I miss Christian the lion :(.

In the lion's defense, the human was asking for it.

[-] FilthyShrooms@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Yea, just look at how he's dressed! /s

[-] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

If he didn't want to be eaten he shouldn't have been wearing that hotdog costume.

Is that a lion-tiger hybrid? The thing's frickin enormous.

[-] LumiNocta@lemmy.zip 5 points 23 hours ago

Nope just a male lion...

[-] TankovayaDiviziya@lemmy.world 4 points 23 hours ago

Probably the angle and lens skewed the perception?

[-] TheLeadenSea@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 day ago

The human is also an animal who does take selfies

Dude is living the dream.
Cuddling the danger cat.

[-] turtlesareneat@piefed.ca 2 points 1 day ago

So that dude is like, just not my usual type maybe but something about him cuddling a lion makes him a 10/10 would seduce, I need to investigate this further and maybe hang around some zoos looking for trainers...

I do not think he is an idiot for befriending a lion. He's not the first. Maybe you are unfamiliar with people that have befriended lions, Maybe you do not share a kinship with the animals in our world and are just a rotten person looking to criticize others by any means?

[-] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

It's just a joke, I don't think there is a single person who recognizes that guy who doesn't think he's cool as hell with his lion friends.

I don't find that joke funny. I have a great respect for people that make friends with animals, and I find people that heap scorn on those that do make friends with animals to be pieces of fucking shit.

Which they are, haha.

I really don't think anyone intended any scorn here.

[+] bedwyr@piefed.ca -8 points 1 day ago

The post is itself heaping scorn on a man that made friends with lions, hoping those Lions would kill that man.

I'm sorry do you have a different take? Look at the fucking post and then tell me if I'm wrong.

[-] Lydia_K@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I do read it very differently. It's a funny picture joke based on something that it is totally not happening.

Look, you are entitled to your opinion here and neither of us actually knows what the original creator of this had as their intention, but you are coming at people with a ton of anger and vitriol and I'm trying to explain why you are getting a lot of people being like "What are you talking about?"

I do not see this as a personal attack on the lion whisperer here at all, just a silly joke made from a pretty incredible picture.

It's a joke based on play pretend. Let's play pretend the lion can take selfies. Lets play pretend the lion is also an asshole, which is a bit unexpected, making it somewhat funny, and let's pretend the lion is planning to eat his friend but first posts like an Instagram influencer, also unexpected in this play pretend universe, so that's the joke. Nobody is scorning no man here
