if the confusion is making you angry youre welcome to come get a hit in on my kid

[–] breadsmasher@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

… again, huh? why is anyone hitting kids. i dont understand

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world 19 points 3 weeks ago

its only for because sometimes when celebrities on the internet make you mad or when your kid doesnt understand taxes or also when your nephew tries to explain taxes to you

[–] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 9 points 3 weeks ago

Those little shits deserve it.

It is their fault Ariana Grande is looking so incredible

Hey, don't knock it till you tried it

[–] bleistift2@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Don’t knock on it till you’ve knocked it out.

[–] ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down.

[–] wahfflez@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

he doesn’t understand taxes. i beat him. get it through ur thick head

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

i hit my nephew one time for trying to explain taxes to me

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 31 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Are people here actually thinking this is literal/serious? Or am i missing something?

[–] Soulg@sh.itjust.works 7 points 3 weeks ago

I've noticed a pretty sizable gap in what people can see as obvious internet nonsense versus some kind of serious actual problem.

Like all the comments here making it out to be some kind of weird misogyny. It's just an absurdist shitpost lol

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

people arent a monolith sparkles okay both can be true at the same time

[–] _cryptagion@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

is this some gen z thing I'm too millennial to understand?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 10 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Gen Xer wondering the same thing. The kid hitting thing joke I get, but not what's supposedly making them angry.

[–] Agrivar@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Same here! Commenting because I hope someone clues us all in.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Could it just be as simple as "woman does thing, man is upset?" The kind of man that hits his kids probably also hates women.

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Maybe? I'm assuming it's a joke I just don't get.

[–] PlasticExistence@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

I don’t get it either, but we’re still on the same page with finding it hilarious when kids get hit, right?

[–] samus12345@lemm.ee 1 points 3 weeks ago

No, but I get the dark humor angle.

[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

Probably mad at Ariana cause of the whole wicked set relationship drama.

Edit. 2021. Oh. Uhhh. No clue.

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] SatanClaus@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Redhead left his wife with child for Ariana iirc.

[–] SgtAStrawberry@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

I can see that sparking drama, especially with her also leaving a marriage.

[–] DealBreaker@lemm.ee 9 points 3 weeks ago

I think it's because she is trying to appear as an Asian woman, and some people are getting mad over this

So these two are mocking the people getting mad

Sincerely,
A Gen Zer

[–] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 22 points 3 weeks ago

I don't get it.

[–] ChadMcTruth@lemmy.world 21 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

i dont even know what shes doing but i assume these men are justified

[–] Mr_Blott@feddit.uk 16 points 3 weeks ago

First picture, taking a shite

Second picture, examining said shite

[–] NickwithaC@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago (3 children)

Being a woman existing I guess? I don't know. She's not wearing anything outrageous or doing anything crazy or located anywhere for the shoot that would cause alarm to any reasonable person.

I think this photo in particular got alot of backlash because people think she's exaggerating her features to look more Asian. Its not super noticeable, but I think people were sensitive to it because ariana grande has a history of role playing as ethnicities she is not a part of. For example her brown face era when she would often use a blaccent and tanned excessively.

Heres a link to a more in depth reddit discussion about her and her shifting presentation: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/ahdxyc/can_we_discuss_arianas_skin_tone_and_the/

Also a YouTube video of her very cringe use of AAVE: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eLOF7Qaklsw

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

The whole Spongebob thing isn't a great look. The whole directly insulting the ex-wife of Spongebob who left said ex-wife two months after she gave birth isn't good either. The fact that Spongebob looks like a bobo version of her gay and fantastic brother is just fucking gross.

[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What on earth are you talking about? Spongebob?

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)
[–] noxypaws@pawb.social 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

so not even from the actual Spongebob Squarepants show, some musical offshoot

do normal people just know this stuff??

[–] MothmanDelorian@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Yes they do if they follow celebrity gossip. This was a big deal as again he looks like a slightly uglier version of her brother and he left his wife 2 months after she gave birth.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 20 points 3 weeks ago

Ariana Grande wishes she looked as good as a Japanese City Pop artist from the 1980s.
