It's weaponized misinformation to divide people so they don't go after the oligarchy. It's literally what this is.

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Yes. This meme is exactly what this is. Uh huh.

Have fun with that.

[–] tomiant@piefed.social 0 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

You're right, shitmemes based on DailyMail content is the high level academic stuff you're reaching for.

Bye bye now

That’s another way of admitting you’re gay, I guess.

I'm gonna come right out and say it:

A beard with no moustache looks weird.

[–] drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Looks fine on this guy.

[–] ronl2k@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

A beard with no moustache looks weird.

Agreed. It looks like the man's face has been shortened.

What a weird thing to confess. And in public, no less.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 32 points 4 days ago

He probably didn't even realize he was confessing.

[–] Multiplexer@discuss.tchncs.de 154 points 4 days ago (6 children)

Does that conversely also mean that a woman with a beard does not need to wear a hijab?

[–] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 33 points 4 days ago

Inquiring minds want to know.

Yeah, you're gay mate. You just aren't into bears...

[–] Stamets@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thought you were talking about me for a second and I was about to say "No... no I'm very much into bears. Or rather I prefer when bears are in me."

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (2 children)

To hang out with the two wolves?

It’s super weird how they care so much about this shit. It’s like they made an HOA into a religion.

[–] Bennyboybumberchums@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This seems like the first step in a multi step defence for when the contents of his computer are made known to the public. I mean, if the only thing stopping you from being fuckable to this guy is a beard.... YIKES!!!!!

"You're the problem for making me horny" is giving Count Frollo energy.

Work on yourself, find a twink who loves you back, and leave the rest of the world alone.

Transitioning most places
> shave
> makeup
> new wardrobe
> voice training
> hormones
> laser
> surgery
> therapy for all the times you get clocked regardless

Transitioning in Turkey
> shave
> congratulations, enjoy passing

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The fact that Turkish language doesn't have gendered pronouns makes this even funnier.

[–] bampop@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Y'all making fun of this guy, but the fact is I've encountered several guys who turned out to be gay. And I don't have a beard.

Coincidence?

Man, that shit made me gay.

[–] meco03211@lemmy.world 22 points 4 days ago

I mean, I'd let Pedro Pascal turn me gay. No homo.

Just another example of how the most anti-gay people must be in the closet because anyone who isn't should immediately know from their own experience that being tempted by other men says more about the one being tempted than the one "tempting" by just being there.

So these people that hear this shit don't think anything unusual about it, which implies to me that they can relate to feeling tempted and are thus in the closet themselves.

Of course, they (the followers) might just not be using any critical thought, which is why I'm going to keep saying it and do the critical thinking for them. If you hate gays that much, why do you follow people that are so obviously gay (or bi) but in denial?

Or if being gay is a choice, why don't more people who don't have a problem with it make that choice?

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 37 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

If it's causing you "indecent thoughts" it's because you're gay and like clean-shaven guys, my man. I guess gay guys who like bearded men are allowed all the eye candy they want there as long as they don't touch.

[–] dubyakay@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This needs a follow up panel of Turkish dude and French dude making out and blushing.

[–] Jankatarch@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Best I can do is lube up two buff men with olive oil and have them wrestle half-naked while other middle-aged men watch on the side.

Sometimes, that's what it takes.

[–] DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world 40 points 4 days ago (12 children)

I don't know if this is disingenuous "reasoning" or, an honest position.

Ever since I came to understand that Flat Earthers weren't just trolls, like the way Birds Aren't Real folks ARE trolls, I've had trouble sussing out what's real and what's just bullshit "reasoning" to support bullshit ideals. I get now that I was just naive as to how incredibly stupid and evil people can be.

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 56 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Flat earthers actually started as a troll, but people are really fucking stupid.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago

Society obviously has a range of critical thinking capability. It used to be that every village had its idiot and the village knew who that was, and thus who to promptly ignore. The problem with the internet, is that all the village idiots found each other and started to form their own villages online. Along the way those that weren't quite as dumb saw the groups they formed and thought, "Gee, that many people surely can't be wrong", and the groups got larger and larger until they were big enough to actually cause harm.

Sometimes, the seed of that stupidity were jokes and trolls. Flat Earth Theory was one of those seeds. Trump's political career was kickstarted by 4Chan taking advantage of the same online landscape and legacy media's inability to stay away from a constantly expanding train wreck that generates infinite ad revenue.

As a lesbian I can say with certainty that men without beards don't look like women.

[–] Magnum@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 4 days ago

Thank you, as a hetero sexual man I got so confused I almost turned gay. But you saved me.

I was listening to a podcast the other day and it was saying that in some culture, I forget which, "a man" was defined as "wears a mustache and has a big hat" - because why wouldnt you have those if you could?

Funny how culture thinks it's the first and last word of a definition

So anyway, this guy has a beard and hat but no mustache, therefore not a man.

He must be a fan of the popular Australian band 'The Beards' and their popular ditty: "If your dad doesn't have a beard then you've got two mums" and other excellent beard related songs.

Old mate probably just got lost in translation.

[–] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 20 points 4 days ago

It's okay, just say "no homo" after thinking the thoughts and ur good.

[–] comeonitsnotlike@feddit.nu 20 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Religion is the worst idea, ever.
