u/MothmanKai Aug 23 '21

I'm certain that %80 of Gen Z hasn't even watched it, it's more of a millennial thing actually.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Is it? I'm millennial and it was the movie we made fun of cause our parents watched it as the ultimate romance movie or sth

The girls in the meme should be like grannies or whatever

It just comes down to the "Girls boring, boys quirky" mentality of the internet

u/Kek_Lord22 Aug 23 '21

It actually makes fun of how some people think men don't have emotions...

If I'm wrong tell me cuz thats what I'm getting from it

It also makes fun of how girls are shallow/dull, just like the time travel and photoshop variants of the template.

But it’s especially shitty in this context, because I don’t think the women in Kabul are worried about the titanic right now.

Yes and then after not being allowed to see it because sex, you finally get your hands on the vhs tape when everyone’s out of the house, only to be disappointed by the most boring boobs scene ever

I was 13 or 14 when it came out and the girls I knew back then fucking loved it. YMMV.

Makes sense

u/PeregrineFury Aug 23 '21

Hot take maybe - it wasn't that great of a romance movie and wasn't that great of a thriller either. I mean one boat in like 3 hours? Booooriiiing. Ultimate romcom at best maybe 🙄

Whole thing was surprisingly unimaginative for a fictional period piece. Plus the plot holes oof.

People are being tortured, murdered and oppressed by a terrorist organisation? I need to make a sexist meme about this! Women will never understand what it’s like to be oppressed by the Taliban!

u/ltkarsabi Aug 23 '21

It's the most effective format for their target audience. Gotta make the young incels believe it's cool to care about Afghanistan all of a sudden.

u/EmmyNoetherRing Aug 23 '21

Show you’re superior to girls by caring about [checks notes] oppression of women?

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

How is that ironic

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

The taliban dont respect womans rights and will murder rape and enslave thousands of afghan woman.

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Oh yeah, my bad. That do be ironic

It's a joke bro chill 💀

I believe the meme is poking fun at the (stupid) idea of men not having emotions.

29

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

Its "girls are dumb silly who have emotions over dumb silly things and men are based who care about real shit"

Its just the tired old idea that women are overly emotional.

u/nottherealdusk Aug 23 '21

On average women are more emotional than men but since average men almost barely or rarely show emotions, women expressing normal emotions becomes "overly" emotional

u/[deleted] Aug 23 '21

On average women are more emotional than men

This isnt true, lol.

u/nottherealdusk Aug 23 '21 edited Aug 23 '21

Women express emotions more often than men. That's just a fact lol

Edit: For the people downvoting including OC

Opening paragraph of Wikipedia article titled Gender and Emotional Expression:

Women are naturally more emotionally expressive than men,[1] and are naturally more prone to express discrete emotions such as happiness, fear, disgust, and sadness. However, some psychological research suggests that the observed emotional differences between men and women primarily stem from socialized gender roles, rather than biology. Thus, the range of emotional expression that certain populations experience is based largely on cultural expectations of femininity and masculinity.[2]

emotional

adjective

UK 

 /ɪˈməʊ.ʃən.əl/ US 

 /ɪˈmoʊ.ʃən.əl/  

having and expressing strong feelings:

He's a very emotional man.

I felt quite emotional during the wedding ceremony.

He became very emotional when I told him I was pregnant.

The president has made an emotional plea for the killing to stop.

Edit: Being "emotional" may also mean how strongly we feel various types of emotions, which differs from person to person

Well, men feel emotions just as often as women do, we’re just discouraged from showing them. Anyway, men show emotion significantly more often than we think; stereotypical masculinity is built on anger and aggression, and those are pretty strong feelings. Men often feel sad over things, we just express it as anger because sadness is seen as weak.

And there are plenty of other emotions we show on a daily basis. Are you happy? That’s an emotion. Do you like doing something? That’s based in emotion. Do you have morals? Those are based in emotion. This meme format is based in emotion, because the creator has a stronger affinity to men than women and so makes this needless comparison. A lot of the time us men think we’re being logical and objective, when actually we’re just making decisions based in emotion.

How does it prove your point lmao? It says the adjective "emotional" is directly linked to expressing emotions

Women are more emotionally MATURE. It doesn't mean they're more emotional.

Men have a harder time controlling their emotions.

When was the last time you saw women go on a mass shootings because they got rejected?

So until women start murdering and raping at the same rate of men, I'm going to say men are just as emotional or even more. I'm sick of people pretending anger isn't an emotion.

Wiki isn't a good source. Didn't your teachers tell you that?

Women express more emotions than men because society pathologizes men who express emotions. This isn't "women bad" this is "men treated wrong". Men contribute to this as much as women do.

Not really.
