Ah yes, the daughter as an object/possession, a cornerstone of misogyny..

Don't worry, the daddy daughter dance at the chastity ball is 100% normal and cool

What about "dads are protective of their daughters"?

Edit: better yet, "parents are protective of their children"

[โ€“] [email protected] 66 points 2 years ago (4 children)

My parents made me regret coming late by being disappointed at me, not by threats.

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

Your parents didn't shoot multiple partners of yours??

Next you're gonna tell me your parents aren't deers

[โ€“] [email protected] 16 points 2 years ago

My parents just told us we'd be grounded one day for every minute we were late. I'm a guy and never went out in high school, but my sisters made damn sure their boyfriends got them home on time.

[โ€“] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Okay, and this is a comic strip, not an instruction manual

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Don't have kids, probably never will, but I can sympathize with parents not wanting to be woken at 3am by an annoying teen. But also I recognize that is just what is going to happen.

My parents tried all sorts of things to get me to behave more like a responsible adult, and yet I behaved like an irresponsible teen. I just sucked up the punishment when I had to as a cost of doing business (and by business I mean staying out late on a school night)

I was barely in our family home from the age of 15+. Not because my parents were bad, but because it was what I wanted to do. My brother was home every night and in bed before midnight on weekends. I was the one saying "I'm going to a different city for the weekend, back Sunday night"

If they had punished me for it, I would have just done it when the punishment was over.

I gotta say, if some chud pulled a gun on my kid like this, I would get real protective real quick.

Self-descriptive comment.

Ok boomer, off to bed with you.

Boomer humour

[โ€“] [email protected] 67 points 2 years ago

What in boomeristan is this

[โ€“] [email protected] 51 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Turns out the daughter slows down on purpose at the end of the date so the friend is too late in bringing her home on time.

She also deliberately dates assholes she would rather see death.

This is a murder spree ran by her and her father.

Pretty sure this is the plot to >!Get Out.!<

Lemmy natively doesnโ€™t support Reddit-style spoilers. It may be a feature in some apps, but consider using the native Lemmy ::: spoiler tag.

(Doesnโ€™t make much of a difference here, just letting you know for the future.)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm using an app, so I would never have known, thanks! And sorry if I spoiled that :(

[โ€“] [email protected] 41 points 2 years ago

This boomer humor needs to go die the sad little death it deserves.

[โ€“] [email protected] 22 points 2 years ago

I think at that point those two deer can just leave and never have to come back.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago

10:30? More like whatever time it is in that frame plus however long it takes to walk to the car and say "good luck with your crazy father, but I'm out".

It's full of boomer humor:

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Do we have a r/comedynecromancy equivalent on Lemmy? These would make for a decent base for that.

[โ€“] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago (4 children)

The ageism is strong in this thread.

[โ€“] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

People are saying this isn't funny to young people who would be horrified by this.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The humor or lack there of has nothing to do with it.

[โ€“] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

What do you mean? That's what the comment 'boomer meme/humour' is referring to for example, that this meme appeals primarily to people born during the post WWII baby boom.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)
[โ€“] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What do you think they were saying? That seemed like the most straightforward interpretation.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And piles of dirty laundry spawning rats was the most straightforward interpretation during the black plague.

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Okay... Do you want to tell want you think the comments are actually saying and why? Then we can compare.

Which do you hate more, this thread or your spouse?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Have you stopped beating your child?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Always somebody looking for any excuse to be offended... and they call us snowflakes.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Bigotry should offend everyone. But no, snow flakes are each unique fractals. So I'd never call you one.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Bigotry, when it's actually bigotry, is reasonable to be offended by. This ain't it.

Who pronounces it m'kay instead of 'mkay?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Both pronunciations are identical. Unless you showed someone both at the same time and told them to take a very close look at them, Nobody would even notice there's a difference and everyone would pronounce them as expected.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I disagree. I would read 'mkay as "mm-kay" and m'kay more like "muh-kay" (similar to m'lady)

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Damn, so did i but I did the exact total opposite.....mm- Kay is just like mm-bop. 'Milady and 'mkay are samesies.
