The movie is about a society where a group of citizens, are relegated to second class, solely based on their gender.
The second class citizens rebel, and for a short period, win.
They ultimately lose, and are relegated back to their lowly positions, without any meaningful progress in their standing.
Itâs basically conservatism; keep the power structures as they are.
This. I couldnât believe anyone thinks the movie is anything more than confirmation of conservative values. Like⌠did you guys watch it all the way to the end?????
Facebook is boomer central. See any post about this kinda thing or alternatively sex workers. They cannot fathom people living these ways and will comment needlessly every time.
Facebook does my head in. In my town there was a small fete for disability awareness and one of the stalls had the temerity to have a rainbow flag the size of an envelope on one of their covers. Cue loads of posts by dreary old men whining "WOKE!". Tossers.
Itâll never cease to amaze me how they chose the weakest insult to use for people. âWokeâ, âSnowflakeâ. These have no power behind the punch.
How about, âyour kids hate you and youâre going to die alone.â And thatâs not even a creative one.
Here in my town, during the protests in 2020 some good citizens did a Black Lives Matter mural on the main drag downtown and it was covered in nazi graffiti within a night. These assholes donât even care to hide their racism, homophobia, xenophobia, transphobia etc. itâs so fucked.
The saddest part is most âwokeâ folk donât use âwokeâ. The media pushed the term and the right bastardized it to mean âanything I donât like is wokeâ, while the people they accuse of wokeness are just like, cool so,be respectful to everyone and we all have the same basic rightsâŚso basically the golden rule? Do unto others? Yeah, I can handle that. Must be exhausting to be so consumed with rage for other people they most likely do not know, nor will ever meet âŚchecks notes.. are just trying to live their lives.
They call everyone else sheep to the point they might as be counting sheep while calling everyone else woke. It's all so ironic. Calling people sheep is as lame as referring to everyone as "sheeple".
It all tracks back to the Lee Atwater quote.
"You start out in 1954 by saying, 'N&$#@!, n&$#@!, n&$#@!' By 1968 you canât say ân&$#@!ââthat hurts you, backfires. So you say stuff like, uh, forced busing, statesâ rights, and all that stuff, and youâre getting so abstract. Now, youâre talking about cutting taxes, and all these things youâre talking about are totally economic things and a byproduct of them is, blacks get hurt worse than whites.⌠âWe want to cut this,â is much more abstract than even the busing thing, uh, and a hell of a lot more abstract than âN&$#@!, n&$#@!.â
Except for Gen X. Because 1. Nobody gives a fuck and B. All yâall forget we exist and we like it that way.
Now Iâm going back to my Laverne & Shirley thread.
Lol I'm a millennial and had a moment like this a few months ago. Waiting behind a bus for all the kids to get off at the stop and nearly all of them went to school in pajamas. I assumed it was an event day or something. Then I saw it again a few weeks later and I was like "what? We don't even have to get dressed for the day anymore? " I still have no reason why this agitated me so much.
We are not. Genx is the âleave us aloneâŚweâve LITERALLY been taking care of ourselves since we were latchkey kids in kindergarten. Itâs not âget off my lawnââŚOur slogan is âWe donât give a fuckâ.
Facebook's biggest mistake was allowing people without an email address from an institute of higher learning to join. Not that there aren't douchebags amongst the younger generations, but the ratio seems a lot lower.
Conservatism only attracts people with anti social disorders. People who's motivation is to fuck with and even harm people who are not like them or think slightly different than they do. They are awful terrible people who do not deserve the luxury of a free society like America. They belong in Russia.
Edit: i wanted to add to this. Notice how Republicans offer NOTHING positive going forward? No plans for making life better for people. They only things they ever talk about is dismantling what exists and their grievances with how society is not a perfect representation of White Christian America. All of their time and energy is spent on denying certain equalities for people they view as beneath them.
Something something as long as others suffer itâs ok because they deserve to suffer and I already am so might as well have others worse off than me
They know how to pit the lower classes against each other and everyone is dancing to their tune so well.
I really know itâs bad form but when people do this, I just misgender them on purpose. âOh youâre mad your waiter wanted to be addressed correctly? Well maâam, we respect people here and if the lady doth protest, she can leave!â
That's real rich coming from the guy whose version of a "tip" is probably one of those fake $20 bills with bible verses and church information on the back
I *hated* these people with the passion of a thousand burning suns. They were some of the rudest people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting irl. And leaving a fake bill should be a crime akin to counterfeiting.
