At the risk of losing brain cells, I'm extremely curious what her reasoning is here.

Is it just cause it's childish? Is shaming men for liking childish things not enforcing toxic masculinity?

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 122 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If Cindy is commenting on him liking something she considers childish, then Cindy is indeed a bitch.

But if she’s commenting on his apparent expectation that it be free for men in their twenties as if he’s owed something, that I can kinda see her point.

Would be nice if she made her point in a way in which her meaning could be clearly understood.

[–] BarticusR@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (3 children)

He didn't say that it shouldn't also be free for other subsets of society.

Sorry the government doesn't have the funds to subsidize go-kart rides. That money has already been sent to Argentina.

[–] baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

free and mandatory for all the drivers that drive significantly below the speed limit, and they have to compete and earn a rank to be let out again

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 8 points 2 months ago

Guess I'm gonna start being chronically late for work....just like the poor fucks stuck behind me! Free go karting here I come!

"Engagement"

[–] wischi@programming.dev 29 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Maybe because he advocates for something to be free for men instead of everybody?

[–] DancingBear@midwest.social 5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is saying tampons should be free for women toxic femininity?

[–] Glytch@lemmy.world 23 points 2 months ago (2 children)

As a guy, I biologically need to go-kart once a month.

I'm just curious how she expects us to educate ourselves about this.

[–] zarkanian@sh.itjust.works 33 points 2 months ago

The feminist literature on go-karts does seem to be a bit thin.

It's definitely related.

Not exactly childish, but usually you can apply it more broadly as a man enjoying something that isn't seen as outwardly productive.

The red flag I see is the word “Caucasian” in his username.

[–] LaserTurboShark69@sh.itjust.works 25 points 2 months ago (4 children)

Perhaps it's just to avoid confusing him with other varieties of Jameses out there

maybe hes from the Caucasus

I suspect it’s a joke based on The Office. Oe of the main characters is a Triscuit-American called Jim. There is a different character called Asian Jim. Caucasian James = white Jim.

If you do things that bring you joy, frequently, you're less likely to become all festery and bitter, angry goblin.

I struggle to see what Cindy's getting at, it's ridiculous, of course, but I'm still curious and can't imagine in my wildest dreams, why, because someone wants socialism and she's brainwashed to believe capitalism is the only way? I don't get it.

[–] Kimjongtooill@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I think it might have something to do with him only wanting it specifically for men.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 months ago

All he did was creatively say he likes go karts.

Educate yourself in what? Men shouldn't be allowed to enjoy themselves? Happy guys are red flags? What's the problem?

[–] NikkiDimes@lemmy.world 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, I guess the entitlement, but also it's a twitter shitpost lol

Cindy's one of those arseholes that thinks age-appropriate applies to leisure activities , isn't she?

Unless the guy in question is responding to a free sanitary products post, then he can eat my entire flatulent arsehole

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If anything, it's more age appropriate to drive a go-kart in your 20's than as a child. It's a car. You have to be 16-18 to drive a car. Just because it's a very small car shouldn't change that. 😤

[–] Crashumbc@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago (6 children)

Found the person upset at getting passed by all the 12 year olds because they weigh half as much.

:p

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm too big to even fit in them 😩

I remember not being able to reach the pedals on the cars at the Disneyland Autobahn. Now, I can just lift the car and carry it with me.

Fuck you cindy.

The HR lady at work was telling me about her husband's sweet ass jeep that's all modded and lifted and whatnot. Then she said that she can't drive it because she can't drive stick and its the one thing she let's him have. I feel bad for the poor dude, he must be miserable.

[–] Hupf@feddit.org 8 points 2 months ago

Can't have men having fun.

Women like go karts too, Todd!

That's why Cindy is ending up as lonely old hag , no joy what so ever

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Normalize people doing things they enjoy.

[–] Marshezezz@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Cindy really talks a lot of shit for looking like that

[–] stray@pawb.social 8 points 2 months ago

I'm sure there are plenty of very nice women who look similar to Cindy. When you attack her appearance, you're accidentally attacking them also.

I assumed it’s a troll account, but she appears to be real. And from BC. And such a stereotypical representation of BC, I’m back to questioning whether or not it’s a troll account.
