it makes the funnier. If we are talking about being men it's because it's the most common trait between individuals in this community

Completely disagree, you're thinking of the one that's about girls VS boys with a time machine

Thats quite CIS-gendered of you. Im not sure if Lemmy is the apropriate place for your heteronormative microaggression

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Yeah, that's not what cisgender or any variant thereof means.

Also, we're describing a stereotype, not saying it's true. Don't shift blame or topic.

[–] Agent641@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Which stereotypes are you describing?

[–] EveryMuffinIsNowEncrypted@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

Now you're just playing stupid, obviously to troll, a game I am not willing to play.

Goodbye.
