Exactly. I for one hate this drawing. Bring back old Chad guy. He was much funnier.

Note the distinct lack of being a 4chan Aryan dogwhistle.

Anytime this template is used I immediately assume the poster knows very little about women.

It's a good template when used with enough irony/self-awareness. Doesn't happen very frequently, though.

finally a decent use of this dumbass meme format.

I hate how the majority of the time this is used, it can be summed up with "girls boring, boys fun haha".
Thought we left that sorta thinking behind in elementary school?
Anyway, fuck gender stereotypes, we're all just humans trying to wing it.

Most people who make these memes have never felt the touch of a woman anyways. No wonder they have no idea what women are like

This just feels mean spirited

I would say that, to be fair, the original meme is based upon somewhat toxic gender stereotypes. It basically boils down to:

"Girls are emotional about fictional things and boys are outwardly stoic but internally emotional about nerdy shit. Lol."

Usually done by basement dwellers and incels based on mental gymnastic session they just experienced.

[–] Laticauda@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

"to be fair" is usually used to justify or defend something. That just sounds like another reason why this meme format is shit unless it's purposefully used to deconstruct itself, commiserate between genders over something, or play with expectations without belittling either gender.
