I’m looking forward to this one. Hopefully, it lives up to expectations on release.

You’re absolutely right!

I really like this and will embrace it going forward. I have nothing to gain by engaging with nonsense.

Uh… I’m the user at the top of the thread and I’m not confused at all, lol. I legitimately don’t think that the original Tumblr poster is attracted to women. That’s my opinion based off the post. I could very well be wrong, but that’s how it reads to me.

The person in the Tumblr image. It seems that there’s more going on there than whether or not the woman in the show is attractive.

I didn’t say that. I said they needed to denigrate other women to justify this woman’s attractiveness. I didn’t say there aren’t straight men who aren’t assholes about women.

I’m not responsible for people having such an extreme emotional reaction to an offhand comment on a meme. I truly wasn’t ready for all this, and now I’m laughing at you all. I’m not sure what the hell is wrong with ya’ll, but it isn’t my problem.

I admit I did no ADDITIONAL research for a chat thread where people are irrationally angry over an offhand comment on a meme. I don’t keep research papers on my phone for all information I’ve ever been exposed to ready to go incase assholes on the internet are upset. I don’t expect you to “applaud me” for anything, I give zero fucks about you or your opinions. Any other questions?

Uh uh

I literally just pulled the first link by searching “childhood literacy US,” because I know many would be in denial. It really is hilarious how angry people are about this.

Literacy, in my country, which is specified because it is the origin of the slang in the meme. You really thought you had a gotcha, there, didn’t you?

Their parents give them devices so they don’t have to deal with them. That’s how this slang spreads to them. Do you think 6-10 year olds devoloped “mew?” It was grown ass “influencers” and it spread through media.

There’s a correlation that these kids are spending hours of their time on the internet (that’s how this slang spreads to them) and the fact they can’t read. I don’t see how it’s harsh to point it out, I just think maybe it hit too close to home for some folks.

I didn’t say or imply that. The spread of the slang is over media they consume because parents are using devices as babysitters. Them being illiterate means they’re illiterate, dawg.

Done. I don’t have any children and am not using a device to occupy them.

In all seriousness, this outright angry reaction is really surprising. People should be angry that their children are illiterate, but I suppose if they were, the children wouldn’t be.

Meanwhile, half of them are illiterate. The parents need to get themselves and their children off the internet.

Nobody says all men’s bodies are beautiful, healthy, sexy, desirable, ect. Lol, they would immediately and rightfully be told to stfu.

Lol, I suppose I’ll have to take your impassioned explanation of the finer details at face value as I haven’t seen the show, and I don’t know who any of these people are.

Yes, and? The writer brought up other women unprompted. Frankly, the whole post reflects rather poorly on the writer more than any of these supposed people they are railing against.

Overgeneralizing what? This post is clearly from the perspective of someone not attracted to women. Another dead giveaway is the fact that they have to denigrate other women to justify this woman’s attractiveness. The writing gives it all away quite clearly.
