    It’s called edging. You continually push “edgy” funny jokes because they are so crass and rebellious that you eventually arrive at the wonderful magnificent fascist USA we have today. That’s how gamer culture took over the white house.

    I mean sometimes you can just not say an offensive word, even if you think it’s funny.

        I could have used circlejerk instead but it’s mildly homophobic and doesn’t have a good verb form. Anyway, my apologies for the confusion. Don’t mind me, just continue masturbating with the others.

      You and I have very different definitions of “edging.”

        the descriptor “breedable” is misogynistic because it’s a form of edging, how could they be more clear? 😂

      You have a point there about the prevalence of politically incorrect jokes leading young men and influencers down a pipeline of right wing thought. I mean, gamergate did happen for a reason.

      Though, I’m pretty sure that’s not what edging means

      I’m not a native speaker but… breedable is not gendered? Or what do you mean? In addition, seeing Stamets post history, I’d say the argument doesn’t… fit?

      source

      • Anomalocaris@lemm.ee ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I think the term even comes from gay vocabulary, usually used for bottoms. so it’s only misogyny in the sense that it originally excluded women

        You mean the nonstop homosexuality that I pump out on a regular basis?

        MEME FYI: Essentially, submissive and breedable is meant to be an absurd, funny term of endearment, especially when used towards men, who might not particularly take the terms “submissive” or “breedable” as compliments in a traditional sense. It’s often used in the LGBTQ+ community and towards more effeminite men, including femboys like F1nnster, to compliment them on looking, well, submissive and breedable.

        Except, this context is missing in this meme, here it is associated with a girl portraying a character that was sold as part of a deal to be bred with. It is no longer absurd or flipping gender roles. That was her value, being breedable. It doesn’t matter who stamets is, same rules apply. Memes mutate and change. Your body my choice.

        In the original context it is funny because it is absurd, they are men joking among each other knowing they don’t breed, and they are also not in danger of being used as sex slaves powerful men. It’s funny because we live in a post-homophobic, post-misogynist and post-racial world. They even shut down the f*****-suicide prevention hotline recently because it was no longer needed!

        You can criticize me for using the completely goonerified word “edging” because that is just triggering. I thought it was clever since words have power precisely because they have hidden meaning.

      my sister once tricked me into eating a rock when I was little.
      I’m… uh… not a nazi now??

      I was edging constantly in my mid to late thirties. Even now I find myself edging without even realizing it!

  You’d be surprised that I had someone in my replies the other day saying they never came across misogyny on here. The replies are yikes.

  • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    That’s great and all but I’d like y’all to explain what, exactly, is misogynist about this post.

    source

    • StarlightDust@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I mean, like, the concept of “submissive and breedable” is just rooted in a shitty origin really. It it dehumanising and minimises people to their ability to get pregnant. Spreading it outside of the context of the meme means spreading the misogyny of the term itself.

      source

      • DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I think it’s been pretty successfully recaptured tbh. Thanks, gaybros!

        Even if it hadn’t been in this context the joke would be about making your brother look like a weird creep.

  is it?

  I mostly heard “breedable” in gay settings to refer to twinks.

  source

  • PyroNeurosis@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    Are twinks as the ‘submissives’ in the pairing not the feminine? And this not a facet of mysogyny by transposition?
