    we can’t even talk about spiders without someone making jokes about how shitty women are.

    Funny thing coming back to this thread and answering a few more replies about people’s admiration for spiders, it kind of hit me that once you collapse your initial comment about the light-hearted joke, people can actually just talk about spiders. Like all the off topic talk was caused by you and no one else.

    The initial joke is even biologically accurate.

    The cute ones tend to have higher career salaries on average, so they are able to attract female spiders to mate with.

    Not in all, but some (very prominently the “peacock spiders”), the males absolutely have to be cute and perform a literal dance … with a high chance of getting eaten by the female if they don’t live up to her standards.

    So yeah, that joke is actually pretty good if you knew a fucking thing about spider biology. But you had to come here and inject your brand of self-righteous feminism into it. Great job.

      Gold digger jokes are inherently misogynistic. I’m allowed my opinion when someone comments at me with said joke.

      Scolding me isn’t going to change my mind here. Do you feel better though?

            You don’t. But your continued bickering with people brought this thread back up and brought to light some worthwhile comments. Replying to you was more of an after thought (also most “new comments” where located in your thread). But it seems obvious that you’re quite feedback resistant. So you do you.

              I’ve got someone in my ear literally telling me I’m trans when I’m not, people in my DMs arguing that we should elect rapists, mods not removing pedophilic comments about 14 year olds consenting to sex with adults, but yeah, I’m the problem.

              I am quite feedback resistant on this site, yes. I’ve seen what some of the biggest users on this site celebrate. I’m not one to abandon my moral code to get some chuds online to like me.

                That’s cool. But this was a thread about jumping spiders before you brought all the shit into here.

                  Before someone made a misogynistic joke in reply to my comment.

                  I’m allowed my opinion same as everyone else on this site.

                    You sure are. If that is the hill you want to die on, go ahead.
