I’ve always wanted to talk about how weird it was scrolling through reddit and then suddenly seeing myself on the front page. I was banned from reddit for talking about politics (I am anti trump) on the air force reddit so I wasn’t even able to comment on a post about me.

For some backstory, I was returning from a Halloween cruise and it was the only clean shirt I had left (I was planning on wearing it during the cruise as there were no children allowed on the cruise and with the theme I thought it would get a few laughs or at least start a conversation). I never did though and doing laundry on a cruise was quite expensive (I think 50 dollars per load or something like that). I tried to hide the shirt as best I could throughout the day as I do think it was slightly inappropriate to wear in a public setting.

For the record, I love all the comments roasting me and I laughed all fucking day reading them!

Anyways, I have always wanted to publicly talk about this and in my search for reddit alternatives I found lemmy so here we are. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.

    Why do dudes that fetishize “”“goth”“” girls all look exactly like you would expect them to.

          Maybe not but I know a bass player who’s style is basically that dude minus the t-shirt and he’s been in a very happy relationship with a goth girl for years now.

        I mean none of the alternative people I know are into being fetishized like that. In fact they absolutely hate it.

          Having a preference isn’t automatically fetishizing people and there’s a world of difference between the two. I have a preference for big boobs but I didn’t even consider pursuing my now ex until i overheard her having a heart to heart with a troubled friend I was very close too.

              So we’re not allowed to be attracted to large breasted goth women? Are they condemned to live lonely lives since no ones allowed to be into them?

                  If going for well read people with a sense of ethics that I can easily converse with is fetishizing people then it’s alot more positive term than you make it sound. Maybe more people should fetishize each other.

    So Reddit banned you and is now profiting having your picture on their homepage? I would do a takedown request.

      So originally she was right next to me at a charging station that faced the wall. I sat next to her because I was waiting for her to get up and leave so i could sit and face the wall and charge my phone AND be more comfortable reading my book. She kinda put her head down on the table and started snoring so loudly, it was hilarious. I looked around a bit at a few people next to me and we were all kinda laughing at it. She eventually got up and sat down somewhere else and I didn’t notice because I was too into my book at the time I guess.

    It’s crazy how rare it is to see someone reading a book while waiting nowadays. Good on you.

    Damn, you look like you lost weight!

    Good job! (Either of the weight loss, camera skills or possibly both!)

      Thanks! It’s probably a mixture of the original photo not being very flattering (Me crouched over reading a book after sitting in the air port for over 6 hours) and camera skills/working out and eating right. This was also just after a cruise where I ate my body weight in food and did little exercise lol.

      I mean, I would love a goth girl with giant boobs, but boobs are boobs. I just want someone nice who knows how to communicate!