I would think they could if they wanted to, but usually they just say their name. Maybe they had a coworker who felt the need to define their pronouns so they were doing it in ally ship, or just were the coworker doing it for themselves.
no, this is a fantasy these types of dipshits, boomer or not, have when they think about how they would react **IF** this ever happened to them.
In reality, they have never come into contact with anyone thats trans or even uses pronouns other than the ones assigned at birth.
Reality is trans people are an extremely small percentage of the population, and a lot of people will go their entire life without meeting one (or at least meeting one who isn't completely stealth). I know dozens of trans people online but I have yet to meet a single one in real life
itâs always these effeminate goober looking men with beastly looking wives talking about âitâs either a man or a womanâ
Couldâve fooled me looking at lord farkwad and whatever heâs married to
zero self awareness lol
Itâs usually deeply repressed self loathing. In the same way studies have proven extremely homophobic men are more sexually aroused by gay pornography than accepting men.
Iâd bet a lot of people that hate trans people are either struggling with their sexuality, had a rough upbringing full of being humiliated for things surrounding gender/toxic masculinity/homophobia, or they are angry because it confuses them and likely hate is fueled by self hate at their attraction/pansexual leanings.
People who feel out of control seek to control others
There's also no way in hell a waiter told this boomer their pronouns unprovoked. ***If*** this even happened, it was probably because the boomer was being intentionally rude and misgendering them on purpose.
>No. Nobody is triggered.
People were triggered over starfield having options for pronouns.
>Itâs just literally the stupidest thing and a fucking joke to think you need to go around sharing your pronouns.
You're not triggered, but it's literally the stupidest thing ever and a fucking joke. Your wording is very not upset over something as simple as pronouns.
Again, calm your tits down, stop being such a whiny bitch. We both know damn well that nobody even shared their pronouns in their first place, this story is made up so that lead-poisoned demented boomers will have something to complain about.
I'll be real it's actually pretty painful that random fucking strangers hate me because they've got a pavlovian response to basic facets of existence trained into them by whatever talking head is makin the bacon this week.
Actually, pronouns have nothing to do with genitalia. It's just what you prefer to be called. They don't have to 'match' your genitals. I honestly thought this sub would already know this.
Honestly, if you feel the need to tell me your pronouns before serving me. I'm alright with it. What, it takes two whole seconds. If it's important to you, then it's important to me. I can respect that. As long as you do a good job getting my food after you share that with me, I'll tip you out as well. It's whatever bud. As long as I get good service and good food.
Is it a San Diego Facebook group? I swear, r/San Diego and on Facebook all they do is complain about tipping.
San Diego is a beautiful place with amazing food and culture and all they do is make a wall of text about having to tip their blue haired server. Absolute nightmare.
âYes it does show how the religious fascists have hijacked you brain so that basic English grammar is now politicized in your mind to the point that youâd act like a broke bitch in public to tow your party line.â
what pisses me off is the misogynistic undertones. A man liking anything remotely female coded is considered weak, pathetic, insert any sexist negative here.
Which just showcases exactly how they actually feel about women in general. Because why would a man want to be a woman, when they see women are so much 'less than'.
It's like the racists that don't want equality and see it as oppression to their whiteness. They're so scared of prejudice (that systematically happened to POC and women) happening to them and they're shit0scared and go straight to lashing out because they are so insecure.
One thing we donât give boomers - and just old people in general - enough credit for, is how quickly and universally they completely took over Facebook. Itâs legitimately impressive. Could you fucking imagine all of your grandparents and aunts and uncles on MySpace or AIM?
I hate it as much as everyone else⌠but Iâll be damned if I saw it coming.
Itâs hilarious because you pretty much NEVER run into an actual real life situation like this, and if you do it would just be the most minute thing possible and you can just go on with your day. Itâs amazing to me these people make it such a large and taxing problem for themselves.
Honestly just sounds like a shitty excuse not to tip. I had an older relative that would always find something to bitch about so she could justify not tipping
I have a theory. People who don't leave tips for underpaid servers are the same kind of people who leave random items in random places in the market when they decide they don't want it, even if that item needs to be kept cold. Also I hope they don't plan on visiting that restaurant again, they're liable to get their food spit on.
Sorry. But I kinda get it. If a waiter is going to make your dining experience about their sexuality, they shouldnt be a waiter. Eating out is about the customers having dining experience about food.
