Are the Straights OK? - Memes and Boomer comics about CisHet people pretending like being married, having kids, etc, is a punishment

!are_the_straights_ok@lemmy.blahaj.zone

This was one of my favorite subreddits, and I want to see it survive on lemmy.

Community for posting & making fun of memes/boomer-comics made by cishet people about how it's awful to be in relationship, or have children, or whatever else, also putting inappropriate clothing on children.

Post your "lol ball & chain" "my home boss" "haha i murdered my partner lol because im so frustrated over dishes lmao" memes here, as well as your garden-variety "toddler wearing a 'mothers, hide your daughters' onesie" or "" cishet behavior.

- That's not what this Sub is about. From the original description
  This subreddit is meant to discuss and laugh at toxic heteronormativity and Boomer memes; it is not a hate sub. Heterosexual people are welcome here and hetero hate is not - we're here to laugh, not hate.
  
  making fun of people for their sexuality is a dick move.
  That’s not what this Sub is about.
  and laugh at toxic heteronormativity
  ... uhhhhhh. Has my reading comprehension degraded that much or is it the language?
  Also: Overusing the word "toxic" can make it lose its meaning, can scare people from sharing their thoughts, and might be used unfairly to avoid responsibility.
  
  toxic heteronormativity
  Definition pls
I feel like this is more an issue with boomers, not straights in general?
- I don't know, are boomer guys like that.
  "I hate my naggy same sex partner and our adopted children."
  I dunno, kinda doesn't work the same.
  
  What?
  Boomers started the whole "wife bad," "father I cannot click the book" business
I would sub, but... From what I've seen, blahaj zone admins and users both seem a little unhinged...
- Unhinged?
  
  Blahaj admins defederated from lemmynsfw because of a community on nsfw called “adorableporn” that had a post of what a user believed to be CSEM and reported, and the blahaj admin who saw it also believed it to be CSEM. The lemmynsfw admins say the person is an adult and they aren’t going to remove the post or the community, but blahaj admins don’t want the liability of hosting what looks like CSEM on first glance and defederated.
  I really don’t get why anyone is wound up about it, it’s not like they’re banning people who make alt accounts to access lemmynsfw.
  Edit: assuming that’s what the op is calling then unhinged over, anyway.
In a weird way I find these kind of jokes nostalgic, because they remind me of when I was a kid reading old comic books, and all the husbands seemed to hate their wives and vice versa.
Nice yeah this was a great sub, subscribed and submitted one I’ve seen recently!
having kids definitely is, or would be a punishment 😂
- Problem is, people who think that actually end up having children
