i would like to inform you that this reference hit close to home for me and made me laugh my ass off because i loved collecting these chuds in city folk
let me tell you how much I miss having to use a debit card because of that bougie-ass giraffe berating me for hauling my life's savings into her boutique to buy a shirt and a flat pack
I distinctively remember one popular image floating around queer spaces, including bi_irl, about a tweet of a woman saying "The bisexual experience is being attracted to women and, unfortunately, men".
It really hurt seeing something like that. It had quite a lot of upvotes, too, but luckily the comments were clowning on the tweet and the mods eventually nuked it, but it's still a reminder that some people genuinely think of me like that.
I really do understand why some women feel like that towards men, and I definitely understand that they have it WAY worse, but still.
People take 'I am not obliged two handle men like baby pidgeons every time I have two deal with them being distressed' and turn it intwo 'hooray I have the opportunity two be as cruel as possible two random people'
This sub has had a lot of issues since it's inception, as does any community.
I've always found this one particularly distasteful.
While I am not fond of the mentality that being a dick to a man is bad only because they might be a minority, I do find it impressive that that is somehow still not enough to stop some trans woman from badmouthing men knowing full well trans men also exist in these spaces.
Idk, feels like we should be catching ourself somewhere between "Let's not be assholes." And "What if we push away other trans people who aren't women?"
It has gotten better in my experience, though recently I've been seeing something of a resurgence of it.
Things like respect and empathy come in tiers tbh and idk why some people treat them like an on and off switch. There’s the basic level for everyone, if someone sucks they get downgraded, if they’re cool they get upgraded
To me it's like bragging about not liking a flavor of ice cream, with some added unnecessary meanness on top. More than ever, I want to enjoy every flavor. They all have something to offer.
There are people in this subreddit, and in similar others, who have an attraction to men. And they like to express it.
Those threads are mostly wholesome, but there will always be a woman who isn't attracted to men and for some ungodly reason (we actually know what it is, given that they're a small group and consistently appear) must let it be known. They don't take the idea that maybe the thread isn't for them very well.
Pretty much yeah. I don't know what you would call this phenomenon. But this attitude on posts like this about men probably speaks to a larger problem that I don't feel equipped to tackle here on a meme sub.
But what do I know? I JUST LIKE HOT BOYS :D they make my brain mush
And to add, the one on the bottom half of the time will be arguing with others (who look a lot calmer, I may add) that the subreddit is being destroyed by psyops or whatever because god forgive having being attracted to something else.
I would praise you so hard. If you're at all interested and just don't know how to start, DM me and I'll give you some tips. It can feel scary for absolute noobs, but it's actually pretty simple.
This sub has just gone so far downhill. Hitting all might not be a good thing for communities that are supposed to be more insulated, I’ll admit, but the people claiming the sub is being taken over confuse me. WTF are they talking about, have we been seeing the same sub?
Idk. TBH it’s the constant negativity and circular firing squad that will send me to other trans spaces.
I can see where you're coming from, but the post is more talking about how folks sometimes try to turn conversations that don't apply to them towards one that does, not giving the original topic its proper space and responding with hostility when they get pushback, y'dig?