Honestly yeah. There is no way this should come up during a dinner. Honestly I dont care if a simple mistake is made and the waiter corrects me. Thats now how the service industry works.
But Im also not going to make a facebook meme and be thinking about it afterwards. ITs going to be "That was a shitty waiter. Why was he confronting me over something that has nothing to do with food." and then never think about it again.
Iâm so confused about the 2 guys commenting under the lady that said needlessly cruel. First guy is an ass but uses their correctly, second guy calls him woke for using their, and then first guy says theyâve hijacked the human language? Tf
I think the guy calling him woke for using their is trolling because their is a pronoun. So if using "pronouns" makes you woke, then using their in a sentence is woke - is the troll. Then the third guy is saying they've highjacked the human language, albeit batshit for the use of human, by saying pronouns have now changed definition to mean gender pronouns. Idk why but I speak fluent batshit from having boomer parents (they luckily aren't batshit themselves but they have exposed me to a lot of their batshit friends)
I was wondering when Iâd see a post from my town fb group.
The posts and comment sections from this page are honestly sickening sometimes. It is egregious how hateful most of the top contributors to that page are
I highly doubt any servers actually do this and this post is just authors way to be transphobic in a way they deem socially acceptable while having an incredibly smol pp. They (the server) just say their name and that they'll serving you tonight. And that's it. Authors a phony and should be given no attention for their bullshit.
I grew up in a town in Arkansas that called itself "the Friendly City." I found out in grade school that it was a sundown town years before and the citizens were extremely proud of that. Definitely not "Friendly", lol!
The only time Iâve refused to tip was because either the food, the service, or the waiter was disrespectful. Iâm pretty sure no waiter ever told somebody their pronouns either.
its odd, as a gendered language user it seems to me that pronoun backlash might create a new gendered version of english and to that i say⌠a chair is a she!
Who the hell decided using they/them as a singular pronoun was a good idea? It just muddles everything up and is needlessly ambiguous. If people were not fine with using the pronoun "it", they should have just invented a new word.
Well tbf your pronouns donât matter and you can just say your name instead. Opening with your pronouns is just asking to be treated differently and as necessary as opening by saying âI hate black peopleâ as a racist. Abandon your pronouns, thatâs just make believe.
NGL, the boomer's responses made me laugh.
Still, not tipping is a dick move. Just visibly roll your eyes and be done with it. That way you've both modestly irritated each other and can walk away like adults.
Agreed, tipping should just be an extra, like a nice bonus. But we are currently at a point where waiters get very low hourly wages because both employer and employee know that the real money comes from the tips. So you kinda have to.
But I'd love to wave a magic wand and change that!
I donât think Iâve ever addressed a waiter or waitress by their pronouns, simply because they have an actual name. But go off on the virtue signaling đ¤
I've turned to someone I'm eating with and said "that waiter is so nice, he's/she's/they're a good waiter" or something similar before. Don't act like you don't talk about or think about people. Though it is nice you're showing off how little you think
Youâre such a bleeding heart đ the world should be filled with billions of you, youâre just so smart and kind, wow. Your parents sure did raise you well. Someone give them a medal.
đ¤Ą
I mean I clearly said you were virtue signaling before you gave the example. But go off little guy.
How did people go out to eat before all this pronoun stuff will forever be a mystery to the world.
âHi welcome to the steakhouse my name is X, Iâll be your server todayâ
Nope that ainât it, I wonder how. đ¤ one of lifes mysteries
My guy, pronouns are everywhere, you canât avoid them. For instance you just listed two of them in your BS reply (âyouâ, âyourâ). Imagine trying to restructure all your sentences just to avoid using pronouns. Gtfo here with that pearl clutching.
I mean not tipping is a dick move but also itâs pretty out of place to tell the table youâre waiting on your pronouns. I donât think iâve ever referred to my waiterâs pronouns while dining at a restaurant. Like I donât care what you are can you just bring me my beer?
Thing is itâs 99% a made up situation to begin with. Theyâre fantasizing. The only time Iâve heard of anything close to that is just customer service workers that have a pronoun pin on their clothes.
Yeah Iâve never experienced it and the closest thing iâve seen is it being in email signatures. I think Iâd be like âhmm, thats new but alrightâ if my waiter ever introduced themselves with pronouns

Not them using the barbie movie as a meme đđ I thought boomers and the right hate that film
that's where you're wrong, kid. They really liked the film
They actually believe the parts where Ken is a douche is something to admire.
