    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.

                What, my removed comments that got mischaracterized and swarmed by people virtue signaling like you instead of actually engaging in a rational discussion and trying to understand what I was actually trying to say? Cause if you could see the full context, which you can’t, you would see that what I was saying wasn’t transphobic at all.

                And that string of “banned for being transphobic” was all from one mod, on a series of comms that I’ve never participated in, over the aforementioned conversation on a different comm. And that mod was clearly someone like you who cares more about virtue signaling than rational discussion.

                After all, I called you a woman, didn’t I? I used your preferred pronouns. That doesn’t seem like something a transphobe would do, does it? I’ve never once attacked you for being trans. I’ve called you out for being self-righteousness and in many cases bigoted, and I’ve seen other trans people call you out for the same shit too.

                But whatever, don’t lose sleep. I wouldn’t want you to damage your health. Just, when you wake up in the morning, take a look in the mirror and realize you’re just a human too, with human flaws, and you don’t get a pass on that just because of your marginalized status.

                Anyone can be a bigot. If you don’t believe me, just look at Caitlin Jenner, Alice Weidel, Kanye West. It’s not exclusive to cishet white men. Remember that.

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

            But yeah, my self awareness is non-existent.

            Good allies you got there!

              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.

              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.

                I’m never going to find humor in making fun of women like this.

                There’s no amount of snotty little boys telling me I’m no fun that will make me lean in to casual misogyny.

      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…
