Translation for the condoms on the left:
Asiatic condoms
I have a suspicion about what they’re trying to say by that, and it’s racist AF.
Not sure exactly what they think their target demographic is for this washroom.
Sorry it’s not really a meme, but I didn’t know where else to post it, and I HAD to share.
And this demographic is known to get their supplies in the basement washroom of a rural gas station?
If the weird thing about the post to you is that these exist, yes it’s common in quebec for all washrooms to have a mix of shitty breath mints, seggsy stuff and hygiene products. They’ve been there as long as gumball machines. Often the crummier the place the more likely you are to see them, especially in 2023.
Also yes, people grabbing condoms on the fly for 2$ a pop in a shitty gas-station have a pretty good overlap with people who grab escorts.
Honestly I’m surprised you can find an escort anywhere near a rural gas stop. Quebec doesn’t disappoint lol
But it was a combination of that, the apparent racism, and regardless of racism the people looking to purchase “Asiatic” condoms at a place like this. I feel like the kind of people who would call them “Asiatic”, the kind of people who would buy an “Asiatic” condom, and the kind of people getting condoms from a washroom in the basement of a gas station, would have very little overlap. I’m not sure if I should be upset or impressed.
You say they don’t have overlap but you don’t say why.
They’re grabbing cheap hookers on the fly, they"ll grab any condom in proximity. Saying “asiatic” is just disingenuous, it’s “asian”. “Oriental” might have been a better choice, but ppl would be too dumb to get it.
It’s not uncommon to pass by a parlor in downtown montreal offering “asian massages”. It adds up, people all over the world, but especially NA associate sex with the orient all the time, like the Kamasutra.
Because, looking at rural stereotypes (as someone who grew up rural Canadian but not rural Quebecois): They’re absolutely racist, so they’d totally use “Asiatic” as a synonym for “small dick”. But they have a fragile ego, so no way would they ever buy “small dick” condoms. So it’d be strange to use that language when selling condoms to that demographic.
I wouldn’t at all be surprised by a washroom in Montreal selling condoms. I expect escorts and sensual massage parlours in Montreal. But I don’t really expect that in Lac St Rienville
What are you talking about? The very first comment at the top of this chain explain it does not say small dick; it says thin condom. Also these machines were all over, like gumballs and cigarette machines, rural or not. They put condoms across the board because that’s what sells the most on average (rural or urbain). It’s also more likely to see those in rural/old places because they haven’t renovated in 50 years or bothered taking them down.
The rest of my comments are based on that. There’s nothing racist about selling a highly sensitive condom from asia, like there’s nothing wrong with american bbq sauce, french bread and italian pasta. Asian massage oils/penis pills/sex positions/massage techniques etc… are a worlwide stereotype / cultural association
I don’t believe that it’s only saying thin. Not only have I never seen thin condoms advertised as “Asiatic” anywhere else in North America, it’s also a really strange way to phrase it.
But even if you’re correct, it’s so easily misinterpreted that it’s still funny.
And even ignoring the condom entirely, it’s still such a funny assortment of sex-stuff to find in a washroom in a basement of a rural gas station. I’m shocked that there’d be such demand for vibrating cock rings here that it’d be worth stocking.
That’s where everyone should be getting their supplies.
