    The best thing about lemmy is that it brings back things like this that I often thought about and really wanted to find again to be able to fill the gaps in my memory, but couldn’t remember enough about it to be able to find on Google.

    Its not the first time it happens to me. Anyway, thanks op. I had given up hope on finding this one again.

      This is what Reddit used to do for me. The weirdest thing Reddit ever did was give me the name of an insect that for years I tried to Google when I would see it and I have legitimately only ever seen the bug 3 times in my 28 years of life. They are so small, so infrequent, and so rare that I thought for years I wasn’t even seeing an I sect but just a fuzz from a dandelion once it changes.

      I mean for actual fucking years I could not find the regular name, the slang name (usually changes based on dialect, or even the scientific name. The amount of times I searched for “white fuzzy bug” or “white floating bug.” No matter the combination. I even would tell people, “I remember seeing this bug and I have seen it so rarely I don’t even know if it is real.” And most of my friends would say, “yeah never seen it.” And then that one friend would say, “dude me too.” And then one fucking day I open Reddit and God dammit if I didn’t believe it someone gave me the name. Actual years of feeling insane and thinking those little fuckers were a sign of something higher because of how fragile and cute they are and Reddit not only gives me the name, confirms I am sane but enlightens me on the little bastards they actually are.

      I am from West Virginia and if you made it this far well by God if you have seen one then I swear on mother nature you aren’t insane and we are in this together.

    the most interesting thing about this is the fact that “removed” is blurred out, but not “gay ass queer”. times have changed and i feel so fucking old.

    e: til you can’t say it on lemmy.

      Because it breaks Rule 1

      Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

    Wait, is the punch line just “sexual harassment is funny”? I must be missing something. The guy said he didn’t like the attention and green straight up continues with " … said the stable boy." rather than apologising, or dropping it.

    This is straight up verbal sexual harassment. 🤔Why is this being upvoted? 🥴 Even if it’s fake, the joke is still “Isn’t it funny that the guy said stop, but he didn’t stop?! lol.”

    It breaks Rule 5:

    No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.

    Edit: To the downvoters: 🤣

    Edit 2 Electric Boogaloo: 😗

    I’ll be monitoring further responses and then blocking this community. Thanks for helping me filter out toxic communities on Lemmy.

    I thought this was Lemmy Shitpost, not Lemmy’s shitstain. 💩

    Edit 3: I love that I call out sexual harassment and I’m met with sexual harassment by users in this community. Hmmm, it’s almost like this type of content encourages certain behaviours. Ain’t that interesting?

    So long and thanks for all the fish ☮

      Lemmy’s shitstain? I feel like you are harassing this community and breaking rule 5. Please throw out your computer, thank you.

        I didn’t say this is Lemmy’s shitstain, I said I thought this is Lemmy Shitpost and still think it is, and that this is not Lemmy’s shitstain.

        But new shit has come to light, and I’m reconsidering.

        Still not saying that this place is a shitstain yet. It could be, but I haven’t confirmed it yet. If you want me to confirm it, then add another insult to injury and click downvote to this post.

        So your agreeing with me that there was sexual harassment, and then there was more sexual harassment?

        Thank you for proving my point even further.

        Edit: It’s even worse!

        That means this content breaks Rule 1 as well

        Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

      This is fake (like all of these conversation screenshot posts, welcome to the internet, where have you been) and what makes it funny is the fact that it’s fake. If a man posted it as “I’ve got harassed by X and this is my story” the majority would react similarly to you (some ppl would still be haha funny as we can see from actual sh/sa posts and those people can go fuck themselves). But it isn’t, we all know it’s fake, we all laugh about the absurdity of it and that’s it.

        So a fake sexual assault story that can be viewed as funny is OK now? Thanks for the heads up.

        Technically they are right; it does violate the rules of the sub and assuming it wasn’t staged or made up, that is a pretty douchey thing to do to somebody. I can see why they’d be offended.

        It’s still absolutely hysterical of course, but they do have a point.

      It doesn’t feel like sexual harassment to them because it’s directed towards a straight male. Change the words to “stable girl” and everyone would call it creepy instead of funny (as they should, because it is). Don’t try to reason with these people, it will just needlessly make you angry.
