Ngl I thought this was going to be a really fucked up greentext as soon as I read the word "cancer".

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 9 minutes ago (1 children)

He got utterly cuckolded, what is not fucked up about this?

Sometimes relationships just don't work out?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 45 points 20 hours ago

I gotta admit, I like wholesome greentexts

Fake: anon had a girlfriend

Gay: anon had dated someone who had sex with a man

I seriously don't get what's fun about this nihilism and gay-shaming.

[–] damnedfurry@lemmy.world 27 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

It's just a running joke for greentexts to call them "fake and gay", which became having to come up with some justification to attach both labels to the story instead of just saying it is. This is completely regardless of what the greentext actually consists of.

The more you have to stretch to make the labels fit, the funnier it is.

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 14 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah, and I find it funny precisely because of the stretching to make the labels — it makes it feel like it's making fun of people who would unironically call things fake and gay in a manner that was nihilistic and homophobic.

It's similar to how I hate the "git gud" gatekeeping that can be quite prominent amongst fans of games like Dark Souls. However, I take great joy in saying "git gud" in a context where it's patently absurd, like when my housemate arrives home completely drenched from torrential rain. It turns the joke back on the gatekeepy rhetoric

I used to behave this way, but people took me seriously every time. Like saying Veterans should die off, because they are no longer of use (as criticism to our way of seeing humans as expendable) and I became very hated for this.

My ex from 16 years ago (16 year olds) wished me happy birthday the other week. Was weird we're both married with kids and never speak at all

Yeah just way outta the blue, now the real question is so I have to remember hers now? Cause I don't think i do haha

[–] obelisk_complex@piefed.ca 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

If you want to, ask her and put it in your calendar! It's always nice to know someone remembers you fondly enough to send well wishes 😊

[–] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 4 points 12 hours ago

Yeah, this is great advice. It's unfortunate when pressure to do social niceties holds you back from enjoying meaningful connection with people. Some people are better at remembering dates than others, and caring enough to ask (and put it in one's calendar) is at least as powerful a gesture as actually remembering it.

OP could take a jokey tone to things, such as by expressing surprise that she was able to remember, and then asking what her birthday is

[–] anonklay@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

why is it weird? I do that too.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 0 points 18 hours ago (1 children)
[–] anonklay@lemmy.world 1 points 15 minutes ago
