This idea of "Le Jocks and Cheerleaders" is extremely outdated. The world isn't 1980s comedy movies anymore and while the post is fake, I've seen people genuinely conflate jocks with people who hate nerd shit.
We live in strange strange times. The "Le Jocks and Cheerleader" bullies have jumped on Nerd things because it has become fashionable..but instead of "bullying" Jocks for loving LE SPORTS BALL they bully OG nerds and people who don't hop on the "Suck the girl dick" train. So Jocks no longer bully nerds...Fake Nerds Bully Real Nerds.
 
Jesus...
What are the chances those are janny trannies looking to get a quick fix?
If you look at the mod's response in the thread, he tries to gaslight the users into thinking they're dumb for thinking "we want pictures of your kiddos" means pictures of children. So... Yeah pretty high chances.

God, I love it when people turn against the mods. I love it even more when the mods try to defend themselves instead of just saying "yeah, we fucked up" and everyone dogpiles them. Dude literally could've just said "I wasn't the one who put that in the application, but I am the one who removed it. It was a weird question and I have no idea why it was even there."

At least when @Trombonista fucks up by deleting a thread 2 seconds before it gets interesting she'll own it, I'll mock her a bit, we both sit back in our chairs and think about how much we like each other for a few seconds, and then get back to our respective jobs of shitposting and randomly bullying KF staff, and merging posts/deleting fun threads.
 
So just found out that this thread existed, and what do you know I found a pretty "good" post, it had about 1k comments after an hour of being posted when I archived it, its got about 4k now:

Brother troons out, and either he cuts all communications with the family or the family does (the OP doesn't really make it clear who did it first and mentions both happening). OP is the only one that bothers to talk to him and use the new pronouns/name. She's getting married and her wedding planner parents are willing to pay for the whole thing, as long as OP doesn't invite the brother. They seem strict and overbearing (they planned the husband's proposal even, lol). And to me it seems that the natural but rather unfortunate choice is to go along with them, as not doing so probably means even more drama and possibly getting disowned by the family as well, and I mean having him in the wedding when everyone apparently hates him doesn't sound like a good time either? OP was willing to invite them to a smaller party after as well.

Well Reddit thinks she's at fault and also an evil transphobe herself!! Why, using she/her for a man in a dress you've known your whole life as a man is bAsIc hUmAn DeCenCy and she should simply drop the whole family (AND husband because he agrees with the parents that the brother is in the wrong) and have a Vegas wedding or something to accommodate the janny-in-making. I remind myself that the average Redditor absolutely despises their family and anything traditional already so it's probably an easy choice for them.

Crazy how much Redditors seem to know about the family. I have a hunch that the parents could've just said they disagree with the choice to transition and the brother immediately cut off all contact since that's akin to just beating him bloody nowadays.

Reddit offers to be the support network! I'm sure that's lead to stable human beings before.

God Reddit is unbearable.
 
Posted this in the main reddit thread, but just realized both of the posts in it are AITA so it can go here as well

BF is definitely being a little shit who can't stand a cat, but you should not have pets brushing up against your toothbrush. This poster absolutely has toxoplasmosis.

https://archive.md/rbnII
boy, where do I even start with this one? Well, OP thinks the best way to start is with their pronouns, which gives you an idea of what to expect from the rest of the post.
"OMG YOU'LL NEVER GUESS THE HORRIBLE THING MY PARENTS DID TO ME ON CHRISTMAS! They... BOUGHT ME A SWITCH, JUST LIKE I ASKED FOR!"
She goes on to complain that her other presents were lame (you got a Switch, shut the fuck up kid), but maybe it's because she only asked their parents for three things total, and one of them was money (that's not how Christmas works you greedy little shit), so her parents had no idea wtf to get her. She also complains about the games that came with her switch - apparently a racing one with "real people in it" and "a stupid dragon game".

Here's what this little shit wants us to believe happened when her parents bought the games: "Hey store clerk, direct me to your shittiest bargain bin games. We're rich but we want to get our daughter a TERRIBLE present for no reason."

Here's the more likely story: "Hmm... I'm not a gamer, so I don't know what games are the best, but let me see what looks more promising... All these racing games have cartoon characters on them, it looks like junk made for five year olds. Maybe if we were buying for her little brother... Ah, HERE we go! This one has REAL people and REAL cars! This is probably for older gamers who want something with REAL speed! Let's see, what's this other one... 'Spyro'? I remember hearing that name years ago, if these games are still around even today, clearly they're doing something right. Look, it even says it's three games in one! Our little champ's gonna love these."
If you want a specific game, ASK for it next time. Also, please note that OP literally says she has psychosis in one of the comments.
 
So just found out that this thread existed, and what do you know I found a pretty "good" post, it had about 1k comments after an hour of being posted when I archived it, its got about 4k now:
Huh, an actually half-interesting situation.. but as you said it involves a family and a troon. They'll default to defending it no matter what the situation is. If the husband, the parents, and other guests don't want them around then your hand is forced. Statistically the brother'll be dead before long anyway and is unlikely to have much to leave you.

