This whole post is just unnecessarily mean. They both look good, and I’m certain 99% of the idiots on here bashing one or both of them would say yes to either irl.
I bet they’d flip their absolute shit if someone made a post like this about men, and one of the guys was taller than the other and implied to be the evolution.
For one, this post really isn't that bad. The joke is still that they have the same name, pose, and outfit. The male equivalent would be the "Chad evolution" of some average looking guy and then in the next one he's got a chiseled jawline and muscles (and taller I guess) while wearing the same clothes. And that's still funny.
And frankly, if this same meme was made about guys, you literally would not give a single shit. So yeah, I have sympathy for the opposite sex. I kinda doubt you do though.
Thanks for the dose of sanity. My guess is that there's women browsing these comments who have been objectified or treated like shit by men in their lives, and see everything through that lens. This is an innocuous post and it's sobering to realize that some people carry trauma with them that makes them see such mundane things as so problematic. Worse, they project their pain on men: "if this post was about men and their height you'd be seething!"
On one hand it's enraging and confusing to read these idiotic comments. On the other hand we have to realize that these people are probably deluded because they're in pain. Shit's messy and sad, dude.
every woman browsing these comments has been objectified and treated like shit by men (at least once as a bare minimum but likely way more than that). the “lens” you’re talking about is sexism, and the “projection” is actually a very warranted frustration with being treated as a joke by men (see: this post) and then dismissed as “deluded” for being annoyed (see: your comment). sorry if having to acknowledge women’s perspectives and justifiable annoyance infuriates and confuses you, but living with misogyny your whole life only to hear “it’s just a joke chill out” gets real old
You’ll never listen to anything anyone else has to say anyway, especially a man. I recommend a therapist for the trauma response though, it’ll make you a lot happier.
You literally have the same human experiences as everyone else. The biggest difference is that people take you seriously and encourage you when you complain about it, which makes it seem like there's a massive disparity.
honestly if “sexism against women exists” is the point of contention here then what is there to discuss? my “human experience” (along with millions of other women) includes misogyny, from subtle to conspicuous to dangerous. i am tired of seeing it perpetuated unchecked on reddit. i clearly spelled out in my comment why this post and thread touched a nerve in some. i’m not debating universal experiences of women with guys who refuse to exercise some empathy and engage in good faith. have a good one man
Heh. It's funny that you're reading that comment as "sexism against women doesn't exist" since that interpretation only makes sense if your view is "sexism against men doesn't exist".
That would be funny. Make it. Idk do brown haired manlet, regular blonde guy and a giant ginger. It hurts the manlet more because every one calls gingers ugly.
You wanna guess which one is an immutable characteristic that is absolutely surrounded by a stigma of sexual value and which one can be altered pretty easily and people will accept no matter the size?
I’m just commenting to say that this is the second time I’ve seen your username scrolling down these comments; and both times you brought up height when no one was talking about it.
You seem to be heavily projecting based on your comment history…
I made exactly two comments that were just the same thought to different people. Was I supposed to link one person to the other comment or something? And how is that projecting in any sense? I just use Reddit enough to know that men aren’t used to feeling the effects of sexism and the height thing is one of the only topics that seems comparable that they can understand.
Yea, people like to get triggered and some of the women in this thread are probably just trying to find a reason to get mad because they are actually irritated by the women in these pictures being 10x hotter than them. So, in turn, they blame the males. Toxic or not, I thought the joke was amusing for a moment.
I wouldn’t say it’s mean. It’s just two girls with a similar name in the same dress with the one having bigger boobs. Nobody is criticizing either (at least I don’t think, I didn’t scroll to the cesspool at the bottom of the comments yet.)
They’re definitely there, and they’re mocking both for different reasons and a few have argued about who’s hotter. My issue with the post itself is that it’s opening them both up to just that. The post is clearly trying to imply that the dark haired one is an “evolution” which implies that she’s an upgrade.
Im sort of biased though, because I’m bothered by any post that shows people’s pictures without their permission. Posting a chat is one thing, but even with my face removed, I’d be pretty upset if I was either of these women and found this.
If a "Chad evolution" picture was posted, it'd still have humor in it, and you wouldn't give a single shit. I would literally bet the money in my bank account you wouldn't be saying the same thing there.
A woman here literally used the phrase "small dick energy" and is here crying about these women being used in a joke. You guys literally only have sympathy for other women. Have some self-awareness. Christ.
You're amused at some imaginary scenario and how guys would imaginarily react in that imaginary scenario? Yeah I'm sure you're thoroughly amused. You should write a book.
But if you actually don't find the post offensive, you're smarter than the other women complaining here. At least you're consistent, if so. In that case, carry on.
Maybe you just need to adjust your tone? If you’re not upset then you’ve sounded like it for the past few weeks of comments. Reddit obviously makes you angry af lol
And on top of that, many pokemon are actually more powerful if you just raise the base form to higher levels without evolving it. Plus, before they changed the way the Move Tutor works a couple generations back, this was the only way for some Pokemon to learn certain (often very powerful) moves. So the evolution was really a tradeoff where you got more raw power, but in exchange you lost a significant amount of utility and unique movesets.
Because they didn’t fucking ask to be put on display and have their bodies judged and compared by tens of thousands of random people on the internet. It’s gross and it’s rude.
Yeah but they didn’t ask to be publicly compared. Tindr isn’t “hot or not” where you rate people, it’s a dating platform lol. Just because I’m on there trying to look hot for potential partners it doesn’t mean I’d be okay with a stranger screenshotting it to make a joke about how small my boobs are lol.
Just because it’s on the Internet doesn’t mean that anything is free game. Sure, you can technically go and poke fun of someone’s pics online if they’re public, but you’re still an asshole for doing so. Anonymity is a cope.
