Reddit is home to quite a few selfshippers (people who ship themselves with fictional characters and beleive they are in a relationship with them) especially on r/fictosexual subreddit (huge lolcow goldmine, even by reddit standards. EVERYONE on it is a lolcow).
Apparently seeing/mocking selfshippers/fictosexuals as the delusional weirdos that they are is bigotry called "fictophobia" now
Imagine being 33 and STILL being into this ficto crap

Fictophobia really angers me + people who barely understand too

This OP wrote a whole essay and the general complaint from users and OP is misgendering the two headed calf. For context, the poem is some shitty garbage written in the 70s that is no bodies business reading.
Every few months I see this poem: https://twitter.com/nktgill/status/1534096441639059456 make the rounds on Reddit or Twitter and everyone seems to love it. There are countless people who get tattoos and literally, every fucking comment is people saying shit like "oh thanks for making me cry today". I understand it makes me a massive party pooper but I think the poem fails at its message.
A two-headed animal is two living beings fused into one body. Look at any "two-headed" person and they are always correctly identified as conjoined twins because they are two people. Like we would never refer to Abby and Brittany hansel as one person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abby_and_Brittany_Hensel A two-headed calf would be no different. Cows are mammals with conscious experiences like humans but throughout the entire poem, the calf(s) are referred to as a singular entity.
Tomorrow when the farm boys find this freak of nature, they will wrap *his* body in newspaper and carry *him* to the museum.
But tonight *he* is alive and in the north field with *his* mother. It is a perfect summer evening: the moon rising overthe orchard, the wind in the grass. Andas *he* stares into the sky, there aretwice as many stars as usual.
I feel like this mistake actually takes away from the message. The poem's fundamental point seems to be that the calf(s) is a living feeling creature that has an experience and existence, and this will be disrespected by the farm boys only it see it for its unusual features. The problem is by ignoring the fact that the two-headed calf is two living creatures, the poem is ironically 'disrespecting' the hypothetical calf(s) in a similar way. A good example would be the final line "as *he* stares into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual" This line only really works when the calves are referred to as one entity because the line "as *they* stare into the sky, there are twice as many stars as usual" doesn't have the same twisting impact at the end with the calves already being referred to as they. The poem is unintentionally disrespecting these hypothetical creatures' existence for the audience's emotional state.
Idk maybe if the poem was called the two-faced calf it would work but that sounds kinda like the calf is either a batman villain or it's gonna stab someone.
Honestly, though I don't blame Laura Gilpen. She wrote the poem in 1977 so I think she honestly meant the massage and she just didn't know much about basic neuroscience. I guess I'm just surprised that so many people don't seem to know any better nowadays.

That was a poem? It looked more like someone from Reddit submitted random words into an AI program and this is what it crapped out.

Isn't Pepe a 4chan mascot? I guess ours would be a drooling dog or Chris Chan.

Pepe is predominantly 4chan culture. This is just a weird example of us kiwis being retroactively made the internet boogeyman. Like what does this website have to do with a subreddit dedicated to hating cars and car dependent infrastructure.

Redditors are mouth breathing retards. You can't expect them to know anything about the internet outside of that place called "Reddit." They still think it's the 2010s and 4chan is the oh-so scary boogeyman, kinda like us, and we use pepe as a callsign. When that is simply the farthest thing from the truth.

These are people who watch CNN and MSNBC religiously and never question the narrative of who's attacking all the Asian Americans.

The redditor is so retarded they have forgotten Pepe is as old as their website, that Kiwifarms doesn't own it and that they are not in any way "taking control" of it.

I'm just glad it looks like pepe is having a good day look at that one on the train he has his hands in the air! The one on the trike is sad but that's probably just because he is a grown man riding a tricycle.

You know the part that bothers me the most about posts like this? The retarded leftists who post it don't even believe the shit they are spewing. I've lived around leftists my entire life on the west coast and say shit like this then go home to their 90% white neighborhood in Portland where they interact with basically only white people all day. It's all for show. So much of leftist is just performative bullshit to virtue signal how good and dedicated of a leftist you really are. I fucking hate them man. I hate how fake they are.

Average mainstream centrist African-American political thinking, tbh. If a Black Person of Color didn't write the comment, it's still probably where the upvotes are coming from.

A black person writing that makes far more sense. The sheer contempt for White people is palpable in the post.

"WHITE PEOPLE could be here" he thought, "I've never been in this neighborhood before. There could be WHITE PEOPLE anywhere."
I guarantee whenever rhetoric like this gets thrown around they default to shit like the Rittenhouse incident or similar moments while completely disregarding the primary demographic that showed itself during the 2020 riots - and the demographic that continues to show itself overwhelmingly in US gun violence statistics, especially against its own damn self.
I'm less taken back by the retardation of the statement than I am the 1.5k upvotes it got. Some people are genuinely deluded into completely different realities.
