This was one of my favorite subreddits, and I want to see it survive on lemmy.
Community for posting & making fun of memes/boomer-comics made by cishet people about how it’s awful to be in relationship, or have children, or whatever else, also putting inappropriate clothing on children.
Post your “lol ball & chain” “my home boss” “haha i murdered my partner lol because im so frustrated over dishes lmao” memes here, as well as your garden-variety “toddler wearing a ‘mothers, hide your daughters’ onesie” or “” cishet behavior.
… uhhhhhh. Has my reading comprehension degraded that much or is it the language?
Also: Overusing the word “toxic” can make it lose its meaning, can scare people from sharing their thoughts, and might be used unfairly to avoid responsibility.
Heteronormativity is when everyone assumes that everyone else is straight by default. It also normalises behaviors that are considered “straight”.
Toxic heteronormativity is when someone’s heteronormative views makes them act in a toxic way (ex: “if my son is gay, I’ll kick him out”, or stuff like “A guy must like having sex else he isn’t normal”)
So no, it’s not mocking straight people for being straight, but mocking the silly behaviours that come from people taking the stereotypical role off husband and wife way too far.
Hope that explains it better :)
Yes, thank you.
