CW: Pretty much all the comments are vitriollically anti-LGBT. Proceed with caution.

Just to be clear: I saw this meme over at Lemmy Shitpost and had to repost it here...

The back of a tshirt that says:

"MY WIFE COMPLAINS I NEVER LISTEN TO HER ...

... or something like that."

fun fact: when typing the title of this post, my autocorrect tried to tell me i meant to say “real auto shop” when i said relationship, but honestly that would also probably appl

Purpose

This community serves to highlight toxic heteronormativity. This isn't "LGBTQ people hating on straight people", this is "(some) straight people post/say these things and we don't understand why they're celebrating this? this is creepy."

This was formed because when I switched to Lemmy, I missed r/AreTheStraightsOK from reddit.

Examples of content to post here:

• memes about "lol i hate my wife amirite whos with me fellas"
• memes about "haha you can't be happy because you're married, and as a married person myself, i can assure you that we're all trapped in these relationships, LMAO"
• pictures of "omg look at this! my toddler is so hilarious! I've put him in a onesie that says 'mothers, lock up your daughters!' or talking about SUCKING ON TITTIES, or whatever other way i'm putting WHOLESOME sexual content on my baby. BTW did you know that gay people are sexualizing our children BY MERELY EXISTING?"
• etc. any sort of "haha this is funny b/c this is 'normal' for straight people, even if its incredibly fucked up"

Rules

1. Despite the name, this is not an anti-hetero community; "The Straights" in the name is short for "people with confusing, creepy, and unhealthy heteronormative ideas who think it's funny to post those awful opinions". This means:
   • This is EXPLICITLY NOT a Heterophobic or Hetero-hate sub.
   • Heterosexual people ARE EXPLICITLY WELCOME HERE. Plenty of straight people find toxic heteronormativity disgusting as well, and they are absolutely a valid part of this community.
   • It's toxic heteronormativity that we are against, not heterosexual people in general.
2. Be nice and respectful, OR ELSE. This means:
   • any hateful content will be removed.
   • any personal attacks will be removed.
   • any kind of disrespect towards another poster will be removed.
   • this is a zero-tolerance policy.
   • intellectual discussion is OK, but this is not the place to defend toxic heteronormativity. "This is normal because we ALL do this" is almost guaranteed to be an unwelcome statement here.

I'll add more rules if needs be, but if the above isn't common sense to you, that's the first sign you don't belong in this community.

wtf is wrong with straight people "joking" about hating their happy married lives?

I complained this community doesn't exist here, people told me to make it, so i did.
