Snot FlickermanHow about we normalize being flamboyant and colorful for straight adult cisgender men instead of re-enforcing the idea that any deviation from being a boring frumpy dump of an old man means they must be some type of queer. Isn’t this just re-enforcing outdated gender norms?
lumpenproletariatFlamboyant and colourful emos?
We called that scene.
ABetterTomorrowIm 40 and I swear to god im not trans, I don’t want to be a woman, I have no desire to transition.
I do like to express my feminine side from time to time and I look good in eyeliner and thigh highs
Now PLEASE help me get my family to stop looking at me like an egg about to crack
idk, i read this as a joke about how being emo isn’t accepted once you’re past a certain age, and how that age is higher for women. don’t get me wrong i do think straight cis men should be allowed to be flamboyant and colourful, but i don’t think the meme is against that
My hot take was in the early 00’s the emo movement was the start for alot of ppl questioning their gender identity.
Amazing mental gymnastics to get a read of ‘boy become a woman’ that isn’t trans.
I’m also pulling for depolicing gender for everyone, but also a silly laugh about which subcultures have eggs that come out faster.
I love you emo boys that became women. I love you emo boys that became goth men. I love you faahion cryptid enbies.
Hell yeah!
I am not flamboyant myself. Along with being a strongly introverted AuDHD computer nerd, I am a straight adult cisgender man with a long beard and literally wearing a red & green flannel shirt right now. I’ve been trying to wear natural fibers lately and it’s 100% cotton coziness.
The frumpy dumpy path so many in my demo seem to assume is their destiny can fuck alllll the way off. We need people to share their interests and be flamboyant if that’s what’s in their heart!
God forbid we allow a spark of joy in our hearts to reach out and improve the existence of another human, right? Especially when we could have spent more time being good worker bees and consumers of product and content, so that a few sociopaths could watch a number go up and wait for the contentment that will never come.
