y'all support ending cringe culture until there’s someone who’s just a lil too odd/doesn’t do things within social norms, y'all want cringe culture dead for things you like but in reality the moment someone does something funky/enthusiastically y'all are so eager to beat them down for uhhh *checks list* displaying autistic trait #312
cringe culture isn’t dead until you motherfuckers stop going ‘its cool to bully some people, actually’
Hey, that girl you made fun of for dressing like an emo, her dad dresses up like a pharmacist, makes useless machines and gets beat up by a platypus in a fedora. Yeah, it’s not always how it seems, so think before you act.
Never worship anyone online to the point you blindly defend and believe anything they do and say. Whether it be authors, “influencers”, idols, whoever the fuck. Think critically and have some self respect.
Gender reveal parties, and big planned reveals, literally were not a thing ten, fifteen years ago. Don’t let anyone pull that “it’s a tradition!” crap on you, youngsters. They’re LYING. People would either get the ultrasound or not to find out about the genitals, and tell people or not. That was that.
The fuss over “revealing” a baby’s gender in utero stinks of pushback against the shift toward a more nuanced understanding of gender. I mean yeah part of it is social media, and trends catching on, but don’t think for a minute this isn’t part of some regressive attitudes creeping into the mainstream with a cute (blue or pink) bow on it.
Even the woman who helped popularize gender reveal parties is like…slow your roll, fam.
She only had a gender reveal party because it was her first pregnancy that made it to a gender pregnancy scan. All her others had been miscarriages. She was only celebrating a pregnancy milestone!
that…..is a super valid reason for a party.
Wow, i did not expect that to be the reason this all started. Im so happy for her.
