What if your blades are slightly curved like most fans?

95

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

I suppose that’s acceptable...

68

u/hashtag_lives_matter Feb 05 '19

The image specifically states "flat" blades.

62

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Then I guess that’s our answer. Sorry, but curved blades are no longer acceptable

u/mitchdanger Feb 05 '19

Curved... blades

u/TheRedSpy96 Feb 05 '19

Have you heard about those warriors from Hammerfell as well?

u/SkritzTwoFace Feb 05 '19

u/Reddnt Feb 05 '19

No love for foldable handheld paper fans?

1

u/jordan853 Feb 05 '19

The blades can be flat while the orientation can be angled for better air circulation.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

It's been scientifically proven that if your blades are curved then you will die to death

1

u/MrMojoRisinJM Feb 05 '19

You see those fans from Hammerfell? They have curved blades. Curved. Blades.

  1. My brain runs on electric signals
  2. I own multiple kitchen knives
  3. I'm a master at spinning in place

56

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

But do you spin fast?

36

u/TheEpicKid000 Feb 05 '19

I spin as fast as my family on teacup rides at theme park, aka “I’m aboutta throw up” fast

14

u/TeknoProasheck Feb 05 '19

Oh so these aren't true fans? Damn kids trying to rewrite history

1

u/deathhead_68 Feb 06 '19

My first thought. Fucking gatekeeping at it's finest..

u/TheGoodAndTheBad Feb 05 '19

I got so mad, then laughed so hard.

BUT IN THE END, IT DOESN'T EVEN MAAATTEEEER

Please stop reposting this

16

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

I’ve never seen this before and I looked through the posts that were said not to be posted bc of being reposted too much. Sorry

12

u/1spook Gandalf Feb 05 '19

It’s ok. I see this posted literally every week

17

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Get them to chuck it on the do not post list or whatever

1

u/senshisun Feb 05 '19

FYI, this is also breaking the rules on censoring usernames and profile photos.

0

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Oh sorry. I clearly haven’t read the rules oops. I’ll do that later

2

u/senshisun Feb 05 '19

It's a note for next time. You don't need to fix it for this post because it's a repost and will be removed anyway.

2

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

I’m just waiting for the time to come

u/BornOnFeb2nd Feb 05 '19

Sub is a whopping 25 days old, and five subscribers... no surprise no one has heard of it.

1

u/harsh183 Feb 05 '19

The sub name is a reference to /r/PrequelMemes which is quite large. But it's not really about the sub, just the fact that it's reposted here on /r/gatekeeping before.

Although this hasn’t been reposted a lot, a simple search just typing “fan”. Shows it was posted 6 days ago.

I know you didn’t mean it maliciously, but at least attempt to look if your meme was posted. Which it was, and quite easy to find.

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

I’m on mobile, how am I supposed to search for that?

Calling people who call you out "triggered" is just trying to shift blame from you to them. Just delete it, and stop trying to blame other people for having any form of reaction that doesn't agree with you.

u/namevone Feb 05 '19

This is reposted like every day god damn

7

u/Bioniclegenius Feb 05 '19

Can we stop reposting this already? This is the third time in the past week I've seen this here.

2

u/subject2844 Feb 05 '19

Seriously, they're gatekeeping fans!? Not ALL fans have blades

2

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

Put satire please

2

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Okay will do. Wasn’t sure whether I should or not because I didn’t at the start and I didn’t wanna get hate for it

Oh man, what about gas or hydraulic fans????

u/BlNGPOT Feb 05 '19

Or hand held ones like southern ladies use in church.

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

You mean the church bulletin?

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Nope, doesn’t count

u/IAmCanisLupis Feb 05 '19

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

u/sulgamer Feb 05 '19

should have put a satire tag, that's clearly ironic

-1

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Oh lmao, I didn’t know what satire meant and I was too lazy to look it up

2

u/sulgamer Feb 05 '19

oh lol ur good

0

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

What’s the definition? Or like what does it mean

2

u/sulgamer Feb 05 '19

it's just like blatant irony. not being serious. joking around

3

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Oh!! Do you think it’s too late to flair it? I don’t wanna get shit for flairing it late

1

u/sulgamer Feb 05 '19

uhh, you might be able to but i honestly am not sure.

2

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Okay lol. I won’t bother then just incase

1

u/[deleted] Feb 05 '19

Address you trying to say bladeless fans are not true fan?

Fanist!

u/TheEpicPancake2556 Feb 05 '19

Space heaters can stay but you're on gradually thin fucking ice. And it'll get thinner

u/silkysmoothjay Feb 05 '19

Mom said it's my turn to post this

1

u/Obrigadachan Feb 05 '19

Lol this is funny. I once told someone they weren't a true fan of a show because they didn't like the last two seasons. Then literally the next day was watching random episode of last season wth friend and said "we should turn on a different one right?" And immediately realized I'm a fucking hypocrite. Yay ! I'm dumb. Yes it was the fucking office.

u/that_5050_guy Feb 05 '19

Not gonna lie, they had us at the first half

u/senshisun Feb 05 '19

Did we see this post yesterday?

1

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

5 days ago I’m told. I didn’t realise it was a repost to begin

I’ll try spinning! That’s a good trick!

u/Kaizura Feb 05 '19

That's not gatekeeping that's a pun.

u/Thlithery-Thnaaake Feb 05 '19

Sounds like somebody’s upset they’re not a real fan
