Have you seen the movie "Her"?
i know I'll get downvoted to oblivion for saying this but I don't care; I think this is disgusting. i don't like shaming people for who they are or what they do, or bullying of any kind, BUT i also think it's absolutely apprehensible behavior to engage in a romantic relationship with someone who uses discord.
Hahaha, she's fat. The horror. The betrayal. He thought he had a girl who loved him, but little did he know she was fat. And nothing is more horrific than that. Thank God he found out, he might have started caring about her, like an idiot.
It's okay to be disappointed if you exchange pics with an online flirt and it turns out they're fat.
I assumed the joke was his "girlfriend" was a man who's been lying to him, at least that was my initial thought from the exceptionally hairy legs.
Seems like the obvious joke to me too...
Why is everyone assuming this is about weight? What's the reverse image search part mean? I feel like there's something else to this.
When he attempted to reverse search the image, he didn't find any matches which lead him to believe this is a real photo from the person he's chatting with and not a joke or something like that. There are two assumptions (based on this thread anyway, order has no bearings on which one is more "true" or not).
-
(My assumption) He is disappointed because the girl is fat/hairy and therefore unattractive and unworthy of his affection.
-
He is disappointed because the hairy leg makes him think his "girlfriend" is his "boyfriend," otherwise known as a catfish, and he is feeling tricked/embarrassed/hurt/etc.
My knee jerk assumption was weight. When I encounter posts with fat people, I'm used to people responding in revulsion so I took that train of thought.
Without context this isn't funny and the most i can get out of it is that it is fat shaming and/or shaming unshaved legs
Not baiting. I just genuinely don't find content from this community funny when it shows up in my feed. And if you can't explain what is funny about this post without thinking its bait then maybe you should reflect on that.
I think the implication is OP got catfished
it's okay to hate bodies that dont conform to the fantasy standard, didn't you get that memo?
it's also fine to hate addicts and neurodivergents and anyone that suffers consequences from behavioral patterns, because anything short of perfection is shit, dontchaknow. god i hate myself
Average weight 20 years ago isn't a fantasy standard.
I don't like the idea of the word fat-shaming. Of course I don't condone bullying but being so hyper protective about someone being fat just is peculiar to me. When I was fat myself, due to the teasing of my friends (again not bullying) I put in the work and got fit therefore now I'm more healthy. That wouldn't happen if my friends were afraid of not "fat-shaming" me
I mean, that's nice for you, but the difference is that that teasing was coming from the friends, and not internet randos who neither know nor care about you.
Next to nobody who sees that screenshot knows the person in the photo, or whether they're even able to lose weight by "putting in the work".
Also, there's a preponderance of evidence that your case is an outlier, and "teasing" does not improve the lives of its targets.
You never know what somebody is going through, and it costs nothing to be kind.
You're right, I should try and be more kind. Sorry

Delusional comparison lol
You can credit whatever you want in your head, but learning to hate our bodies is more of a recipe for eating disorders than it is for self-care of exercising and eating right
That doesn't mean others can't dislike what they see.
", Tauren desperately interjected, eager to remind the two strangers talking about their own bodies that he hates fat people.
When you misuse words, they lose any meaning, and so does your speech.

same I'm so confused rn
Very simple. Turns out the egirlfriens op has a crush on is not attractive at all to op meaning its over.
"I'm serious. She could actually be a 300 pound dude who lives in his momma's basement in suburban Detroit. And her name is Chuck." - Ready Player One
No, no, no! Come on! Cooper was right... This guy wants to have sex with me!
"Listen, Mieke... I don't want to arrange any meetings with you, you sick, German freak. So please keep your hands off my genitals, and never write to me again, and don't come to America. Goodbye."

Real talk here, Eurotrip was a leagues better internet relationship story than Ready Player One could ever hope to be.
Amazing movie
Mi scusi
Is the problem that she uses Gnome, or that she uses dark mode?
That's not gnome
...it's a Windows workstation!
No programming socks
a cis person in the year of our lord 2025? disgusting.
Doesn't look like gnome in any way. That task bar looks like windows 11. Gnome doesn't have a task bar. The "bar" of icons on the left are discord servers.
Doesn't that look more like Windows 11?
Windows 11 did rip off gnome 🤔
Ummm...Windows 11 was way more of a KDE ripoff than a gnome ripoff.

Can't rule out that's a close-up of a capybara. Gf is 3 capybaras stacked in a trenchcoat? Rule 1 of the Internet--pics or she never happened.

I don't get it
Isn't it pretty normal not to shave your legs?
I think the implication is that the discord girlfriend was an overweight man pretending to be a woman in order to catfish
He has very dainty feet then. Twinkle toes even. But it's probably a dude yeah.
