Fake, but even if it was true, the problem would have probably been the age change and not the gender change. Teenage relationships and adult relationships have different rules…
Also, teenagers are poorer, so any gift would carry more weight.
Yeah, I have to assume 18 year old women are on average way, way, way poorer than 40 year old men. That’s true regardless of the gender, 40 tends to be a pretty high spot in personal capital.
My eyes rolled so hard on this one lol. An 18 year old woman has 40 year old losers waiting in line to buy them shit. Free drinks in the bar, free vacation, free meals, free shopping trips. 10k a month for “feet pics” on only fans 🤮.
Are… Are you OK?
Are… Are. You ever not on the internet, and experiencing reality?
Experiencing your “reality” that you or some insecure manosphere shitheel just made up to justify hating women, which you wouldn’t know is false because you’ve never in your miserable life actually talked to a woman who was comfortable sharing those intimate details of her personal life with you? No, no I’m not.
Yawn don’t project some bullshit beliefs on me.
Those are really weird incel beliefs.
But, for levity, please explain what is wrong with this:
10k a month for “feet pics” on only fans
It’s weird that you refuse to actively reject reality. Good npc energy yum. Did you notice that only fans made more than the salary of the combined NBA?
What is wrong with making money on OnlyFans? What is wrong with making money in the NBA? I am now more confused.
They are just mad because nobody wants to give them money to look at their feet.
I didn’t say anything was wrong with it. People just seem to think there isn’t any money in being an 18 year old woman they are all broke lol.
Tell me about those rules. I want to learn!
No. Those rules have to be learnt the hard way.
They don’t really. They are often learned the hard way, because no one attempts to explain them or just acts like they know but doesn’t really.
It depends entirely on the maturity of the parties involved, it’s not really an “older/younger” thing.
But generally, the less mature you are, the more a relationship is selfish, i.e. you want to be in a relationship for your personal advantage, i.e. “i get sex when I have a girlfriend”. The more mature you get, the more relationships go into the direction of “I want to make the other person happy”. You still get your sex or whatever other advantage of course, but it’s much more fulfilling if you can actually give the other person what they need, and temporarily losing your personal benefit of the relationship doesn’t cause immediate breakups.
And also gay.
Lemmy dumping on Reddit via a 4chan greentext
I’m so proud of this community.
AmITheAsshole is 99% rage bait and fan fiction. “Am I the Asshole for letting my wife only sleep with 8 different guys, while cucking myself and paying everything for her? I’m totally unsure if I’m, in this Ludacris Situation in which I’m clearly being abused, being unreasonable… PLS BE NICE, GIVE ME ATTENTION! PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS!!!”
Hot take: AITA (and even moreso those “Reddit Stories” channels on TikTok and YouTube) is just The Jerry Springer Show for Gen Z.
Yes, he’d be an asshole for giving her them as a birthday present, regardless of the fact that he got her other presents as well. Just ask her if she wants them after he gets his new ones.
This is actually what the consensus was in that post, but the 4channer was blinded by his own assumption of “men bAD, gIRls gOoD” rhetoric
I guess it would be nice to have people think equally of men and women, but I don’t think the better way to do it is to create fake stories on 4chan
Reddit, well-known for always siding with the woman in the story (?)
This is actually a real post but I cannot find the genderswapped version. Presumably because the duplicate nature was identified and OOP was banned.
Maybe because it sa fake story? Lol
I does have a certain “and then the whole bus clapped” energy to it.
Good thing they left reddit and went to 4chan where they could get away from ultra thirsty guys acting all kinds of crazy over women.
It may or may not be. I can’t speak to that post, but I’ve seen others pull the same bit with other posts (wait a week or two and repost with a gender swap, then point to the radical difference in response) and usually the gender swapped version gets deleted and the poster banned when it comes out.
Yeah always had a good chuckle at the people that would try to point out the echo chamber hypocrisy in a subreddit and be upvoted but yelled at so hard then banned.
Same story every time.
