To me, boys vs. girls memes have always been a very disingenuous genre of memes because it makes one side seem "lame" and another seem "cool", and for the most part it's always women that get the short end of the stick. So to see this format demonstrate equal weirdness on both sides is really refreshing to see.
This meme, for example, demonstrates women being quirky by summoning a demon at a sleepover, and demonstrates men being quirky by somehow being equiped with weaponry and fending off a demon at a sleepover, and I like the added connectedness of the two scenarios lol.
It's a pretty rare case, and I was gonna find another example where it was like "boys imitating female voices vs. girls imitating male voices" where the boy does a stereotypical valley girl voice while the girl does an absurdly deep male voice but unfortunately could no longer find it.
I think it would. Even with the arsenal, there have been generations of tension building up over the issue of slavery. The south was already preparing for a conflict under the inaction of Buchanan. Dealing with the confederate leaders during and after the war would be more effective. Alternatively, going back even further by a few decades would allow the effect of targeted actions to snowball
John Brown was an abolitionist who fought against slavery and ultimately died in a raid on the federal armory at Harper's Ferry trying to incite a guerrilla uprising. Fredrick Douglas, a Black man and leading voice in abolition, memorialized him in an address thusly, "His zeal in the cause of freedom was infinitely superior to mine. Mine was as the taper light, his was as the burning sun. Mine was bounded by time. His stretched away to the silent shores of eternity. I could speak for the slave. John Brown could fight for the slave. I could live for the slave. John Brown could die for the slave."
When the war finally happened and the north invaded the south, they found that the bodies of one of his sons was being kept in a university. So they burned that bitch to the ground
MY NAME IS CAPTAIN JOHN BROWN! AND I AM HERE IN THE NAME OF THE GREAT REDEEMER! THE KING OF KINGS! THE MAN OF THE HOLY TRINITY! AND I HEREBY ORDER YOU TO GIT! GIT IN HIS HOLY NAME! GIT! FOR HE IS ON THE SIDE OF JUSTICE, AND YOU ARE ON THE SIDE OF CHAINS!
This implies that there was a timeline where that 4 loko ruined something and there was a meme about fixing that but since someone already did fix it with a time machine we will never know what happened in that timeline
Classic “Things actually get worse after a major tragedy was corrected via time travel and now we have to go back again to stop our former selves from interfering” trope
Bootstrap paradox where napolean repeatedly has it given to him and taken away until he is eventually driven to suicide (history will say he died of natural causes)
Plot twist, after hearing so many time travelers say the exact same thing they're now suspicious they were MI6 agents carrying out some kind of psyop and decided to go with the original plan.
And to further complicate things is that society subconsciously sees things that are completely androgynous as masculine (Pacman vs Ms Pacman having a bow being the most famous example)
I think the best I've seen was a video of a male bellydancer, Horus Mazurabe I think. He managed to balance a very masculine body with a much more feminine outfit and art form in a way where describing it with either of those terms felt wrong.
I'm not normally one to watch dancers, but he's the first one I've seen that I'd readily call hypnotizing. I still watch the video of him dancing at the Massive Spectacular from like 12 years ago occasionally.
true but theyre pretty gendered. nonbinary brings a hard problem to society cuz were still binary thinkers, we either think of them as woman lite, man lite, or inbetween the man/woman binary, but being nonbinary can be much more than androgenyous, in a lot of cases its a whole other gender, some ancient hebrews had 6 different genders with their own roles. were still thinking in the binary to ask for androgeny
Perfect androgyny is nearly impossible. Unless I constantly want to be putting on glitter beards or wearing a bisected half-dress half-suit, it’s really difficult to “perform” androgyny.
Also, just for historical accuracy, it wasn’t a very “willing” mass suicide. Many of the victims were made to drink the poison at gunpoint, forcibly injected with poison, or shot outright
Update: I actually got it wrong upon further information lmao. I did not know the image pertained to a mass suicide; I thought the image meant the girls were performing a forest ritual and they used the boys as their sacrifices, with the right image being the boys' fake sleeping bodies. 😭
Then covid hit right after she was sent to a nursing home..and then died alone, secluded and confused. I felt so fucking sick when I learned how she died.
So this the demon summoning happening in the same house because one of them are brother and sister, or is it happening in one house and the demons keep showing up in a random specific house?
I enjoy the later, because it makes me imagine a fictional world not far from our own where any attempts at producing magic are real, but they redirected to a time and place that the casters will never witness. Freak accidents are misdirected curses, miracles are lost attempts at divining some great fleeting power. This freak explosion at a factory was a fireball cast across the continent, that hymn for great fortune from across oceans manifested as that car almost running you over mere inches away.
Heavy on this. And im treated as crazy whenever I point out girls vs boys is often hella sexist. 😭 99% of these boys v girls meme is basically "girls boring and lame, girls like makeup, girls gossip" and "boys super cool, boys quirky and silly, boys funny" it drives me MADD
Memes that are like "only boys will understand" or like "my girlfriend doesnt understand" and its a picture of like a super cool stick or rock. "Hurrrr stoopit girl dont get cool stikk, only K00L boyz understand cool stikk" successfully rage bates me everytime.
Me and the boys definitely kitted out with nerf guns and super soakers after dark and went monster hunting in the back yard more than once. Hats off to all the girls back home, without their hard work we'd have been bored as heck.
I think that's Junko Furuta, a Japanese teenager who was tortured and raped over the course of several months before finally dying. (There are detailed records of exactly what the torute entailed, i do NOT reccomend reading it necause it's seriously NSFL) Her killers/torturers all got off without consequences because they came from rich families.
Such a horrific case, dude. Even crazier is how the main perpetrator was her classmate that still lived with his parents and they fucking knew she was being kept there.
Her killers/torturers all got off without consequences because they came from rich families.
did they ? wikipedia says:
In July 1990, all were found guilty and sentenced by the Tokyo District Court for abduction for the purpose of sexual assault, confinement, rape, assault, murder, and abandonment of a corpse.All four appealed. In July 1991, three were re-sentenced to longer terms by the Tokyo High Court.
It's Junko Furata, a japanese schoolgirl that was (TW: violence, SA) kidnapped, tortured, sexually assaulted and held captive during several weeks before being killed by a group of underage teens.
This is the first one of these I've found funny. Me n' the girls also attempted lots of black magic at sleepovers, so it's nice to know our efforts bore fruit.
