Troy: “Lemme ask you something. People been clowning me about this jacket since I got here. But, if I take it off to make them happy, that just makes me weak, right?”
Jeff: “Listen, it doesn’t matter. You lose the jacket to please them, you keep it to piss them off. Either way, it’s for them. That’s what’s weak.”
Troy: “Whoa. You just wrinkled my brain, man.”
Years ago I had a romantic partner, and they were going through some significant changes, eventually culminating in our breakup and later their acceptance and identification with non-binary gender. Not important.
Shortly after we broke up, or kinda broke up or whatever, she shaved her head to a short stubble. It looked good. Started hanging out more with a guy we knew let’s call him Tom. Real nice guy, great cook, just a good all round human. He decided to go on a cross country van trip, and my ex decided to go with him. Saw some pics looked like fun, whatever.
Within our friend group there was a couple that would come around to parties: she was very nice and friendly, strikingly attractive light eyes; her husband was kind of a terse dickish guy. About a year after my ex’s road trip, the couple gets a divorce. The woman, shaves her head to a short stubble, it looked good. Within a few months guess who goes on a cross country road trip with Tom?
Tom had some kind of incredible game wrt recently shorn femmes and cross country road trips.
Congratulations, now you look like a teenage boy.
Found the creep.
What is the point of making up contentious stories? Just say you got a haircut. I guess getting people to comment is the point, which evidently works. I hate this version of the internet.
The fact that this is perceived as a joke, maybe.
This is funny?
“I was victimized by the patriarchy, so I got a haircut”
Everything has to be a buzzfeed headline… Nobody “just does stuff” anymore. All of life’s banal moments need to be presented as either a reaction or a challenge to really sell them. How else are you going to get online randos invested in your new haircut?
Ah yes, the absolute violator move of telling someone they have nice hair. I hope she survives such a harrowing assault.
Followed by a “menacing commentary on the weather”
Fake, it’s not her writing it.
I did suspect that possibility. My statement stands though. I hate this version of the internet where doing this sort of stuff is common and popular.
Yesterday some uptown girl commented on my ruggy full beard, so today I wore my beard again, because I don’t really give a fuck about her opinion.
uptown girl
She’s been living in her uptown world.
I bet she’s never had a backstreet guy.
Bet her mama never told her why
I’m gonna try for an uptown girl
She’s been living in her white-bred world
That spelling really changes the vibe
Oh Jesus God
And yet it probably actually doesn’t.
Aren’t you afraid the uptown girl could rape you?
I doubt that shaving would have any effect on that.
Ooooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh… ooooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh-oooh… my uptown girrrrrl
I’d choose the uptown bear
Could an uptown girl drug you given the right circumstances?
Aren’t you afraid the uptown girl could rape you?
Only if you’re a downtown man.
That’s who I am!
oof
fuck xavier
What was the lore about this again? I know there was papalu before, but did people think the account got hijacked or what?
No, someone just started pasting Xavier over Pakalu Papito’s tweets.
Oh wow, weird how successful it’s been. I never see the real name anymore
If I know something from reddit, it is fuck Xavier and appreciate pakalu papito
Fuck Xavier. Long live Pakalu Papito.
People believe this shit?
I can’t find the reference but the picture is from a stylists’ website.
It’s just ragebait.
I fucking hate ragebait. It makes me rage just thinking about it.
Lol
You don’t understand. A simple compliment about something that obviously takes a lot of work is TRAUMATIZING! Tune in tomorrow when she tries to get her revenge via HR and they politely tell her to seek employment elsewhere because they don’t want none of her kind of crazy, and she follows up with a post about being unfairly cancelled.
I’m pretty sure the girl in the picture had nothing to do with with the batshit stupid captions. As I understand it, the pic was taken from a stylists’s page.
Do you think that somebody would actually do that? Get on the Internet and tell lies?
You made me spit out my cat burger.
Oh I am too. I thought the ridiculousness of the whole thing made it obvious I’m joking.
