    Well, yeah, that’s natural selection. The cute ones tend to have higher career salaries on average, so they are able to attract female spiders to mate with.

          Why does every topic necessitate a joke about women wanting men with money?

          WHY?

          We’re talking about spiders ffs

          Gold digger jokes aren’t even clever anymore, like at least have more creativity jesus christ

              That user is notoriously self-righteousness about grandstanding whenever gender is even slightly mentioned. Even when other women tell her she’s being obnoxious.

                  That’s hilarious because I’m not even a transphobe, so that fits right in with your character of calling people various kinds of intolerant in order to feel like you’re on a moral pedestal

                    It’s not like your removed comments disappear.

                    Regardless, if users like you are the ones who don’t like me, I’m not losing sleep over it.

                    It’s been a long time since I lived my life based on what others expect of me. My moral code is strong and I’m not ashamed of it.

                    Have a good one out there.

                  You’re agreeing with someone banned from multiple communities for their transphobic attacks.

                  But yeah, my self awareness is non-existent.

                    your lens of the world must be extremely cloudy, kiddo. i don’t care about your fantasy outrage scenarios. and quite frankly, I don’t have to.

                    you are an extremely unpleasant individual to be around and comment to.

                    good day.

                    One mod. Several communities that I’ve never participated in. Over a strawman.

                    Yeah, but self-awareness has everything to do with this. 🙄

              Oh no, I’m being a killjoy for all the jokes about misogyny, rape, and pedophilia in this site?

              Yeah I’m the one in the wrong.

              I’ve got messages in my inbox justifying electing a rapist regardless of political identity and we can’t even talk about spiders without someone making jokes about how shitty women are.

              Whatever.

                we can’t even talk about spiders without someone making jokes about how shitty women are.

                Funny thing coming back to this thread and answering a few more replies about people’s admiration for spiders, it kind of hit me that once you collapse your initial comment about the light-hearted joke, people can actually just talk about spiders. Like all the off topic talk was caused by you and no one else.

                The initial joke is even biologically accurate.

                The cute ones tend to have higher career salaries on average, so they are able to attract female spiders to mate with.

                Not in all, but some (very prominently the “peacock spiders”), the males absolutely have to be cute and perform a literal dance … with a high chance of getting eaten by the female if they don’t live up to her standards.

                So yeah, that joke is actually pretty good if you knew a fucking thing about spider biology. But you had to come here and inject your brand of self-righteous feminism into it. Great job.

                  Gold digger jokes are inherently misogynistic. I’m allowed my opinion when someone comments at me with said joke.

                  Scolding me isn’t going to change my mind here. Do you feel better though?

                    nobody did in any serious capacity. you flew off the handle and then doubled down when you were told it was a joke.

                    go outside and touch grass ffs. read some poetry. literally anything that might help you develop a sense of humor.

                  It’s so funny to punch down on women, you’re right! I don’t know how I never realized before that women are so fucking shitty and it’s so fucking funny to laugh how they traditionally were held back from real career opportunities and were forced to rely on men for support and now we laugh and laugh and laugh about how they were subjugated and now have to deal with a glass ceiling and men laughing at their struggles.

                  It’s SO FUNNY, isn’t it?

            If women as a rule preferred men with good personalities over men with a lot of money, then why would Elon Musk have so many kids?

            Try being a broke man with a decent personality and then tell me where golddigger jokes come from, goddamn.

            Or just go over to reddit dating advice and count how many times a woman explains to a guy that even though his looks and personality might be okay, if he’s making minimum wage then he’s not going to be viewed as a viable long-term partner…
