Ma'am, do you enjoy the particularities of the Pokemon anime (Japanese animation)?
100% someone from berserklejerk taking the piss, there is no way this person is for real
I think they're doing a funny and actually mocking m'lady redditors.
probably, but it's still really uncomfortable to be on the receiving end of
That's true, didn't really think about it but the person behind it is probably a reactionary still being weird toward women.
I think it's too over-the-top to be a parody. M'lady is always a suspicious word but it's also that way because this exact kind of goober posts on this exact website.
The over-the-topness of it is what makes me believe it's parody, lol
I think it’s too over-the-top to be a parody.
That's not how parodies relate to their object of ridicule. They are by nature exaggerations and therefore more over-the-top than whatever the reality is.
Girl: Hey let me share in my interests on a hobby forum with like-minded people
Cis dudes: A FEEEEMALE?!?!QUICK, MEN! WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE SHE'S SINGLED OUT AND MADE TO FEEL AWKWARD.
FEEEEEEEEEEMALE SPOTTED. GENERAL QUARTERS, GENERAL QUARTERS, ALL STICKY HANDS PROCEED TO BATTLE STATIONS.
Because he's competition for this dashing bird's affections. I don't want her seeing that when she could see my comment and fall in love with me instead.
there's a certain type of guy who is uncomfortable around women but knows that being a creepy weirdo is bad, so he makes a "joke" about being a creepy weirdo, which is indistinguishable from the actual creepy behavior he's badly attempting to parody. when he could just like, be fucking normal and treat her like a regular person
yeah I've known guys whose entire sense of humor is this, and the irony is always just a thin veil for their true thoughts and beliefs that they are too embarrassed to state outright
It's so unfortunate. I want to see if they're a real goober but googling doesn't even return an archive of their account activity, just people referencing this specific screenshot.
i think "redditors assemble" should let everyone know that this is a joke
That's also just how redditors unironically spoke when I joined the site. This would be a totally normal comment in like 2010.
true to redditor form, they are on the irony train about 7 years too late. all those okbuddy subs and shit have completely infested the site's culture and they are basically just doing "weird twitter" bits now
THANK you for calling it a Trilby.
Still, the poor fedora will likely never recover. :(
you know male fiddler crabs have a small claw but their baiting claw is HUGE