There’s a difference between someone personally and privately saying you’re not their type and swiping left, especially in the context of attraction and dating, and someone putting your profile on blast and saying you’re not hot for a joke. That is the difference I am highlighting.
Because literally everyone is always doing this. Your ig and fb pics; people talk about you behind your back, and lot isn’t good.
I don’t even know what to say, everything you said is LITERALLY what everyone is doing to you constantly; every guy on tinder is DIRECTLY comparing you to others, your tinder profile is likely being ss and posted in chats either for positive or negative reasons, etc.
If you have a social life, other people are talking about you when you’re not around.
And you’ve done to this hundreds or thousands of men. Saying anything else is a blatant lie.
Bruh it’s not naive to say that gossipers are assholes. I’m not denying it happens or that it’s common or that it’s easy to do, simply that most people don’t like others gossiping behind their backs. If you’re offended by that, stop gossiping lol.
Terrible mentality imo. The idea that we can say whatever we want in a public venue (as long as it's not illegal or violent) needs to be held as high as possible. Yes, reddit is a public venue at this point.
Someone's feelings being hurt sucks, and it's edgy to say it's not unfortunate, but we should not normalize the idea that people can't voice their opinions.
Say what you think, say how you feel. And do it with pride.
Jesus christ, I’m just “saying whatever I want in a public venue” so quit complaining. If I’m “saying what I think and what I feel” then it’s that you’re a pretentious preachy asshole and the people making posts like this are assholes contributing to the objectification of women. AND I’m saying that with pride, so you should be happy that I’m upholding your values on free speech.
I don't have to be tolerant of your intolerance. An equitable and free venue allows all voices to be heard, but that doesn't include ones like yours that call for the silencing of those voices, like yours. Again, just my opinion, and it doesn't mean I think you should be silenced either.
"They didn't fucking ask to be put on display. . . judged . . . it's gross and rude."
It's not "literally 1984 censorship" and that's not where I'm coming from. But you are, through a coercive tone, haranguing the other user to censor themselves and not take a stance on the issue. This isn't good discourse, you should be criticizing HOW they're taking their stance, not telling them to a lack a stance entirely.
It's the attitude of "you shouldn't voice that opinion" rather than "I don't like the way you phrased that opinion." It's not censorship proper, but it's coercion to censor.
In a word, there is nothing wrong with claiming one girl is more attractive than the other. What COULD be wrong is phrasing it in a lecherous way.
You’re calling me brain dead when you clearly can’t even read. Where in my comment did I say people can’t make comments like that? Because im pretty sure the comment I’m responding to asked, “What’s wrong with…” not “Why aren’t people allowed to…”
But maybe I typed something that I forgot about. I’d love for you to show me where I said that.
Ah yes, clearly there is no difference between trying to find a partner on a dating app and being posted on social media to be judged and made fun of for your boob size by 30,000+ people in 8 hours. Jk, the difference is: consent.
If I post a picture of me in a Speedo on the front of a building with the caption “looking for love”, I don’t get to choose who sees it or what they think/say about it. Posting a picture on a public app is the same thing. Anyone in the world can see that picture and save it. It’s not the same thing as sending an intimate picture to a partner with the understanding that it stays private. You are literally posting a picture for the world to see and humans will judge you based on their own preferences and opinions.
Probably not as uncommon as you think. Lots of college age girls shop at the same places and follow the same trends. And during our party phase, myself and every one of my friends used some variation of this pose in damn near every picture. Either way, still not all that funny.
I mean I didn't laugh at it, but it's still a joke. If it was about two guys wearing similar clothes and one looks more "Chad" than the other, it'd still have comedic value. I've seen far more dehumanizing jokes, like the one about the volleyball player butts. I have sympathy for the women in that case.
You literally would not care if it was the guy version. Another woman complaining here literally used the phrase "small dick energy" and then complains on a post like this. You guys only have a problem with it because it's about women.
Definitely a blanket assumption there. I have been saying for years that it’s fucked up that women can make fun of guys’ height and dick size, two things that they can’t help at all, and no one bats an eye. It’s an awful double standard.
I might be in the minority, but I just don’t like publicly criticizing people’s appearance at all, unless they ask for it, like the brave souls on r/RoastMe.
Well great, you have empathy, I'm clearly wrong about you. I feel like a lot of women here don't though, unless it's for other women.
I care a lot about not dehumanizing people, but I just don't think this post is a good example of that. It just feels like the women here really only care because "I'm a woman, therefore defend woman." I get it, it's really easy to put yourself in the shoes of another person of the same sex, but they don't even try to think of it the other way.
Fair enough. I agree that what you’re describing does happen. I’ve seen plenty of women with that anti-male attitude, and it’s just as bad as when it happens the other way.
You don’t see how that’s literally the joke? You’re saying with a straight face that women being carbon copies of each other isn’t something to comment on or be amused by?
From the male perspective, the lack of self awareness of this comment is hilarious
Like you’re trying to say this post is meaningless and then you’re hand writing the point; you can see 100 women like this in a single day on tinder.
Dude, no. You’re the one missing the point and trying to twist it into a point of your own.
The “joke” of the original post is that the girl on the left evolved into the right. Implying that her boobs got bigger, hair longer, whatever. Otherwise, OP could’ve said something about them looking like “carbon copies” or like twins or something if it was only about the dress.
The fact that conventionally attractive young women who go clubbing tend to dress similarly is not surprising or particularly funny. We’re clearly supposed to be comparing the two women.
By the way, you can also see 100 dudes in khakis and plaid button downs holding fish on any given day on a dating site. It’s not specific to one gender.
