    Pointlessly gendered?

    Everyone loves candles. Some guys are just pointlessly insecure about candles being a “girl thing”. I’ve also known girls that love the smell of gasoline. People be what they are regardless of their lower bits.

      Yes, from personal experience I have known a gendered reversed version of this, only.

        A meme, like any piece of text, is not above or below criticism. This one unnecessarily perpetuates old fashioned and ridiculous stereotypes of gender roles. Hence the critcism.

          Yes, I definitely care about all the autistic screeching about genders on a fucking meme channel

            Apparently you do, because you can’t stop making childish, derisive comments in lame 4chan lingo against any kind of criticism.

            Oh no, people here aren’t forced to like you even though you’re acting like a childish asshole. Playing the world’s smallest violin right now. Free speech goes both ways you ham freebaser.

    Too bad the tanks and the pump’s trunks make a tight seal nowadays, so gas stations don’t smell like they used to 😞.

    For all the people in the comments bitching about gender: What’s it like to be ruled by woke outrage? It’s just a fucking meme. You don’t have to twist everything to be against you.

      The only one here who seems to be outraged is you, unable to take a bit of constructive criticism for a bad and unfunny meme with a shitty title, and instead buying into that “wokeness” scapegoating propaganda bullshit.

      “All the people” being one person who the community seemed fairly split on their agreement of. It is somewhat laughable that you call others out for outrage yet feel the need to get up in arms yourself about a single response.

      You don’t have to twist everything to be against you.

      It’d be ironic if it wasn’t so sad. Read rule 1 and try harder next time.

        There’s plenty of comments about it. If I had known it was such a sensitive topic I wouldn’t have posted it, but it’s already out there. It’ll be okay. I believe everyone has a right to any gender title they want, I wasn’t intending to push any stereotypes with this meme. People just want to be outraged I guess.

          While I agree with the sentiment that it’s a meme community and sometimes that means not being correct about everything all the time, you made it personal when you specifically targeted groups of people in the comments that have nothing to do with the meme. It’s not outrage, it’s a response to ignorance.
