Please stop making fun of people for being Virgins. It's tough because I'm a leftist, I love this sub, and I work hard to be a good person and practice good praxis, but I'm also 28 and a virgin. Watching Y'all make fun of people for being virgins or calling people virgins really hurts.
Posting here on an alt because my normal username can be linked to me in real life, but I post here daily. Most of you have probably upvoted my posts at one point or another. But yeah, I'm old, and I'm a virgin, and while it doesn't bother me much anymore, it's really bad praxis to call people virgins as an insult or to make fun of them for being virgins. Incels are bad not because they are virgins but because they just blame women for their cause. Make fun of them for their shitty beliefs, not because they are virgins.
I think for a lot of us we still hold on to the capitalist idea of success that has been handed to us. That we need to have money and a job and a partner and kids and all that to be seen as good. And that's not possible for a lot of us. I know that's not possible for me I've been unemployed for years at this point. So we make fun of them for believing in the system but still not having it. I think it's right when people point out here that the things a lot of the alt-right are mad about are rightful things to be mad about. It's just that they then blame them on the (((globalists))) and muslims and immigrants and SJWs when really it's capitalism and actual rich people.
But seriously, that's all I have to say. Please think before using virgin as an insult. It's just a state of being, that of having not had sex, and every single one of you were a virgin at some point in time. Thanks for reading. I love all y'all anyway.
Here's my real hot take of the day: Every time you mock someone for being a virgin, you engage in rape culture. Discuss.
The amount of people who had sex not because they wanted it but because it would remove the 'virgin' label must be quite a lot.
If you aren't asexual you're sexuality is deeply rooted in pedophilia and that is problematic 1/245
First we got a day, now we got a week, soon we will avenge the Western Roman Empire, by conquering the goths and taking the entire month of October for ourselves, banning Halloween in the process
Unironically this is an incredibly big pet peeve of mine that has frustrated me ever since my mom told me it was called "octopus" because it had 8 legs when I was 6.
It's Julius and Augustus Caesars fault. They wanted their own months but weren't willing to take some bitchass shitty winter months
Theory: the Goths were mad at the Romans because they fucked up the name of their favorite month of the year
It's mainly making fun of the phenomena on Twitter about "being attracted to Himbos is pedophilia"/"dating someone a year younger than you is pedophilia"/etc. This is the logical endpoint of those garbage takes
I don't know if those people are TERFs or not but their views of endangering children are somehow even dumber
I think I know what you're getting at, but I wouldn't mind hearing more.
Basically it tells men that they are losers if they don't have sex. In their urge to fulfill a societal standard, they choose to rape. This is a subject that I don't feel qualified to talk about in depth, and I really only have some rough ideas. I would love to see some comrades expand it further.
yeah i know right? i came here to mock op btu now? nah man i cant touch this anymore.
Lol people who don’t have sex
Unlike me who has lots of the sex, so much the sex
Yep, I sure do love rubbing my genitals against a sexy ladies (looks at smudged writing on hand) Verguba?
if you’re using virgin as a proxy for some bad traits
If you are a virgin then that implies to people that no one likes you enough to want to have sex with you. Its 100% a self worth by others judgement thing.
Being a virgin isn't a disability, but it's not much effort to be a kind person to them.
Gritty is that dude who’s dating your ex-girlfriend who you hate so you get drunk and decide to vandalize his car because you know you can’t really compete with him in any category. Then when you pull up he’s in the front yard teaching your ex’s nephew how to throw a spiral and this kinda hurts because the kid never even talked to you at family functions so you lose your nerve and go to walk away but Gritty sees you and sees the pillowcase full of spray paint cans you brought with you to spray paint “gay” on his Dodge Charger and he’s like “Dan?” (Because you’re The Baseball Crank in this scenario)
And you’re like “Oh hey Gritty... I was just.... I had to... I was gonna paint a...wall....nearby.”
And he starts to put it together in his head what’s happening so he tells your girls nephew to go inside and do 20 push-ups to get his throwing arm big and strong and then he high fives the kid and the kid runs inside without even saying hi to you.
So you’re like “What’s up man?”
And he walks up and shakes your hand and pulls you in for a bro-hug and then looks you in the eyes and sincerely asks you how you’re doing.
It takes you a few seconds to answer becasue nobody has asked you that since the break-up. Your friends haven’t even asked you that. You try to give a fake platonic answer and for some reason you get this lump in your throat. You can’t force any words out and before you know it you’re crying for the first time in years and Gritty brings you in for another hug and locks it in, holding you close while you sob uncontrollably.
“I was gonna spray paint ‘gay’ on your car because... I hate you so bad for taking her from me.... but I’ll never hate you.... as much.... as I hate myself”
When you say that last part the waterworks really kick in. You’re a mess, you’re weeping into Gritty's chest because he’s like 7 inches taller than you and he just keeps patting your back and saying “You gotta love Dan, man. Dan has to love Dan.”
He’s even crying a little too because he’s a genuinely good person and this is a sincerely emotional moment.
He stands there for as long as you need him to and after a few minutes you feel better. You end the embrace and take a step back. You look him in the eye and tell him thank you. And then you ask him to take good care of her and he says he will. Then he tells you to take good care of yourself. Y’all hug one more time and you walk away sheepishly with your pillowcase full of spray paint cans.
Gritty watches you leave and then goes back inside and your ex is like “who was that?” and he says “Nobody” and then blows her back out twice before falling asleep watching your Hulu account.
credit to /u/omgforealz on the old sub, it's a Gritty mod on an existing pasta
not 100% sure, but I think Beto O'Rourke

Kinda sad to see this is a copypasta, it's a good point, much love for our asexual comrades and folks that just don't wanna bone
Hey it’s a struggle sesh with good copy pastas and mostly everyone agrees. I like these ones.
I just rewatched Hocus Pocus for the first time in a decade or two... man I did not remember how ruthlessly this children's movie made fun of a 15 year old boy for being a virgin. Even his 9 year old sister slams him. In the last frame of the shot during an emotional reunion between characters, the ghost literally ascending to heaven digs him for being a virgin.
Zoroastrian Persians literally didn't even have the concept of virginity, this shit is stupid.
ok i get yoru point that virginity is a cultural thing but why you gotta talk about the persians who did a good deal of pederasty and incest marrying
Closing the sub for a joke wasn't OK.
I totally realize most people are going to disagree with me here but I feel compelled to say that closing the sub for a joke wasn't a very kind thing to do. We have seen TONS of posts from vulnerable populations talking about how this sub is a source of support and humor in a dark time. Irony and dirtbagism aside, taking away that support without warning was not okay.
You can say I'm being silly, or humorless or reactionary. Whatever. I love the show and I love this community. But sometimes I come home after dealing with ableism and our nightmare reality all day, and this sub is one of many things that make me feel better. It wasn't a good feeling to find this sub closed for the sake of irony. Maybe that's laughable or pathetic. But for me, it's true.
Ngl I couldn’t breathe for like 3 seconds when I saw the sub shut down for good.
I knew it was coming, so I was already fully prepared to log in and see it was gone for good. I was expecting it to be gone sooner tbh. I didn't think the admins would let the sub grow as much as it did.
I woke up from a nap, it had been banned for 2 minutes, and I just laughed my ass off for like half an hour
i was trying to refresh the comments on a thread about the gun coupls cos i wanted to know more about them. and on that faithfull may afternoon, at 19 o clock, r/cth drew its final breath spitting at america. o7777 i knew it was coming, i couldnt believe it.
@VolcelPolice please thank this dedicated upholder of volcel thought
ngl I feel like that episode validates all of my worst thoughts about myself
