Ok as a lesbian I just want to say that this is not a Lollapalooza specific thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

i know! It's so disrespectful that these places get so much attention, but there are so many! Let's list all the places that gather this outrageous attention!
Renaissance festivals usually have a very lively adults only section in the primitive camping area.
Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.
Dame here. It kind of sucks and isn't worth going to more than a couple of times unless you have a giant wad of cash burning a hole in your wallet. They have permanent buildings and all of the acts and shops are the same every year.
Dame here.
Ah yes. Her Excellency, Dame lyrial.
I am leaving this fortunate typo :p

I used to go to one of those. It has a lot going for it in terms of live acts, but basically it's always the same. I stopped once I realized I was paying for the privilege of attending a Medieval Times themed shopping mall.

Well typically it's a performance for other lesbians not straight guys so if you're in the scene you'll find out...
Did you just assume my gender? cause... what gave it away? Was it the blatant disrespect for anything other than my own needs?
Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you're punching down.
Is it lesbian mud wrestling or is it sparkling same-sex sexy grappling? Trying to figure out if WWE is gay platform wrestling by the same definitions
I know a lot of gay pro wrestling fans.
In sumo, Ichiyamamoto literally has a life sized poster of Wakatakakage in his bedroom (they're the same age).
Wait are you saying lesbians as a whole will just see a pile of mud and have a intrinsic urge to wrassle?
I prefer being beaten with a stick by a beautiful girl, personally, but yes, many lesbian flirtation displays involve relatively stupid relatively low stakes violence.
Just like many straight courtship displays.
Yeah the stupid, silly, and more adventurous flirtation is usually in certain types of space, but when I see it happening I feel so at home. Two girls making eyes at each other over a stupid feat of strength or toughness or whatever else gets me to let my guard down

Im glad were still doing fun things
spoiler
They kiss at the end.
the world is healing ❤️
How is this news? Isn’t this a normal, scheduled event at lollapalooza? I haven’t been in a very long time, but… Isn’t this normal?
Iirc, there’s a whole schedule of mud wrestling events

90% of the peole watching... women.
Well. They did say lesbian.
If men are mud wrestling, I say "wack his nards"
If women are mud wrestling, I say "take her top off"
NGL. Everyone's going to cheer when they happen
I'd argue that both go against the spirit of the game.
Maybe the nut slapping, but taking off top during mud wrestling is a perfectly reasonable way to get advantage for all genders and non binary

They look like they're having so much fun!
I'll be in my bunk.
This is the Insta reel (I don't think it's necessary to read the article, and that site is full of trackers - yes, more than Instagram).
The audience really do feel like they're performing to camera rather than genuinely having fun 😥

Time to dust off this classic:
This thead is useless without pics.
When I was young: “These events seem lame.”
Now: “These events are lame and my back hurts.”
When I was young: “These events seem lame.”
Now: "I should go to Lollapalooza."
Then: This isn't as much fun as I thought it would be. Kinda boring.
Now: I'm glad they're having enjoying themselves, and I'm glad I'm not there.
This isn't normal?
Are you sure???
