Is making sense a requirement in this community?
You seem like you're getting offended.
I'm just trying to understand how to relate to the post in any way. I just don't understand how. I'd like to understand what your thoughts are while posting this. That's all. ๐คทโโ๏ธ I don't mean any harm.
I'm defintely not offended in any way, shape or form. Sometimes things just happen, y'know?
And... What happened?
Shitposting?
From what I can tell it's possible that the OP may have some trauma or at the very least past negative experiences with egg culture. I can neither confirm nor deny this though as I'm not the OP, I am basing it off my own negative experiences with egg culture.
For those not in the know egg culture is the phenomenon around Egg_irl, it's the idea that people are transgender without knowing it, or are in denial. The problematic part is that it also targets people who are Gender Non-Conforming (GNC) because it heavily utilizes gender stereotypes.
If that is the case they might have a completely valid reason for why they posted it or are vibing with it and are not sharing it because they feel like people are going to call them an egg or harass them again, but they wanted to share it because they thought other people might enjoy it.
Here's a sample of what Egg culture harassment looks like by the way, just to give an idea for people who haven't experienced it (count yourselves lucky), fair warning, it's unpleasant.
Toxic Egg culture, Enbyphobia, probably is harassment.
"I'm saying you're an Egg because you seem to have an interest in dressing as something other than your AGAB, you're obviously not Cisgender. People can be either Male or Female and you're clearly not male, because males don't enjoy things like that if you keep lying to yourself you'll never be happy"I could understand why the op might be a bit more on edge then they otherwise would be if they experienced egging like this.
Interesting. So the theory is that all humans are trans? Is that correct?
I think mostly it's the idea that people* who break gender stereotypes (or are thought to break gender stereotypes) are trans, I don't think it necessarily implies that everyone is trans, I've seen people who claim that and act like it but for the most part it's based on lack of adherence to gender stereotypes.
(*Most of the times this doesn't include women who dress in a masculine way, tomboys getting egged definitely does happen, but it's not as common since women dressing masc has been established as a normal thing.)
I find the whole thing insane. It basically ignores the fact that behavior is fluid. Traits are individual and fluid. Humor is fluid. Everything about our behavior is fluid. You can be "camp af" and still be straight, and "butch af" and still be gay. And that's just scratching the surface.
Yeah the whole idea of egg culture is very weird and restrictive. It imposes unnatural restrictions on people for how they should act and implies things about them that might not be correct and in many cases aren't that other person's bussiness (who are they to judge what gender a person is on the inside when they don't even really know that person).
The problem isn't that they're asking a question! I do not think it's wrong to want to understand things. In this case however the meaning is what it says on the tin. I'm not trying to be coy or disrespectful to those who ask questions.
It's a vibe, some people will feel it and others won't. Do not be afraid of asking questions. I'm just personally vibing with the picture. I'm a cis straight man who thinks "dressing as a pink rabbit girl in your home" is relatable. Not because I do it, mind you. I do not think dressing as a bunny in your home is even a queer behavior necessarily, though it can be to other humans.
I honestly believe I gave the asker as close to a personal answer to their question as I could by not outright saying anything. Because I do not have any other relation to this picture than I found it and vibes with it. Doesn't need to be any more than that. Labels are just things we put on ourselves. Humans are quirky and unique as individuals. Nothing more to it.
Genuinely, sincerely, I vibed with the picture and reposted it because I assumed others would to. In the way I did, or in some other way. It's a shitpost and doesn't mean anything more to me.