Not utterly surprising. The place for “intelligent discussion” cannot at all contemplate or even consider nuance and shades of gray and instead immediately defaults to extremes.

Unsurprisingly, this is a great example of Reddit being incredibly hypocritical - in any other case, they always advocate doing what you need to in order to not get disowned by your crappy but wealthy family so you can inherit and shit like that. They've gone on the attack against gay kids who "stupidly" come out to conservative parents, advocate for their straight siblings to refuse to share their inheritance because "that stupid gay made their choice and should've shut the fuck up and stayed in the closet for the rest of their lives!" etc. They have told straight OPs that they're absolutely in the clear to maintain connections and support for and from homophobic parents who kick out and disown their gay siblings because, again, that "stupid gay" should've just stayed in the closet and they don't "owe" their gay sibling support or anything at all. The usual refrain is "it isn't your problem, they should have thought of this before they came out."

But when it's a troon? Oh no, all bets are off! You need to do whatever your troon relative wants you to do, including throwing away your entire family, all current and future monetary and emotional support, your inheritance, who gives a shit, you owe this to your trans sibling! Funny how at all other times, AITA is home of the battle cry of "you don't owe anyone anything!" but when there's a troon involved, you suddenly owe a whole hell of a lot. You should be ready to live homeless on the streets if your trans sibling needs your house more than you do, apparently.

Just really interesting how libertarian and "I got mine, fuck you" Reddit leans until it involves a trans-identified male, and then all of a sudden it turns into "you have to give up your entire life, your family, and all of your money to appease the trans'woman' and make 'her' comfortable!" 🙄
 
I remind myself that the average Redditor absolutely despises their family and anything traditional already so it's probably an easy choice for them.

I’m not a regular on this thread and it’s been probably already mentioned, but the vast majority of post on the subreddit, beside being made up, are just people asking redditors to ditch their families.

Like almost a very single OP seems to be in horrendous and weird situations with abominable relatives, and just needs a little push to escape them.
While almost every comment is someone either bragging about having already burned every bridge or assuring that they would.

Oh, the comment with the line "you think we'd choose your wedding over a human being" reminds me of this amazing AITA post I read.

OP and his wife had his friend and his friend's wife over. Op doesn’t have children, just dogs. Friend does have children. The children were like nine and ten at the time. Maybe I have the ages wrong, but they were at least both past second grade. Not babies or toddlers. This is important.

Somehow the conversation turns to "if the building is on fire and , would you save your dogs or my almost puberty aged children?"

OP is honest and says his dogs. He assumed that the children were old enough to save themselves and he feels he has a responsibility to his dogs who can't understand why the place is on fire.

That was the wrong answer. Friend, friend's wife, and OP's wife got mad at him and the evening ended on a sour term. Wife was still mad at him days later.

Reddit sided against the OP, no matter how many times he told them that the the children were nine and ten (or so) and thus not likely in need of saving. Even the dog lovers were yelling at him over a thought experiment and making huge leaps in judgment about his general character and lack of morals.

It was hilarious, but I think it ended up getting deleted.

That reminds me of another post where a woman was roasted to hell and back because there was a minor house fire and she saved her own toddler but didn't run back into the fire to save her teenaged step-son who lived in the basement with his own separate entrance/exit and was pretty autonomous to the family. She yelled to him that there was a fire and to get out, but apparently she should have left her baby on the sidewalk and run back in to bodily haul out a thirteen (iirc) year old boy who was probably bigger than she was. (Needless to say, the teenage boy got out on his own and was fine.) If I remember right, they ripped her apart extra hard because she stopped on the way out to grab her baby's diaper bag.

The commenters were literally telling the OP (who was the husband and not home at the time of the fire) that his wife had intentionally tried to murder his son and was obviously a violent evil psychopath who wants him dead and he needed to divorce her or have her stoned to death or something immediately before she tries again!!11 It was so disgusting and overwrought. A ten year old can walk out a door by himself, a thirteen year old sure as hell can. You know who can't? Scared, irrational animals that can't understand what's going on. Babies. People are so ridiculous.

ETA: I found the post and it's even more ridiculous than I thought. OP's wife saved their two infant twins and her five year old daughter, then ran back in to get the five year old's literally life saving medicine (insulin). She explicitly called out to the twelve year old boy in the basement that there was a fire and to get out, and was under the impression that he had left on his own. AITA still argues that she intentionally tried to murder the boy and some even try to claim she set the fire herself to kill him because she's just so evil. Needless to say, they fully support the OP in treating his wife like an evil monster and teaching his son that he doesn't have to listen to her "or respect her".

Special bonus points to the comments claiming that OP's wife was "only thinking of herself" when she saved three lives and ran back into an active fire to get life-preserving medication that her T1 diabetic daughter cannot live without. Oh, and she did all of this while suffering extreme traumatic stress due to a past house fire that claimed the lives of two close relatives. All because she reasoned that a twelve year old boy could walk out a door on his own. I hate AITA so frigging much.
