Thanks for the details you provided though, it was informative and might affect the next time I post something like this (maybe I’ll add some kind of disclaimer or something).

Are you trying/hoping to meet someone there?

No one at the bouldering gym? What country/state do you live in? I’ve been to two different bouldering gyms and got the impression that it’s one place where people happily help each other or discuss techniques or challenge each other to go up walls. This, however, is my experience in northern Europe in a city where this is a somewhat common sport to play.

depressed people cherry pick negative evidence to support their worldview that they are worthless

These people need help. It’s not my problem or responsibility. It’s THEIR responsibility.

In any case, thanks for pointing it out. Obviously people should be aware that it’s a meme that has incel undertones and is likely made by an incel (I found it online and reposted it here… not really anywhere in specific, I think I was duckduckgo’ing something else and this popped up in the results, so not from 4chan or anything like that).

I can appreciate that you laugh at the funny face, but the message genuinely disgusts me.

I respect that. I understand that, if seen from the incel lens, this meme looks bad.

I want you to post memes that aren’t shitty

**Sorry, sadly that’s not something that I’ll stop doing on Lemmy Shitpost.**I recommend you check out Ten Forward, where I post better memes… if you like Star Trek.

I apologize for my tone. be well snek

You too, TimewornTraveller, may you travel somewhere less cruel than our current era for some time and rest that weariness 😊

I guess saying anything that sniffs remotely as politically incorrect (whatever that is these days) leads us straight to swastikas lol

Yeah. I think. I’m what you would call someone who posted it “ironically”.

Basically the contrast was hilarious and it seemed like a good shit post

snek, 1 year ago (edited 5 months ago)

I posted it to promote one thing and one thing only: giggles from the shitposting meme community.

I’m F30 (if that matters at all), I have a boyfriend, we live together in a stable and happy relationship, we’re both social, have lots of friends and boardgames and beer, and occasionally take each other out on dates at nice restaurants. Neither of us is “unattractive” (whatever that means in this context, quite subjective I’d say), and we both laughed our ass off at this meme, it was funny, and gave my brain the giggles. Not everything like this is pushing incel ideology, and neither does anything else on my profile (feel free to check, I guess?).

PS: It’s nice to see people giving each other advice for dating here… One funny thing about the meme is that that person in the bottom row might simply “view” themselves that way, or exaggerate the contrast between him and the guy in the upper row. All in all, some people got the laughs, others got nice advice, there was no intention to promote any kind of ideology, so I’d say it’s been a good post.

It’s Lemmy Shitpost, is it not?

snek, 1 year ago

The message of the meme, that someone is so unattractive they can not date anyone at all, is not explicitly incel ideology,

Hmmm, to me it read differenlty: that someone who is attractive doesn’t understand the problems that come with being unattractive, and also it was funny how naively the guy in the bottom row asks “are you sure?”.

I guess, like everything else in life, there’s more than one way to read/interpret something.

I’ve seen lots of people get obsessed over their “fit” looks, and sometimes them going to the gym is both caused and made worse by more obsession with fitness.

Personally, it helped my confidence a lot and made me happier in my body to hit the gym. Seeing progress in something where you have to have grit and dedication usually does help people boost their confidence though, like learning an instrument or a new language, especially in children. Nothing as rewarding as meeting one’s own goals, if you ask me.

I mean if you posted a funny meme of hitler, would it not have a swastika on it?

And yes, this is Lemmy Shitpost. If you want classier shit I think you might want to look elsewhere.

“I Sexually Identify as an Attack Helicopter” to me sounds like it makes fun of made up tumblr genders.

Anyway, I guess I don’t see it the way you do. I think it’s a lot of over analysis that turns people into censorship/word police. I don’t prefer absolute censorship because it puts discussions to death. I’d rather this is out there and talked about rather than removed to be only in corners of the internet where these “incels” would gather alone, further removed from society.

If you think it’s problematic, by all means do report it.

So… Next time you want me to post it with a trigger warning? I didn’t really feel like it needed one, being a meme and all.

And please stop taking to me like this, this patronizing tone is not called for.

snek, 1 year ago

Right, thanks for pointing out that it would be dogwhistling if I had done it intentionally. I’m not taking it down though, seems like there is sufficient discussion in the comment section about this, plus people seem to think it’s more funny than it’s offensive.

snek, 1 year ago (edited 5 months ago)

I’m going to be honest, this will sound silly, but… Watching Avatar The Last Airbender really helped.

snek, 1 year ago

Thank you. This was hilarious.

Huh? Are you replying to the right comment? or to yourself, or what exactly?