That sub is a circlejerk for white knights and femenists Women are never wrong there.
Also a great place for training bots and gauging responses.
Wasn’t there some trend of people wanting to make self-driving cars take into account ethics in their decision making in emergencies, by having some website where people could pretty much solve trolley problems, with just a conductor in the trolley to also take into account some years ago? I’m imagining them scraping that subbredit for answers to questions like “AITA for having run over 2 orphan children in order to save 6 old ladies?”
I’m pretty sure most stories are made up too. They just seem so well written with no grammatical errors or anything.
Thank christ i left reddit for lemmy, this place is so muchnicer and better for my mental health.
I haven’t missed it at all
I miss it every day, even tempted to go back. Niche hobbies, local communities, not so niche hobbies…
Only at the cost of your soul
Old Reddit + adblock + visiting a specific subreddit is hardly soul destroying
I wouldn’t browse my old Reddit feed, I would visit a few subs that don’t have representation here. All hobbies and interests.
The admins are evil, but the small communities were quite alright. The bigger ones (soccer, formula1) are good enough to get the news and meme a bit.
What would Aaron Schwartz do?
Yeah they just don’t act like thus stereotypical over there.
Also, “femoid”?
i think femoid might mean a feminist who goes overboard and instead of equality, believes that women should have more rights than men
No, it’s a term to dehumanize women they don’t agree with. Don’t be stupid and explain how there are good people on the incel side.
oh ok. thats why i said “i think it might mean etc” and not “it means etc” but thanks for explaining anyway.
also how was that explaining there are good people on the incel side? what does that even mean?
Sorry I was a bit aggressive. I was mocking Trump’s ‘very fine people on both sides’ because it felt like an attempt to say there is a justified way to use that term. But they use it just as a general insult for women.
It’s just what they call women because women aren’t people in their eyes. Classic neckbeard sexist shit.
This.
Pretty much sums up the thread.
that makes more sense, thx
This green text, like every post on AitA is a work of fiction.
Lmao I’ve actually done just that before, swapping the genders of a previous post, and people do say the complete opposite even though it’s the same situations.
This guy is full of shit, communities on plebbit start with p/
He’s talking about reddit
Fake AF, there isn’t any post with reverse genders on the subreddit.
The AITAH people are nothing if not weirdly observant of what happens on that sub. This would be caught immediately
The text is probably made up, but people have done such swap posts several times before and got similarly opposite results. Usually the posts get removed from the sub when someone eventually notices the deception, but you can still read them if you have a link. It’s a very toxic sub.
Could have been deleted
I do think the age changes it. If it’s an 18 year old guy asking about his girlfriend, I also would be like, “hey, that may be a bit much. Old ones are fine.” cause they’re young. The expectations are lower. If it’s an adult woman asking this for her husband, I would say to not give it on their birthday. “Hey, here’s my old pair. Happy birthday” may be a bit flippant, but saying, “Hey, I got a new pair, want my old one?” doesn’t seem like a bad deal.
Also, we didn’t see the post. Maybe the other gifts were also bad. Not saying that AITA isn’t a dumpster fire. But he changed the factors and didn’t give us all the information.
Edit: I just saw the post. He bought her airpods a few years ago and, with how he’s talking, it sounds like he got his around the same time. His wife’s are glitching and just generally failing, but his used ones are fine. He says she takes care of them as with the rest of her things. He has the option to get free, new pair. Yeah, that is kind of dickish. “Here’s my old headphones that could very well be on their way out as well and have been worn for x years. Please enjoy while I get my brand new set that I’ve openly told you I don’t need. Happy birthday.”
If this wasn’t her birthday, fine. But on the day? That kind of fucked imo
I’m gonna go ahead and hope that neither those redditors nor those channers ever find Lemmy
The sucky answer is if lemmy gets popular it’ll just be Reddit without the ban lists
I like that many of the people who should be banned here herd into instances that are defederated
True, there will be a lot of self-selection here. So maybe my theory is unfounded