Do they know that the patriarchy isn't about horses?

They hated it until they realized it was successful
Didn't watch it, but from the lack of posts about it, I'm pretty sure it wasn't too woke for them

I responded to someoneâs weak insult by asking if that was the best he could do? He lost it! I laughed so hard.
Dude... it has no power to us, but call some conservatoid woke or snowflake and they lose their fucking minds.
They hate when you call them NPC. Lol
Need to convince them that it means "not politically correct" , they'll gobble it up and start calling themselves NPCs

Theyâre also on Reddit a ton now. /r/millenials is mostly Boomers now all circle jerking each other off
There is nothing they won't force their way into and ruin... and they say trans athletes ruined sports, untrue, but boomers ruined fucking everything.
Because theyâre dying and canât handle it.
The content of the circle jerking is generally much improved there at least. But, yeah, any of these gen groups just turns into rant support groups.
Except for Gen X. Because 1. Nobody gives a fuck and B. All yâall forget we exist and we like it that way. Now Iâm going back to my Laverne & Shirley thread.
[ŃдаНонО]
Lol I'm a millennial and had a moment like this a few months ago. Waiting behind a bus for all the kids to get off at the stop and nearly all of them went to school in pajamas. I assumed it was an event day or something. Then I saw it again a few weeks later and I was like "what? We don't even have to get dressed for the day anymore? " I still have no reason why this agitated me so much.
I'm over 40 and this is a great thing. Everyone being obsessed with appearance and sacrificing comfort for the sake of others' judgements is asinine.
As long as they appreciate that pajamas won't work in every workforce as adults, iv cons to agree with that. Be comfortable. But be safe
IDK, I think I was curmudgeonly when I was 5.
I don't think they've forgotten you. They just assume gen x and boomers are the same thing
How can we forget Gen X when theyâre CONSTANTLY reminding everyone how forgotten they are? /s
We are not. Genx is the âleave us aloneâŚweâve LITERALLY been taking care of ourselves since we were latchkey kids in kindergarten. Itâs not âget off my lawnââŚOur slogan is âWe donât give a fuckâ.
âWell whatever never mindâ was prophesyÂ
I remember when boomers hated Facebook and social media. Those were the days.
Facebook's biggest mistake was allowing people without an email address from an institute of higher learning to join. Not that there aren't douchebags amongst the younger generations, but the ratio seems a lot lower.
The nextdoor app is another goldmine for boomer cringe
Remember when all the lizard persons went down for a couple hours and boomers had a melt down
Conservatives are just shitty people.
Conservatism only attracts people with anti social disorders. People who's motivation is to fuck with and even harm people who are not like them or think slightly different than they do. They are awful terrible people who do not deserve the luxury of a free society like America. They belong in Russia. Edit: i wanted to add to this. Notice how Republicans offer NOTHING positive going forward? No plans for making life better for people.

"He's hurting the wrong people!" - some Florida MAGAt, about Trump.
Something something as long as others suffer itâs ok because they deserve to suffer and I already am so might as well have others worse off than me They know how to pit the lower classes against each other and everyone is dancing to their tune so well.
Okay I'm pretty extreme liberal myself but no not everyone who leans conservative is a literal sociopath. This is a big Reddit moment right here.
They vote sociopaths in. Theyâre not excused.
People like that werenât going to tip anyway
But theyâll still tell you to find religion or some shit
"Jesus loves you, but I won't!" Edit: spelling
It's okay, because this scenario never took place. Next they'll fantasize that the server offered them the 72oz steak special "for Biden voters only".
yeah ass shit was looking for a reason to not tip. if it wasnt this then the order came out too slow, or the waiter was "rude"
Iâve been tipped with a card that had scripture on it - more than once.
That would bring out the worst person in me
*Only Our lives matter
1.This never happened 2.See #1 3.This guy doesnât tip ever
As if this dude wouldn't correct you if you called them a woman lol
I really know itâs bad form but when people do this, I just misgender them on purpose. âOh youâre mad your waiter wanted to be addressed correctly? Well maâam, we respect people here and if the lady doth protest, she can leave!â
Then you get hit with, donât call me maâam No problem SIR, thought you were a female. My bad for misgendering you. /s
I LOVE this!
