The drink is noted for it's use of autumnal flavours with its comprehensive use of spices associated with the season (cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove) and the American seasonal winter squash, pumpkin 🎃, to give a very of the season flavoural combination, oft topped with whipped cream. While the most popular rendition of the drink, in being a latte, uses boiled cows milk :kombucha-disgust: , a good vegan :im-vegan: alternative for the milk would be oat milk, as it is much sweeter naturally than most other plant based milks and fits with such a sweet toothed drink, as well as being slightly thicker which quite suits the nature of the drink.
In popular culture the pumpkin spiced latte is most commonly associated with the American coffee chain, Starbucks, who developed the drink in 2003, although it has become quite the staple of autumnal and early winter warm drinks :comfy: , along side coco and other coffees, for many. As the drink is only seasonally offered by the coffee chain, many have tried to devise their own renditions of the drink to have when they wish, which has also spurred on development of the flavours and spices in the drink as individuals try to put their own spin on the drink.
The popular conception of the Pumpkin Spiced Latte, PSL :PSL: , is that those who consume it are women without a developed taste or understanding of coffee, and merely following pop cultural and branding trends. Much has been written in the sphere of pop feminism about how this conception and caricature is an infantilisation of women, and a thinly veiled attempt to hide their misogyny. Surprisingly, this rather blasé and banal take has been known to activate the 'mouth frothing' region of some men's brains when being asked to consider their internalised opinions. :frothingfash: (Artists Rendition)

I wrote that entire thing about PSL off the top of my head, no copy paste megas here :lets-fucking-go: also some fucking losers want you to remember they died today? get fucked :big-cool:
I genuinely can't get over some closet chud went full actual psycho nazi posting, yes nazi posting, because of pumpkin spice latte
like, I'd seen Twitter post on here loads, and then they literally replied 'sieg heil' yesterday to GrownBravy when they called them fash. some men will literally rather be a nazi than do a tiny drop of internal critique over a bland pop feminist take
Feminism is like SCP memetic hazard to shitty men, but instead of instantly killing them upon viewing it just made them shit their pants.
:what-the-hell:
Wait the nazi wrecker was @twitter? I’m now even more confused.
:jesus-christ:
they kicked off in a thread about how shitting on women for PSLs is bad, and then the wrecking started immediately after
Well that’s suspicious.
:soviet-hmm:
Shit I didn’t mean to tag them.
Makes you wonder how many closet chuds there are :brow:
a lot of people want socialism for themselves, and none of the cultural aspects of transformation
I was meant to have everything and yet I have nothing, and it's women what done it
:le-pol-face: “Other people having things means I get less.”
I’m sure there’s a couple that have just learned to shut the fuck up around here so they don’t get banned. Any luck and they’ll wind up cleaning out their brainworms through osmosis.
Some people get really mad over the silliest things, im surprised they werent site banned
Because I'm a masohist....
context?
I still don’t understand the details, but it also involves the flintstones.
@Edelgard made a thread about an article that talks about how men put women down for their food choices, namely pumpkin spice. @twitter got mad about it on an alt and started slinging around accusations that women can't handle criticism and that socialists love starbucks. They got banned on that alt and proceeded to continue being mad and lashing out at women and LGBTQ people on different alts named after the flintstones. Why the flintstones I have no clue.
Hold the fuck up, this happened here? That's disturbing if hogs know about this place.
I just want a leftist community, man. Hogs have millions to choose from and some of them are mainstream. Why can't we just have one?
Hogs will always go after any space that has people in it that aren’t like them. They’re bigots lol
Rent-free, I guess.
I don't waste my time stormfront hate-reading articles, but they seem to love hate-reading our shit.
I found a dedicated channel on a leftist discord server once that was just people complaining about this site. They’d post screenshots of wreckers and then circle jerk about how everyone here believed it. I left the server.
:homer-bye:
Yup, that’s the tea.
