I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.
For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.
For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!
Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

You know, I think if I was in this situation I would just wear the shirt inside out
I honestly didn’t think about that. But I also didn’t think it was that big of a deal either.
It’s not a big deal. It’s silly and hilarious. Own it 😁
I hate this “culture” (?) of recording/photographing strangers and posting them online, but on the other hand this is sooo funny. I’m sorry it happened to you lmao.
It’s absolutely invasive and (almost always, even though people think they could remedy this with a simple sign) against the law in Europe.
Sick shirt. Welcome to Lemmy! Great place to talk about political stuff! And also never ever see anything but politics god I’m so tired of seeing trumps face…
Anyway, welcome to the fediverse, did I mention I use linux?
beans arch unix socks corn 3 days cant shit
3 days can’t shit is a deep cut. I wonder how many on Lemmy even remember that.
Edit: also read that in the fairly odd parents intro song
3 days can’t shit was like RIGHT after the API exodus and was an incredible thing to experience right away
Did you get approached by any big tiddy goth girls?
They swarmed me.
After a few weeks it got so out of hand that you actually had to change shirts!
Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
So… you sound like a nice dude, so just so you know, there are people in the goth subculture that do not appreciate that joke (and its translations). For different reasons, but the majority find it fetishizing and sexist. I opened saying you look like a nice dude because I don’t think that’s your intention, or the intention of most here commenting, but that’s how many goth people feel and… well, in case you really want to meet goth people, that might be actually causing the opposite effect (that is, your shirt driving them off).
It’s crazy how rare it is to see someone reading a book while waiting nowadays. Good on you.
Trending on reddit, comes on Lemmy to talk about it. I love it!
How about that lady sleeping in front of you though?
So originally she was right next to me at a charging station that faced the wall. I sat next to her because I was waiting for her to get up and leave so i could sit and face the wall and charge my phone AND be more comfortable reading my book. She kinda put her head down on the table and started snoring so loudly, it was hilarious. I looked around a bit at a few people next to me and we were all kinda laughing at it. She eventually got up and sat down somewhere else and I didn’t notice because I was too into my book at the time I guess.
what were you reading tho
Clockwork prince by Cassandra Clare. I found the three book series at a thrift store and got though the first book on the cruise and was working on the second.
Was it a good book series? Worth reading?
If you like fantasy, romance and a bit of mystery. It wasn’t anything amazing but I found it for a few bucks at a thrift store and it’s held my attention so far. Apparently there are a ton of books in the series.
I’ll have what she’s having
A nap?
Hell yeah
this is art lol
Why in the hell does this remind me of “oof size: large”
doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (50 dollars a load)
Jesus fuck. What company did you cruise with? I’ve worked fot NCL and have been on a Princess cruise; both offered laundry services free.
It was virgin voyages. I just looked it up and it was actually 30, but still.
Hell, I’m annoyed that my apartment’s laundry service is like video game MTX where you need credits for the machine. The machines are like 2 and a half bucks each, but you can only buy a minimum of $10 worth of credits which gets me 2 loads, and then leaves some credits left over that I can’t use or get refunded.
Bro I feel you. The apartment i live in right now does that too. Its 2.50 to wash and 2.50 to dry. I can’t wait to move.
LPT. When being forced to wear shirts with questionable graphics, turn them inside out.
Not 100% guaranteed but better than ending up on Reddit.
Or just don’t give a fuck.
Story time: I had to give a presentation on a group project at university. I was wearing a shirt with a fist silhouette on it, which you could have mistaken as a symbol of a political movement, had there not been the text “nothing says I love you quite like fisting”. Over lunch I had to go home, ~6km, on a bicycle, in the summer, on short notice, because of the plumber being in the house. So I was sweating like fuck and changed shirts. For some reason our team got summoned up to the front again later and my shirt read “I have 5 stars on youporn” with five stars over it. This was in front of 5 professors, ~10 post docs and university employees and ~80 students. On my way out from the cafeteria I greeted the hot blonde from engineering, who looked like she could be an adult content actress, and she laughed the cutest snort-laugh in a shockingly deep voice I’ve ever heard. Most of the profs “loved” me by the way; three of them competed over getting me into their projects and supervising my master thesis.

Not the complement you think it is.
It wasn’t really meant as a compliment. She usually looked like she was coming straight from the set of a porn movie. But I think, like me, she wasn’t giving a fuck either. She was good at what she did and the right hand of the head of the engineering faculty. Don’t judge a book by its cover, I guess?
So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.
There’s no expectation of privacy in public places.
There’s no expectation of fairness in DMCA requests.

Why do dudes that fetishize “”“goth”“” girls all look exactly like you would expect them to.
And why do so many goth girls go head over heels for dudes that look like that
I mean none of the alternative people I know are into being fetishized like that. In fact they absolutely hate it.
Having a preference isn’t automatically fetishizing people and there’s a world of difference between the two. I have a preference for big boobs but I didn’t even consider pursuing my now ex until i overheard her having a heart to heart with a troubled friend I was very close too.
Yes I agree, but the whole “big toddy goth GF” meme is 100% fetishization
So we’re not allowed to be attracted to large breasted goth women? Are they condemned to live lonely lives since no ones allowed to be into them?
Bro stop being obtuse. Just have some common decency for fuck sake and Stop fetishizing people.
If going for well read people with a sense of ethics that I can easily converse with is fetishizing people then it’s alot more positive term than you make it sound. Maybe more people should fetishize each other.