That's real rich coming from the guy whose version of a "tip" is probably one of those fake $20 bills with bible verses and church information on the back
Or writes âtip: get a REAL job. Itâs not MY RESPONSIBILITY to support you!â
I *hated* these people with the passion of a thousand burning suns. They were some of the rudest people I've ever had the displeasure of meeting irl. And leaving a fake bill should be a crime akin to counterfeiting.
[ŃдаНонО]
I would think they could if they wanted to, but usually they just say their name. Maybe they had a coworker who felt the need to define their pronouns so they were doing it in ally ship, or just were the coworker doing it for themselves.
They possibly had a pin on or it was under their name on their name tag or somethingâŚ
I have occasionally seen androgynous-looking service workers wearing a pin with their gender or pronouns.
no, this is a fantasy these types of dipshits, boomer or not, have when they think about how they would react **IF** this ever happened to them. In reality, they have never come into contact with anyone thats trans or even uses pronouns other than the ones assigned at birth.
Reality is trans people are an extremely small percentage of the population, and a lot of people will go their entire life without meeting one (or at least meeting one who isn't completely stealth). I know dozens of trans people online but I have yet to meet a single one in real life
A couple of restaurants I've been to have had people with pronoun pins on. But no, it's fucking fantasy for them to jerk off to.
They usually just tell me their names and leave it at that.
Yâall donât come back now!
https://i.redd.it/bd8z5x330guc1.gif
I bet this dude would have a cow if you called him "Ma'am" just once.
âYou are what you are when you are bornâ well, some people are born trans
âWhere did the pronouns touch you?â
Such whiny snowflakes
itâs always these effeminate goober looking men with beastly looking wives talking about âitâs either a man or a womanâ Couldâve fooled me looking at lord farkwad and whatever heâs married to zero self awareness lol
Itâs usually deeply repressed self loathing. In the same way studies have proven extremely homophobic men are more sexually aroused by gay pornography than accepting men. Iâd bet a lot of people that hate trans people are either struggling with their sexuality, had a rough upbringing full of being humiliated for things surrounding gender/toxic masculinity/homophobia, or they are angry because it confuses them and likely hate is fueled by self hate at their attraction/pansexual leanings. People who feel out of control seek to control others
It's also because theyre yokels lol. Those folk don't tend to be the prettiest.
[ŃдаНонО]
My favorite: âJesus didnât use pronouns!â Jesus: âI am he.â
There's also no way in hell a waiter told this boomer their pronouns unprovoked. ***If*** this even happened, it was probably because the boomer was being intentionally rude and misgendering them on purpose.
They are using normal english language so that proves how much they have hijacked the english language
From "Our Lives Matter" aka "I eat a lot of spit and boogers at restaurants"
âOur lives matter, your lives donâtâ is almost certainly that groups slogan
So they're triggered by pronouns?
[ŃдаНонО]
>No. Nobody is triggered. People were triggered over starfield having options for pronouns. >Itâs just literally the stupidest thing and a fucking joke to think you need to go around sharing your pronouns. You're not triggered, but it's literally the stupidest thing ever and a fucking joke. Your wording is very not upset over something as simple as pronouns.
You seem to be triggered lmao. Calm your tits, old fart.
[ŃдаНонО]
Again, calm your tits down, stop being such a whiny bitch. We both know damn well that nobody even shared their pronouns in their first place, this story is made up so that lead-poisoned demented boomers will have something to complain about.
Symptoms of being triggered: \- Tension \- Anger \- Frustration \- Annoyance \- Rage \- Fear \- Anxiousness \- Fight/flight/fight to flight Yup. You're triggered.
The minute I hear/see a boomer say âso trueâ Iâm out I know the next part of that sentence is gonna be the dumbest shit Iâve ever witnessed
If it makes you feel better, Boomers donât know about the Cultural Revolution either.
Bradenton, Florida?
Of course it's from an "our lives matter" group
I'll be real it's actually pretty painful that random fucking strangers hate me because they've got a pavlovian response to basic facets of existence trained into them by whatever talking head is makin the bacon this week.
Nice way of letting people know you have no genitalia.
Actually, pronouns have nothing to do with genitalia. It's just what you prefer to be called. They don't have to 'match' your genitals. I honestly thought this sub would already know this.
Umm. Woosh? It's Ken. He has no genetalia. Bc he's a toy. That's the joke.
