Is someone holding these poor souls hostage and forcing them to be together?

Rules:

  1. Post examples of toxic heteronormativity only.
  2. Be nice and respectful.

You can tell by all the consummate v's.

That’s a great name for a baby.

That's a trageighck perspective.

That just looks like Welsh.

Gotta remove a couple more vowels first.

With a name like that I bet she’s a real bytch.

So which is the crime, the idea of these horrible “trinkets” or the names they put on them?

[–] Instigate@aussie.zone 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Nah I have some cool glow in the dark sperm shaped keychains that are merch for a fertility lab. Not a crime.

Reminding people you didn't pull out though is the crime.

Listen, as a straight, I get it were weirdos. But we're not all like this....

[–] DeceasedPassenger@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is beyond normal straight. This is like, Mormon straight. That type of name can be found all over Idaho.

That was my thought - this is white Mormon über-straight.

If you're just expressing your strong need to disaffiliate with whatever is happening in that picture, you're fine. But yeah, the community is about those cases where people forcing themselves into monogamous, life-long relationships goes wrong.

And unfortunately, this is so common, that you can buy """humorous""" products like in the post, and that the community name just summarizes it as "the straights"...

I was just making a joke

Baby shower gifts are always funny. Here’s a dozen baby outfits, 4 tons of diapers, and a hairpin that could get you lynched

Inventing new, terrible names to impose on defenseless babies is what we're up to, and we're fucking great at it.

Brynlee? Brynlee?? What is she a brand of muesli or something? What kind of a name is that to give somebody

[–] hzl@piefed.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 day ago

Heyyy, it's Matt! We love Matt!

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago

Those names have to be a pisstake, surely?
