If all gingerbread people are men, then they’re all gay.

[–] ExfilBravo 16 points 1 year ago

It's just the "big gay pile" from South Park but in a bag.

And right next to that: CHEEZ-ITS. "IT". MY CHRISTIAN GRANDMOTHER WOULD ROLL OVER IN HER GRAVE TO LEARN HOW CHEEZ-HIMS ARE BEING TREATED

They brought the product, took it home, scribbled on it like a cereal killer, placed it in their cupboard and took a picture of it..... Just to own those woke liberal companies.....

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I highly doubt anyone who'd do that would actually shop at a Trader Joe's. They probably heard about it on Parler and braved exposure to the Woke Mind Virus™ for clout

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The fools! Don't they know that exposure to other people, ideas and supermarket products ensures transmission of the Woke Mind Virus?!

Their kids may already be gay

Kid: Mom, what’s falafel?

Mom: Conversation therapy for you.

Me going to the erotic bakery: "I would like one androgynous gingerbread person please."

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (3 children)

These are the right's version of people who go to Barnes and Noble and put the Bibles in the fiction section.

[–] jopepa 16 points 1 year ago (4 children)

OMG they crossed out everything but “white” ? Fucking degenerates.

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

They underlined men.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They were trying to be subtle!

[–] jopepa 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet they’ll say they were just underlining with reckless abandon but we know better.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed, having an easy excuse that it was just an unintentional misunderstanding is how racist dog whistles work.

I assume it is intentional because of the context too.

[–] stevestevesteve 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

They didn't cross out trader Joe's, mini, gingerbread, gingerbread, with, icing, either... They didn't even really cross out cookies or fudge, they just underlined men. So no, they didn't "cross out everything but white"

[–] jopepa 1 points 1 year ago

In the reference section of the Library of Memes. An old tome almost calls to you. You pull it down, coughing in the cloud of dust it’s collected. Laying it on a table it opens to a weathered dog eared page almost as if the book’s spine knows. Between incomprehensible matrices of inside jokes long forgotten and dead hyperlinks to Rick Astley are two words that bring a sudden rush of clarity and understanding almost lost to ages. “Fuck Steve”

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I thought it was supposed to just cross out fudge, I thought "white icing" was a cum joke lol.

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

“If they’re men then they should prove it. Let’s see what’s between those legs. I want to see a whole lotta swingin’ sausage before I’ll eat a cookie. Mmm yes.”

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

Gingerbread men with no penises. So fragile they've inadvertently supported trans men. Good job, y'all.

Meanwhile, Star Trek Online be like:

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

they should just avoid anthropomorphic baked goods altogether if they're worried about the ginger bread man's junk

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

They have no-knead.

I like how he says it was his daughter because he knows people would make fun of him if he admitted to doing it.

[–] FlyingSquid 1 points 1 year ago

Gotta love a guy who throws his own kid under the bus to protect his fragile ego.

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

Randy's daughters are all about that ginger dick ..

[–] nifty 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I don’t get the cultural obsession with this. Why would I want a cookie to be personified as someone and have that symbol be eaten and made to shit? I don’t think calling cookies ginger people is inclusive, and I don’t think calling cookies ginger men is offensive or wrong.

Edit: also a ginger man cookie sounds kinda hot, whether you’re gay or straight. Just sayin

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

It isn't about personifying the cookie, at least for me. It's tiring that the world is so often "male" by default, and this is an (extremely minor) example of that. I understand that most people are probably less bothered, and that's fine. Cookies aren't really that important, and I'm not the one scribbling on boxes.

What I don't understand is why it's a problem to change the name. Why is it so important that they be gingerbread men? The cookies don't even look gendered. They're just vague human shapes. And if it's so important that we have gingerbread men, why don't we have any other genders?

I agree with you that a gingerbread gender_of_choice sounds hot, but not if the cookies are just boring basic-ass human shapes, and not if there's only one gender actually made. If that's the way we're gonna go, I'll have 3 gingerbread butches, 3 gingerbread enbys with rainbow frosting and glitter, and 3 gingerbread catgirls with blåhajs. And yes, I will be eating them all in one sitting, so throw in a 25 count variety pack of gingerqueers to share.

[–] Drivebyhaiku 1 points 1 year ago

Okay "gingerqueers" made me snicker.

[–] GlitterNinja 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You’re right. Why isn’t there representation of brunette-bread and blonde-bread people?
