if the confusion is making you angry youre welcome to come get a hit in on my kid

[–] breadsmasher 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

… again, huh? why is anyone hitting kids. i dont understand

[–] ChadMcTruth 19 points 1 week ago

its only for because sometimes when celebrities on the internet make you mad or when your kid doesnt understand taxes or also when your nephew tries to explain taxes to you

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

Those little shits deserve it.

It is their fault Ariana Grande is looking so incredible

Hey, don't knock it till you tried it

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Don’t knock on it till you’ve knocked it out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

I get knocked down, but I get up again. You're never gonna keep me down.

[–] wahfflez 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

he doesn’t understand taxes. i beat him. get it through ur thick head

[–] ChadMcTruth 10 points 1 week ago

i hit my nephew one time for trying to explain taxes to me

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Are people here actually thinking this is literal/serious? Or am i missing something?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I've noticed a pretty sizable gap in what people can see as obvious internet nonsense versus some kind of serious actual problem.

Like all the comments here making it out to be some kind of weird misogyny. It's just an absurdist shitpost lol

[–] ChadMcTruth 5 points 1 week ago

people arent a monolith sparkles okay both can be true at the same time

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago (3 children)

is this some gen z thing I'm too millennial to understand?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Probably mad at Ariana cause of the whole wicked set relationship drama.

Edit. 2021. Oh. Uhhh. No clue.

Redhead left his wife with child for Ariana iirc.

[–] SgtAStrawberry 1 points 1 week ago

I can see that sparking drama, especially with her also leaving a marriage.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Gen Xer wondering the same thing. The kid hitting thing joke I get, but not what's supposedly making them angry.

[–] Agrivar 5 points 1 week ago

Same here! Commenting because I hope someone clues us all in.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Could it just be as simple as "woman does thing, man is upset?" The kind of man that hits his kids probably also hates women.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Maybe? I'm assuming it's a joke I just don't get.

[–] PlasticExistence 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I don’t get it either, but we’re still on the same page with finding it hilarious when kids get hit, right?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago

No, but I get the dark humor angle.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago

I think it's because she is trying to appear as an Asian woman, and some people are getting mad over this

So these two are mocking the people getting mad

Sincerely,
A Gen Zer

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

I don't get it.

[–] ChadMcTruth 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

i dont even know what shes doing but i assume these men are justified

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 week ago

First picture, taking a shite

Second picture, examining said shite

[–] NickwithaC 8 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Being a woman existing I guess? I don't know. She's not wearing anything outrageous or doing anything crazy or located anywhere for the shoot that would cause alarm to any reasonable person.

I think this photo in particular got alot of backlash because people think she's exaggerating her features to look more Asian. Its not super noticeable, but I think people were sensitive to it because ariana grande has a history of role playing as ethnicities she is not a part of. For example her brown face era when she would often use a blaccent and tanned excessively.

Heres a link to a more in depth reddit discussion about her and her shifting presentation: https://www.reddit.com/r/popheads/comments/ahdxyc/can_we_discuss_arianas_skin_tone_and_the/

Also a YouTube video of her very cringe use of AAVE: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=eLOF7Qaklsw

The whole Spongebob thing isn't a great look. The whole directly insulting the ex-wife of Spongebob who left said ex-wife two months after she gave birth isn't good either. The fact that Spongebob looks like a bobo version of her gay and fantastic brother is just fucking gross.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What on earth are you talking about? Spongebob?

[–] MothmanDelorian 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

so not even from the actual Spongebob Squarepants show, some musical offshoot

do normal people just know this stuff??

[–] MothmanDelorian 1 points 1 week ago

Yes they do if they follow celebrity gossip. This was a big deal as again he looks like a slightly uglier version of her brother and he left his wife 2 months after she gave birth.

[–] aeronmelon 20 points 1 week ago

Ariana Grande wishes she looked as good as a Japanese City Pop artist from the 1980s.
