Hey. Put that shit away. I'm not experiencing a "bias" because I tried to confirm something I saw in an image macro before I got into a diatribe.
Are you okay? I've never seen you be this pissy on the fediverse before.
E: And because apparently it bears saying, even though I never indicated otherwise, fuck Peta. Seriously don't know how "please make sure the thing you're arguing about is worth arguing about" made me a Peta apologist. I've literally never met anyone, even online, who liked that organization.
What I find shocking is you assumed the "before" image wasn't shopped!
I went looking for evidence it was real and just found a bunch of people claiming it was from 2008, no snopes article (which shocked me) and a bunch of people on reddit saying it was teal but very outdated and to argue about something recent.
But both of y'all saw a post that was edited and treated the "before" as real. Remarkable
I understand why this is frustrating and am not trying to take that from you, but thought you'd enjoy knowing that the last old lady who I confronted about calling my girlfriend as my girlfriend (in the platonic sense) was genuinely confused about my irritation, since "isn't that the best part of having a girlfriend instead of a boyfriend? That they're also your best friend? I always thought you two really got that part right."
It's some arethestraightsokay stuff (and happened in like 2004) but I thought it might give you a smile.
"Started?" Here in Tennessee we never stopped calling each other girlfriend.
But as others said, "Partner." I use it to talk about my boyfriend (since I'm a well-known demi person locally and the sex of whoever I'm with can be a massive question mark.)
It's so weird. It plays more like they're in a relationship but they both have a sibling incest kink!
Actually if you watch it with that in mind it's weirdly wholesome. You do you, freaks. Glad you found each other.
...now off to call my boyfriend "bro" and see what happens.
E: I said, "I'm gonna take a nap, bro," and he looked confused and told me that was a good idea (since we have Pathfinder later). Guess it's not his thing!
What a fantastic resource!