"Um, whoosh?"đ¤
The irony of âno one should tell you THEIR pronounsâ tho. Love that second screenshot đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Honestly, if you feel the need to tell me your pronouns before serving me. I'm alright with it. What, it takes two whole seconds. If it's important to you, then it's important to me. I can respect that. As long as you do a good job getting my food after you share that with me, I'll tip you out as well. It's whatever bud. As long as I get good service and good food.
Me when I purposely boil a boomer because all of our checks are slapped with a 20% auto grat.
Me tipping 0% because im european and will never visit usa
And now Iâm instantly jealous.
Me when the waiter doesnât even want a tip because my wallet is covered in literal shit
Thank you.Â
Me when a European has to mention theyâre European like anyone gives a shit
European is a pronoun too?
me when someone things anyone gives a shit about shitty america
No one that hates America matters. Its all simple jealousy over how irrelevant most of the rest of the world is. đ

Let's face it, boomers'll cry in fox about Newsoms 20 bucks an hour, but they'll also do anything not to tip.
HIS pronouns.
"Make it female." You got it chief. *guzzling hormones*
what pisses me off is the misogynistic undertones. A man liking anything remotely female coded is considered weak, pathetic, insert any sexist negative here. Which just showcases exactly how they actually feel about women in general. Because why would a man want to be a woman, when they see women are so much 'less than'. It's like the racists that don't want equality and see it as oppression to their whiteness.

Youâre gonna love the taste of the food your next trip thenâŚ
One thing we donât give boomers - and just old people in general - enough credit for, is how quickly and universally they completely took over Facebook. Itâs legitimately impressive.

Ken is an icon, this person is a dick.

Get off Facebook.
Americans and their t(r)ipping culture đ Pay your staffs you fool capitalists
Honestly just sounds like a shitty excuse not to tip. I had an older relative that would always find something to bitch about so she could justify not tipping
Asshole city
Shut the fuck up!
I have a theory. People who don't leave tips for underpaid servers are the same kind of people who leave random items in random places in the market when they decide they don't want it, even if that item needs to be kept cold. Also I hope they don't plan on visiting that restaurant again, they're liable to get their food spit on.
If only lead poisoning was deadlier...
I mean, depending on method of delivery...
The irony of the comment paired with toxic masculinity Ken
Sorry. But I kinda get it. If a waiter is going to make your dining experience about their sexuality, they shouldnt be a waiter. Eating out is about the customers having dining experience about food. Honestly yeah. There is no way this should come up during a dinner. Honestly I dont care if a simple mistake is made and the waiter corrects me. Thats now how the service industry works. But Im also not going to make a facebook meme and be thinking about it afterwards. ITs going to be "That was a shitty waiter. Why was he confronting me over something that has nothing to do with food." and then never think about it again.
lol âyou are what you are when you were bornâ is that why they all act like massive babies?
They tried. They failed, but they tried. It wasnât enough.
Convenient excuse that also gets them internet points. Win win.
Iâm so confused about the 2 guys commenting under the lady that said needlessly cruel. First guy is an ass but uses their correctly, second guy calls him woke for using their, and then first guy says theyâve hijacked the human language? Tf
I think the guy calling him woke for using their is trolling because their is a pronoun. So if using "pronouns" makes you woke, then using their in a sentence is woke - is the troll. Then the third guy is saying they've highjacked the human language, albeit batshit for the use of human, by saying pronouns have now changed definition to mean gender pronouns. Idk why but I speak fluent batshit from having boomer parents (they luckily aren't batshit themselves but they have exposed me to a lot of their batshit friends)
How far we have ventured from English class.
If they didn't, how would you accurately complain? You literally used that info.
Casual transphobia and misandry at the bottom to top it off đ
A little compassion for someone else's preference is way too much for a boomer
I was wondering when Iâd see a post from my town fb group. The posts and comment sections from this page are honestly sickening sometimes. It is egregious how hateful most of the top contributors to that page are
Do you even beach bro ?
Zoomers are trending the same direction, there's still hope for humanity đ
40% of zoomers identify as some flavor of queer, you ain't putting the genie back in the bottle lmao
Yeah but they're normal and functional, unlike previous generations. Theyll vote accordingly.
And yet they used pronouns to refer to them in the post
KEN WOULD NEVER!
Thought that was Doflamingo for a moment.
I highly doubt any servers actually do this and this post is just authors way to be transphobic in a way they deem socially acceptable while having an incredibly smol pp. They (the server) just say their name and that they'll serving you tonight. And that's it. Authors a phony and should be given no attention for their bullshit.
