A. The shirt itself goes very hard.

B. Usually I roll my eyes when people talk about the whole "Alpha/Beta Energy" BS, but this actually has me rethinking that entire POV. Sometimes just being brave enough to be yourself, whether it's in the deep south or anywhere else, takes a lot of balls. ❤️

I <3 MILFS gay little backpack sorta looks like a shoulder holster.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

It's for the gay Glock.

I’m for a friendly competition to settle the matter.

State Fairs just got spicy

[–] No_Eponym@lemmy.ca 2 points 7 hours ago

But hopefully not fishy

[–] Proprietary_Blend@lemmy.world 13 points 14 hours ago

Roller Derby?

[–] jjmoldy@lemmy.world 84 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Divorced dads 🤝 lesbians 🤝 teenage boys

(Their taste in t-shirts)

Hell yea

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 9 points 17 hours ago

I'm one of those and the other two I can definitely understand...

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Oh, I thought you were answering the question.

[–] blazeknave@lemmy.world 16 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Srsly wrt the south comment. Even there. Nawlins is the only place I've ever been physically assaulted for being a Jew (and somehow this blacked out Nazi just smelled it from the down the block and came at me out of the blue)

Leaving the coasts somehow sets you up for experiencing overt antisemitism. In Arizona, I was genuinely asked if matzo contains the blood of Christian children and I was expected to pay most of the time since "He's a Jew, he's got plenty". In NOLA I was asked to leave a bar by patrons with swastika tattoos. In Colorado, at a conference (they were from NC, I picked up a "fan" who wanted to shout Nazi slogans and do the salute around me after they overheard me speaking Yiddish.

I'm so sorry you were attacked in NOLA, it's absurd that we have to put up with this shit. I truly hope we can be free from this stupidity one day.

America is fucked up.

[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 10 points 16 hours ago

Yeesh, I'm sorry dude, that's awful. I hope you pressed charges.

I don't get why some people have to be such lame ass pieces of shit. Imagine you're drunk and surrounded by music and people just having fun, enjoying themselves and trying to mind their own business, but you just can't pass up an opportunity to be an antisemitic scumbag.

[–] MummifiedClient5000 27 points 20 hours ago

Leave some for the rest of us.

5, actually! Though we don't know what 2 of them say...

[–] archaeholic@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 19 hours ago (1 children)

Pretty sure one says "Titties Enjoyer"

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I thought it was Titties Matter

[–] thomas@lemmy.ca 6 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Black shirt in the back clearly says "Titties sucker", but I can't guess what the white shirt says.

[–] normalexit@lemmy.world 1 points 7 hours ago

I assumed titties & beer, but I'm a simple man.

[–] fantacyde@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

White shirt on the right says Let's Scissor

[–] thomas@lemmy.ca 4 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I meant the other white shirt, the one that the lady in a grey hat wears.

[–] bstix 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

My best guess judging by the visible letters is that it either says "I like your mom" or "Bukakke Soccer Mom".

[–] thomas@lemmy.ca 1 points 7 hours ago

While the second one is hilarious, it doesn't sound lesbiany enough. So my vote is on "I like your mom".

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 6 points 18 hours ago

This is pretty great.

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 10 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

I can read three of the shirts. What's the another two say?

[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 11 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Idk, I didn't take the picture, just saw it and felt it would be appropriate for here.

One looks like something about titties? Maybe? No idea about the other.

[–] ThePantser@sh.itjust.works 9 points 20 hours ago

I think it might be "I ❤️ Titties and Beer". Like this

[–] ogmios@sh.itjust.works -1 points 20 hours ago (4 children)

Imagine an overweight middle aged man wearing a shirt that says "moustache rides: $5".

Yea, not exactly alpha, huh?

[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 24 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (2 children)

Right, but this isn't that.

This is a pack of lesbians in the deep south, not giving a fuck about what anyone thinks, even as the country is being driven towards civil war by uptight fundamentalists who hate freedom.

They're out to have a good time and enjoy themselves instead of looking to everyone else to see how they can judge them and insert themselves into everyone else's business. Looks like an easy going group of freedom loving Americans with a good sense of humor.

Context matters, so pretty fucking alpha in my book 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 11 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

I mean, that was my takeaway. If everyone knows and accepts that you like pussy, then wearing a shirt that says "I ❤️ pussy" is just kinda skeevy, if not wildly inappropriate. If you're in a place where people either deny your sexual orientation exists or don't want your orientation to exist, then you're a badass for being explicit about what you like, and I'm comfortable with light applause.

[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 13 points 19 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

They're in the French Quarter. She could be looking off camera and smirking at somebody yelling in a megaphone while telling her she's going to burn in hell, or a middle aged guy in a mustache rides t-shirt raising his cup to her bc he admires the game. Coin toss.

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

Fair. Weirdly, I've been one of those dudes with the megaphone lol.

[–] dnick@sh.itjust.works 4 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago) (2 children)

Why would you assume she was gay, if it wasn't obvious from the shirt?

Edit: possible i misread, and we're actually agreeing. Didn't realize you weren't the person being responded to.

[–] Llewellyn@lemm.ee 1 points 8 hours ago

Couple of them have a certain stereotype outlook. As a gay I have an eye for that.

[–] blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 1 points 11 hours ago

No worries.

[–] semisimian@startrek.website 3 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

Do lesbians travel in packs? I typed it into Google and for the first time in a while, it did not return an AI result. The most common mention of more than one lesbian congregating is in a "group." I'll ask my lesbian friends if there is preferred nomenclature for a gathering.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

As a WLW, I believe the technical term for a group of lesbians is "roommates."

^/s^

[–] semisimian@startrek.website 1 points 9 hours ago

Nice! My comment was a joke, but it didn't land as such. I'm still going to ask my friends what they prefer, but after a few drinks, because it is a joke query to begin with.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 7 points 18 hours ago

You: Has lesbian friends, and yet doesn't know the answer already by observation.

Instead you asked a search engine that you were expecting an AI answer from.

There is a LOT going on here.

[–] Catoblepas@piefed.blahaj.zone 10 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

‘Lesbians wearing shirts about sex during Pride month are just like straight dudes wearing shirts about sex any time’ is incredibly kneejerk and poorly reasoned, you can do better than this.

[–] AcidicBasicGlitch@lemm.ee 3 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Gotta disagree with you in this particular case. Living here I see a lot of novelty sex shirts 24/7/365. Constant parties and groups of bachelor or bachelorettes. I usually don't think twice about it.

I have to give points for:

A. Originality. I've seen 'I <3 milfs' a million times before, but can't recall ever seeing this one. I imagine if Kenny Powers opened up a novelty T-shirts store in Daytona Beach, he would sell this shirt and attempt to trademark it.

B. Unexpectedness. When I first saw this, I was scrolling through several other pictures and hit this one. It was like rounding a corner and being taken by complete surprise. The randomness of the shirt combined with the person wearing it, and the look on her face, elicited a genuine "Guffaw," followed by me simply holding up my phone in response to the group of people I was with asking "What?"

It simply would have been too difficult to convey the complexity of the image into words, and all 6 people had a similar speechless reaction.

C. Rather than simply making a statement, it encourages one to really stop and think.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 1 points 13 hours ago

It sounds like you're in agreement with the comment above yours.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 3 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

Yea, not exactly alpha, huh?

Don't yuck their yum & harsh their mellow, shamer.

[–] WolfmanEightySix@piefed.social 8 points 18 hours ago

Because that (Hypothetical.) man probably actually thinks like that. This is just a group of women being funny.

You don’t have to like it.
