Man. I like wraparound sunglasses. They keep the sun out of the corners of my eyes.

My brother-in-law once said to me, rightly, “We gotta find you some sunglasses that make you look less…Republican.”

Conservatives ruin everything.

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 38 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Just get white or pink ones

[–] ajmaxwell@lemmy.world 39 points 2 weeks ago (5 children)

White sunglasses means you're an entirely different type of douchebag.

[–] tdawg@lemmy.world 18 points 2 weeks ago

Ain't my problem if people want to judge my fashion

[–] Mongostein@lemmy.ca 13 points 2 weeks ago

Pink it is, then!

[–] PalmTreeIsBestTree@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

White means you are a tech bro douchebag instead

[–] Saymaz@lemmygrad.ml 5 points 2 weeks ago

Get a rainbow colored one.

I seerbis as an absolute win

Gay sunnies are in now because of the gay president

I'm thinking of getting myself a really unmanly hat, but my head's too big so I can't seem to buy any women's ones.

[–] Smaagi@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

You need a propeller hat!

[–] SalaciousBCrumb@lemy.lol 1 points 2 weeks ago

From the picture, only a few have them.

[–] TommyJohnsFishSpot@lemy.lol 52 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Huge overlaps with the anime community.

B-but she's 3000 years old!

Bro, she looks 8.

[–] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I've never understood the complaints about that. It's not like real children are hurt by those drawings.

[–] TurboToad@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I get your point and one could argue this is a harmless way for people who suffer from this to get their fix.

On the other hand one could argue that this stuff normalizes this type of attraction in our society.

[–] bountygiver@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 weeks ago

If you can't differentiate fiction from reality.

The damage it does is not really that much different from all the violence in media.

[–] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 weeks ago

I don't know how many people get off from drawings. I think that AI-generated child porn might be better?

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Fire Emblem, where you can have a 3000 year old dragon, shaped, and acting like, a 10 year old girl, fuck her obsessed stalker to get all the child characters to contribute in your war.

I put the game down and never finished it...

[–] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have to say, animes and Japanese videogames seem to be obsessed with having most, if not all, characters underaged and sexualised. It is very suspicious of Japanese creators...

[–] Tattorack@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Their biggest market is teenage boys. So they're selling sex to horny teenagers.

[–] krakenfury@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 weeks ago

Frieren looks 15, though.

This is basically the current derangement.

[–] teagrrl@lemmy.ml 25 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Put Megyn R. Kelly's face on there too

[–] lib1@hexbear.net 2 points 2 weeks ago

She’s well represented already

[–] Rachelhazideas@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

First off, fuck pedophiles.

But secondly, becoming 18 doesn't suddenly make one any less vulnerable to exploitation than a 17 year old who is 1 day away from becoming 18.

Just because someone is 18 and 'legal', it doesn't make it not gross for a 40 year old to date them. It's an improvement from dating a 15 year old, but gross regardless.

[–] bort@piefed.world 14 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

I don’t get it. Is this about racism or pedophilia (or both)?

[–] ninjabard@lemmy.world 46 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's about the kind of people who quickly defend being attracted to children as "not pedophilia" because they're technically teens. Same kind of people who know age of consent in various countries.

As funny as the joke is, it is also concerning that knowledge is still being used as a cudgel to judge people over.

We really have to stop normalizing shitting on knowledge.

... Though if they look like in OP, uh... that's using more information than knowing words to judge someone, which is fine.

[–] sleen@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 weeks ago

Sadly, that's what happens when we let conservatives and liberals muddy the waters. Knowledge gets tossed down the drain because some abusers want dignity - and where is the sense in that.

The result of this muddy water is the indoctrination that one thing means several other things that are not remotely true. But, the thing is - these people are more accurately just straight up sex offenders. They are abusers where the victim is anything that moves no matter what age; child, teenager, adult are all victims.

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 7 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Ephebophilia is yearning for 15yo teens: a term to distinguish classes inside the larger class of pedophilia. Don't ask why I know that.

[–] madjo@feddit.nl 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I only know that because of a joke made by Gianmarco Soresi

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago

jReg for me

[–] EtherWhack@lemmy.world 11 points 2 weeks ago

Like saying lime-green isn't green

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I had to search for 'ephebo'. Really regret knowing now and of course, concerned what that looks like to my ISP!

[–] Catalyst_A@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 2 weeks ago

All you told your ISP is that you're not MAGA. Otherwise you never would have tried to learn something.

[–] Mediocre_Bard@lemmy.world 7 points 2 weeks ago

When you're a teenager, other teenagers are hot as fuck. I guess it makes sense that if you never develop as a person beyond that, then you would find teenagers attractive as an older person. Still gross, mind you.

[–] FosterMolasses@leminal.space 6 points 2 weeks ago

So much for LGBT being groomers...

Every accusation a confession.

The right is the party of the groomer and pedophile, don't let them forget.

[–] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

Next week is gonna be fun…🍿

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

I like words to have meaning, so… they're right? But also that's still bad! (Unless you manage to go through your whole life being attracted to minors without ever acting on it, I guess. In which case, good for you. Sucks you got dealt that shitty hand but well done doing the best despite it.)
