!are_the_straights_ok@lemmy.blahaj.zone

This was one of my favorite subreddits, and I want to see it survive on lemmy.

Community for posting & making fun of memes/boomer-comics made by cishet people about how it’s awful to be in relationship, or have children, or whatever else, also putting inappropriate clothing on children.

Post your “lol ball & chain” “my home boss” “haha i murdered my partner lol because im so frustrated over dishes lmao” memes here, as well as your garden-variety “toddler wearing a ‘mothers, hide your daughters’ onesie” or “” cishet behavior.

      That’s not what this Sub is about. From the original description

      This subreddit is meant to discuss and laugh at toxic heteronormativity and Boomer memes; it is not a hate sub. Heterosexual people are welcome here and hetero hate is not - we’re here to laugh, not hate.

        making fun of people for their sexuality is a dick move.

        That’s not what this Sub is about.

        and laugh at toxic heteronormativity

        … uhhhhhh. Has my reading comprehension degraded that much or is it the language?

        Also: Overusing the word “toxic” can make it lose its meaning, can scare people from sharing their thoughts, and might be used unfairly to avoid responsibility.

          Heteronormativity is when everyone assumes that everyone else is straight by default. It also normalises behaviors that are considered “straight”.

          Toxic heteronormativity is when someone’s heteronormative views makes them act in a toxic way (ex: “if my son is gay, I’ll kick him out”, or stuff like “A guy must like having sex else he isn’t normal”)

          So no, it’s not mocking straight people for being straight, but mocking the silly behaviours that come from people taking the stereotypical role off husband and wife way too far.

          Hope that explains it better :)

        Blahaj admins defederated from lemmynsfw because of a community on nsfw called “adorableporn” that had a post of what a user believed to be CSEM and reported, and the blahaj admin who saw it also believed it to be CSEM. The lemmynsfw admins say the person is an adult and they aren’t going to remove the post or the community, but blahaj admins don’t want the liability of hosting what looks like CSEM on first glance and defederated.

        I really don’t get why anyone is wound up about it, it’s not like they’re banning people who make alt accounts to access lemmynsfw.

        Edit: assuming that’s what the op is calling then unhinged over, anyway.

          Yeah I read about that. Not only was it their choice, it sounded reasonable.

          Apparently unhinged now means “I don’t understand it and that angers me”.

          I thought this commenter might be better than that /shrug.

            They may be, I just assumed because I recall “unhinged” being thrown around a lot in that announcement thread.

          Their instance is named after an product from a giant corporation. That’s enough for me to avoid it

          Please join my new instance, frostedflakes.zone

    In a weird way I find these kind of jokes nostalgic, because they remind me of when I was a kid reading old comic books, and all the husbands seemed to hate their wives and vice versa.
