    Only after reading the comments do I realise it’s about crushing flowers.

    I thought it was about how when you run through the tall grass with no shoes as a kid you can get effectively paper cuts between your toes haha.

    I internallly winced at seeing this photo picture remembering all the times as a kid

    I thought this is about liking feet

    Having your bare feet in the grass feels so goddamn good and I’m tired of pretending that it doesn’t feel great

      having your bare feet on the ground generally feels way better, with the exception of dark surfaces in the summer and, like, any outdoor surface in the winter.

      Even the most miserable jagged gravel can sorta start feeling nice when you’ve taken some years to build up thicker soles, then it becomes like those spike mats people lay on.

      I disagree, but I’m allergic to grass. However, if you like it, there should be no reason to pretend you don’t.

      Hypothesis: the message seems to imply that the cliche nature lover needs to trample and destroy said nature to be close to it.

      This seems the most likely explanation to me.

      And I find it neither funny nor insightful.

      Edit: I can’t manage to copy paste usernames on mobile but please check out the refinement by the comment to this post. Highly valuable edition. Tldr of it: not “nature lovers” in general but social media invasive nature lovers.

        It’s not so much nature lovers but social media “content creators” who are criticized here.

        There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can’t find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.

      I weirdly see a lot of these “yes…but…” Comics everywhere and I don’t get like 90% of them tbh.