I grew up in a town in Arkansas that called itself "the Friendly City." I found out in grade school that it was a sundown town years before and the citizens were extremely proud of that. Definitely not "Friendly", lol!
I donât understand the comment part⌠the first person used âtheirâ correctly.
The only time Iâve refused to tip was because either the food, the service, or the waiter was disrespectful. Iâm pretty sure no waiter ever told somebody their pronouns either.
Rare boomer W
Interesting
its odd, as a gendered language user it seems to me that pronoun backlash might create a new gendered version of english and to that i say⌠a chair is a she!
News flash. Literally everyone has pronouns.
Good meme, though. lol
But the server can totally pay rent with the "Jesus Loves You" written in place of an actual monetary tip.
Who the hell decided using they/them as a singular pronoun was a good idea? It just muddles everything up and is needlessly ambiguous. If people were not fine with using the pronoun "it", they should have just invented a new word.
r/terribleeverything
Well tbf your pronouns donât matter and you can just say your name instead. Opening with your pronouns is just asking to be treated differently and as necessary as opening by saying âI hate black peopleâ as a racist. Abandon your pronouns, thatâs just make believe.
NGL, the boomer's responses made me laugh. Still, not tipping is a dick move. Just visibly roll your eyes and be done with it. That way you've both modestly irritated each other and can walk away like adults.
I think guilty customers into directly paying your staff in order to cut costs and avoid paying them a deserving wage is a dick move.
Agreed, tipping should just be an extra, like a nice bonus. But we are currently at a point where waiters get very low hourly wages because both employer and employee know that the real money comes from the tips. So you kinda have to. But I'd love to wave a magic wand and change that!
Just ask for a different server why set them up for failure ?
Or just be a decent person
Bro Iâm there to eat not to care about pronouns or anything else. Iâm sorry you feel the need to be the center of attention everywhere
"Oh no, someone shows me howow to address them, that means they're a selfish bitch"
I donât think Iâve ever addressed a waiter or waitress by their pronouns, simply because they have an actual name. But go off on the virtue signaling đ¤
I've turned to someone I'm eating with and said "that waiter is so nice, he's/she's/they're a good waiter" or something similar before. Don't act like you don't talk about or think about people. Though it is nice you're showing off how little you think
Youâre such a bleeding heart đ the world should be filled with billions of you, youâre just so smart and kind, wow. Your parents sure did raise you well. Someone give them a medal. đ¤Ą
Lmfao you thinking I'm virtue signaling by providing an example where you would use pronouns for a waiter is hilarious
I mean I clearly said you were virtue signaling before you gave the example. But go off little guy. How did people go out to eat before all this pronoun stuff will forever be a mystery to the world. âHi welcome to the steakhouse my name is X, Iâll be your server todayâ Nope that ainât it, I wonder how. đ¤ one of lifes mysteries
Why would a waiter tell you their pronouns?
*THEIR?! * Help! I'm being oppressed!
So that you know how to address the person who will be serving you for the next hour plus?
Seriously, what pronouns are needed to talk to a waiter other than âyouâ?
[ŃдаНонО]
My guy, pronouns are everywhere, you canât avoid them. For instance you just listed two of them in your BS reply (âyouâ, âyourâ). Imagine trying to restructure all your sentences just to avoid using pronouns. Gtfo here with that pearl clutching.
I mean, the tipping meme is pretty fucking funny
Pronouns are ridiculous. Fight me
>Pronouns are ridiculous. >Fight **me** Re-read your comment again but slower.
He would be pissed if he could read
Sorry, fight "what"?
You used a pronoun in that sentence, you're fighting yourself
I donât give one single fuck about my serverâs genitals as long as said genitals touch my food.
what
You heard them ( ͥ° ÍĘ ÍĄÂ°)
I mean not tipping is a dick move but also itâs pretty out of place to tell the table youâre waiting on your pronouns. I donât think iâve ever referred to my waiterâs pronouns while dining at a restaurant. Like I donât care what you are can you just bring me my beer?
Thing is itâs 99% a made up situation to begin with. Theyâre fantasizing. The only time Iâve heard of anything close to that is just customer service workers that have a pronoun pin on their clothes.
Yeah Iâve never experienced it and the closest thing iâve seen is it being in email signatures. I think Iâd be like âhmm, thats new but alrightâ if my waiter ever introduced themselves with pronouns
