Am I the only one who got that it's a fucking He-Man joke? He/Him, He-Man.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 65 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Ok, but imagine you're a dipshit who wants to be offended by things.

[–] Bgugi@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'm on lemmy, aren't I?

Good for you, since I truly don't understand what is the problem/joke in this picture at all.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 22 points 4 days ago (2 children)

The problem is that the OP might not be joking but rather is just catastrophically dense about how simple words work.

Either that or there's no problem and the replier and I both missed that OP WAS joking, which we really can't know for sure since Poe‘s Law has effectively been rendered moot by the new heights of stupidity circulating everywhere 🤷

Took a gander at their profile. Thought it might've been a dedicated satirical troll at first, but they seem to an earnest piece of shit ragebaiter.

How fragile do you have to be for a movie to be "ruined" by a few seconds of text being shown on screen.

[–] atopi@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

some people think "wokeness" is as bad as fascism

if the text shown on screen revealed that the protagonist that was portrayed good was a nazi, would saying that the film was ruined by that not be a valid opinion?

this is a problem with misinformation/disinformation (and not questioning their held beliefs), not fragility

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 3 days ago

some people think

No. They don't. 🤌🏼

[–] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yeah but I'm going to guess the fact that he uses male pronouns wasn't a big reveal or any part of the plot at all, really.

This is a tiny detail that any sane person would just ignore.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago (1 children)

They want woke? Cast "Price Adam" as a non-binary they/them who is repulsed by his He-Man form, but learns to cope with it to save the world.

Skeletor should be an overly muscled sexy beast of a skeleton. So, no change.

Who keeps hiring this rape-cult leader?

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You guys have been saying "He" "Man"? I've been pronouncing it Heman?!

[–] aesthelete@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Heman likes to visit Yemen.

[–] FoxyFerengi@startrek.website 19 points 4 days ago (1 children)

If my name had a pronoun in it, bet I'd be putting them under my name on everything. Because that's super funny to me

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Herman is running circles around the rest of our names.

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 3 days ago

"who is she taking to?"

"Oh. That's Herman"

[–] hitmyspot@aussie.zone 11 points 4 days ago

Would Herman be she/him?

Oh my god, you’re telling me that He-Man goes by male pronouns? How dare they? Political correctness gone mad.

On an unrelated note, death seems preferable to living in the current timeline. Or is that just me?

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Ah, yes. The totally heterosexual He-Man.

just fucking kill me. I can't be part of this species any more

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Conversely, it's just as much your species, too. Why should nazis, etc. get a free pass? 🤷🏼‍♂️✊🏼

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Nuh uh. Most of the Internet is bots stirring the pot

[–] otter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 days ago

So far, "the Internet" isn't a species. Yet. 🤫

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

I'm reminded of The Summer of 1353 by Flight of the Conchords when I think about He Man.

He/She Shork is next movie.
