And this one even has a little homophobia sprinkled in.
I think homosexuality has reached a level of societal acceptance(at least in the west), that it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.
Then again, some might argue that being against nazis was a societal norm, so being ironically nazi was fine too. Yet here we are now, where being unironically nazi is somewhat acceptable by a large part of the society.
And being homophobic is even more acceptable by a large part of the society.
it is ok to be ironically homophobic again.
Us gays are savagely homophobic for comedic effect, so yeah. 😅
If two guys friends are dating it’s very important to warn them that their partner is gay
Bonus panel:
Even chadder face: “I married my husband”
Lol bro that’s gay, congrats !
It does appear this post is ultra based. /s
I get what you mean but that’s not homophobic. I mean, it’s true in my case. Lol
where did you get that from, along with 30 people who upvoted this
It’s a way for people to recognize that times have changed and that by making jokes ironically it means that yes they are accepted as gay and that we do acknowledge that it was a real struggle in the past
Yeah, exactly, I thought that that comment was forcefully trying to find the post offensive
“I barely talk to my friends lol.”
“There’s a male loneliness epidemic.”
Maybe we should think about these memes less as complex thought-out statements, and more as reflections of the times they are created in, just like all art.
"I spend my free time playing Marvel games and Fortnite, I never go outside and never try to meet new people in any way.
Why is society making me so lonely? 🥺🥺 How come w*men won’t eff me? 🤬🤬🤬"
Thanks, I am validated now
Stealing this bc true
Tagged as “insane misandrist”, it sure checks out.
I wouldn’t say this is an insane take from that person, or misandrist really. I have no other meanings in regards to what that person says, but in this case this is a sensible take.
The whole meme is about how women are “hysterical” and overly emotional. While men are calm and chill creatures.
It caters to stereotypes that view women in a negative light. I know exactly zero women who act like this. Most women are calm and chill people as well. Unless you of course call them hysterical or overly emotional, then they can rightfully get a bit mad. You would probably react that way also. It kinda infantalizes you.
I would as a man, expect my best friend to tell me if he’s moving, expecting a child, or is getting married, within a reasonable timeframe. That is within a couple of months.
I’ve now tagged you as “insane misogynist” for the sake of balance.
Your profile got tags?
I have tagged you as trolololol
That’s very kind of you. I’ll change my name so you can make the most of the tag. My new name will be… “not trololol”
???
Ooh! Can I get that tag too pls 🥺
What if I call you a stinky moid? 🥺🥺🥺
I had a friend who excitedly told me about their new car but neglected to mention their 6 month old son.
“But I am gay.”
Plot twist!
Keep in mind they call each other bro because in 45 years they don’t even know each others names since they met.
Would die for each other tho.
I have friends that i know for 10+ years and i don’t know their real names
I picked up an order at a stor for a long time friend the other day. They needed his last name. Luckily I was able to reach him via text.
I learned someone’s name at work yesterday. We’ve been at the same location for like 8 months… and we have nametags…
This guy works
He is gay, married another bro.
That’s the least possible gay thing he could do.
How about transitioning to a woman, then marrying their female best friend? I feel like that would at least be slightly less gay
It is a little weird when you meet an old friend and they are now trans
I respect but it was a culture shock
Girl boring guy quirky.
And it’s ultimately insulting to men too, like the idea of being excited to share personal news is somehow anathema to the male experience.
I don’t know how serious one has to take themselves to find this “ultimately insulting”. It’s a silly meme and it’s funny because most men can relate to it.

I’m not even that other person, just letting you know you’re an asshole.

Just so you know, this isn’t Reddit. You’ve just been blocked by everyone reading along here.
If you start to feel like no one replies here, it’s actually you, in this case. It could help to try again with a new account.
Do we have an IAmVerySmart community on Lemmy? Because you would fit right in over there. Over here everybody just thinks you’re a smug asshole.
Low maintenance friendships are the best ships 🛳️
I’m no psychoanalyst but it sounds like someone is insecure in their ability to love and be loved and would prefer to guarantee a balanced reciprocity of low effort on both sides.
Isn’t it just boy and girl different?
Yes. Men and women are different.
I enjoyed the stereotype to laugh it but I feel obligated to state one thing. Relationships require maintenance, that’s it regardless of boy or girl. Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.
Idunno I have quite a few friends where we only interact like every 4-8 months ish. But when we do we talk everyday for a month or two, then go separate ways again. Lifes busy we all know that. Not being in contact does no mean losing a friend.
True, but I also don’t want to be friends with you if you get upset because I’m not constantly sharing my whole life story with you at all times.
I’ve had my share of high maintenance friends, and I burn out so quick.
Sure some people might say hi back but that doesn’t mean they’re a friend.
True. But I’ve had some great friendships grow after years of just “hi” in passing. We weren’t friends yet, but we were destined to become friends.
But if you’re an incel and a Chad says “hi” back then yeah, it’s a big deal for those weirdos
When offer to go to lunch with someone you haven’t seen in 15 years and they respond with as long as its not within 100ft of a school
SNL did it

gay people cant get married?
Soon maybe not anymore
Depends on where you are sadly.
He was starting to think it, and now he knows.
Shit, that reminds me I should text my best friend, he might be a father by now.
When was the last time you texted him?
It’s probably been two years. Ever since he got married and moved out of town this has been normal for us. Also he works during the day and I work during the night so it’s difficult to find a good time to talk.
Uh just the standard interval, 10 years ago
also men: “WE HAVE A LONELINESS EPIDEMIC!”
Yes. That’s a big part of what’s going on. A lot of men, particularly poor and middle class, have no real culture of interaction and have been told they are worth the money they make a month and nothing else.
When people watermark memes. SMH
Weird incel memes at that
I’m genuinely curious here: what makes this an incel meme?
The high maintenance example is women, while the low maintenance example is men, but that does seem to be a bit of a leap.
It’s stereotypical humor and not meant to be taken literally or held against women
Ohhh I didn’t realize you made it and knew the original intent and context in which it was created and shared
As a woman, yeah i totally accidentally told my bros I got married a few years after the fact. In my defense we eloped and my friends and I sometimes go a few years without talking much
waahhhh there is a loneliness epidemic and nobody cares about men
This is something I don’t like about guys, as a guy.
