Isn't this meme the wrong way round?

Joseph Gordon Levitt's character is the charlatan in the film

[-] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 55 points 2 months ago

Can't be. Man good, woman bad.

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 24 points 2 months ago

idk the characters nor the movie. i just used a common template :3

[-] cabbage@piefed.social 41 points 2 months ago

I'm probably just not cultivated enough in the refined world of internet memes, but this comes across as "girls are noobs hurr durr"

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 40 points 2 months ago

idk, its just a meme template to me...

[-] Dagnet@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

You did nothing wrong, people are just trying hard to find sexism where there is none. That template has always been 2 people thinking they have the same opinion but actually being very different. Could reverse those two and suddenly there would be no issues for them

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 4 points 2 months ago

It was always the opposite in this template tho, with the girl being well versed in something and the guy being a newbie or whatever

[-] Zachariah@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

seems to support their criticism

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 27 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's just a meme template, nothing deep. It's a template used to say "we are similiar yet not the same" or "we look the same but we are the opposite" or things like that

I'd argue that if your first thought was that, after looking at the template then...yeah something is clearly wrong with you

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 19 points 2 months ago

Except society often already relegates the opinion of women as wrong by default. The template leans into that. I'd argue that them questioning the meme template is a good thing because they're aware of biases pushed by society.

Just because it's a meme template doesn't mean it's not deep

I like this version more that the privacy one. I vote we restart the thread with it.

[-] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 3 points 2 months ago

Or this:

XD

[-] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 12 points 2 months ago

That's because it does. The template pretty much always pushes the man is right the woman is wrong which plays into several biases pushes by society.

[-] Redacted@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 months ago

Comes across as the girl enjoys porn to me.

[-] cRazi_man@europe.pub 3 points 2 months ago

It would work just as well if the icons were flipped. Would that come across better?

I can see the implicit sexism of implying the girl is the less informed. But I've also got a problem with gate keeping in the community. Someone might say they are focusing on privacy and use incognito chrome, but they're ideologically still on your "team"....they're just a bit behind in their journey and need to find out more about working their way up to making the real meaningful changes. Help em out.

thanks clippy :3

[-] Vespair@lemmy.zip 12 points 2 months ago

So wait, not only did you add your additional privacy picks, you also added non-sequiturs for the topic like ChatGPT to the female character to make her appear not just under-informed but outright ignorant? Okay I guess

Lock yourself in a cave with no access to the internet for the ultimate privacy.

[-] blinfabian@feddit.nl 6 points 2 months ago

thanks for the 1st comment on here thats not just complaining about the meme template :D

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 9 points 2 months ago

What's wrong with nord? Is it specifically bad or just not as good as other options?

[-] TheRealKuni@piefed.social 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Even privacy advocates tend to rate Nord relatively highly. Maybe it’s just, like, the Yankees of VPN services and they advertise hard, so people knee-jerk hate them? (But I don’t know, someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

I’m disappointed in them dropping Meshnet, that was an awesome free perk.

[-] hellfire103@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

It's proprietary, and therefore most of us don't trust it.

its just mainstream. thats why its in the meme. idk if its actually bad tho

[-] Asafum@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

Makes sense, I was just curious as I don't know a whole lot about them.

[-] MotoAsh@piefed.social 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's bad because it's bloated trash whos main purpose is to upsell their other services.

It doesn't even work right after you hop a few servers.

[-] ZkhqrD5o@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

On the right side you forgot the apple.

[-] nagaram@startrek.website 4 points 2 months ago

"I'm very privacy focused which is why I use Apple products"

Is such an annoying and real thing

[-] solrize@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I recognize the chrome and nordvpn logos, and a couple of the others look familiar, but overall idk. No idea what the greyed chrome logo is supposed to signify. Ok I identified librewolf. But, the joke is on them. No modern browser can possibly be private. Want privacy, use lynx.

just use curl

[-] urheber@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 2 months ago

Male = tech

Female = dumb uninformed prude

Right?

[-] yardratianSoma@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 months ago

would have been better to use the breaking bad "Jesse Pinkman and Jane" template, no?