Oh I got it. Was just adding on.
GD it, ya got me o7
That’ll show him!
Lul, thumbnail made me think this was a Milana Vayntrub social media post about a great day at the hair stylists.
Entirely besides the point, but the shirt hair makes her head look very square. So I think she was better off with the long hair.
Yes, creep. you don’t like it. That was the point.
If you judge someone’s look without sexualising them or even telling them (in a weird way), you’re not a creep.
The whole “it was just a compliment” crowd is wrong because the statements are not compliments. They’re usually overly sexual, predatory, in a threatening way, or very pushy.
That’s why it’s mostly not that “compliments are now illegal”, it’s just something else.
But if someone’s literally just saying something like “your hair looks great” without otherwise being pushy or intrusive, they’re not a creep! And calling them just proves the actual creeps right when they say that just every compliment counts as being creepy.The whole “it was just a compliment” crowd is wrong
Yep.
But if someone’s literally just saying something like “your hair looks great”…
Huh, thought you were just explaining that you were better than this. Oh well…
So according to you it is not ok to compliment strangers on their hair?
It depends on context. If someone says “a creep complimented my hair”, I’ll take their word on it. No need to be an ass and say “Well, if they were only complimenting your hair…”
Sorry, it’s never “only” a compliment. Women know when men are being creeps. Even the most vanilla compliment can be deeply inappropriate.
“Your hair looks great today”, he told her:
- as soon as her boyfriend steps away
- as she’s leaving the ladies room
- while backing her into a corner
- whispering into her ear from behind
- while attempting to touch her hair
- while staring directly at her breasts
I don’t wanna hear “but he only said” arguments coming from anyone who didn’t see how the creep said it.
Yeah, that’s where I check out. I’m a guy. I know and interact with women. Sometimes I wanna be like Hey, nice dress, because it’s a nice dress, not because I’m thinking about abandoning my kids and leaving my wife over it. Instead I say nothing, because I understand that we live in a time where it might be misconstrued as sexual harassment. It’s dumb.
Imagine being so vindictive that you have to invent reasons to continue being vindictive.
I have the kind of super long and thick hair that gets attention. Most of the compliments I like. I did after all use a lot of effort and time growing and taking care of it.
Once, at work, I got approached by a guy with a fetish for long, reddish hair. He proceeded to tell me how great of a boyfriend he’d be, how he’d wash and brush and take such good care of my hair. I was disgusted. And that disgust got associated with my hair. It took a couple of days for that disgust to fade and during it I did not like my hair.
If that kind of shit happened often I’d totally see myself cutting the hair off.
Anybody (of any gender) that perfomatively does something solely out of spite is toddler core.
“My girlfriend told me she doesn’t like mullets so I got a mullet lol”
“My dad says I’m not allowed a tattoo so now I want one even more!”
Toddler core.
I don’t know if I’d trust any of the text around it until we see more … the picture doesn’t seem like it matches at all.
Yes punks are toddlers, anyone going against the status quo - toddlers, all acts of rebellion- toddler vibes. Being radical- toddler.
I think it’s better to just say toddlers are punks. They just don’t give a shit about authority. Toddlers are soooo punk rock. I asked my 3yo if he knew where he was, he said “I’m in the jungle, baby!”. Yeah. Like that.
I hope the toddlers rise against the system
I knew an awful lot of punks, that performatively didn’t shower, that performatively vandalized stuff, and so on. One of them even performatively became a nazi, then stayed that way.
Yes, even punks can be toddlercore, and the better ones call out that shit.
Stop trying to make ‘toddler core’ happen. Also this is creepy to whine about someone’s hair this hard. You are a creep.
I don’t care about anyone’s hair. Maybe you misread my comment? You can sub in any action performatively done in response to a “no”.
Your misreading of my comment is toddler core.
Yall this is pretty fucking weird…
It’s an incel meme. It’s super weird.
makes a lot of sense actually. if its actually an incelmeme, its probably supposed to generate the exact kind of comments we are seeing here right now
