Shark: noms a shark
Pattern-seeking brain worm: this says a lot about society
Humans: “this says a lot about society”How “inspirational”, now let’s reverse genders & see how many of you lose your marbles
It’s almost like memes are based on context… The reason it’s impactful is because in humans it’s rare to see women be the more powerful sex, it’s rare to see women kill men. Flipping the genders wouldn’t flip the context of the the social norms that the meme is dependent on.
Everything I see reminds me of her.
Stop. FUCKING.
TOUCHING. ME.
MONCH
Yeah I’m sure it has nothing to do with these two huge animals being locked up in a tiny pool.
Fuck this animal torture carnist bullshit.
Sandtiger sharks cannibalize eachother before they are even born. They’re a popular aquarium species and do very well in captivity, including successful captive breeding programs. They very rarely consume their fellow tank mates. Edit : Different species, not a courtship failure, Aquarium staff attributes this to territorial aggression, or an accident bump 'n bite which became a whole meal.
There is also incredible value in having ambassador animals that can inspire the public to care for their natural environment and see them as species worth preserving and making sacrifices for. This animal looks well fed, in good health, and free from spinal deformities that are common with inadequate health and nutrition for this species. I think your concerns are mostly unfounded here.
Yet they are still locked up for the enjoyment of us humans.
People are not inspired to care for their environment, they can watch them in a zoo or aquarium and they don’t want to eat less meat/fish and stop ordering junk on Temu.
Some endangered animals can be protected in captivity, which is dumb because we are the reason they are endangered in the first place, but stop putting them on display. Just like the humans species, other animals also do not belong in cages.
A lot of animals in the free world where females eat the males especially after sex or absorb him after is pretty common.
Just figured if you’re gonna be an animal lover you should know this by now.
“Ate hirm“? Wtf are they censoring?
At this point it seems like they’re just throwing around asterisks for ragebait. The algorithm probably figured out that posts containing an asterisk get more engagement, so now they pretty much have to throw it in there to get attention. It’s annoying…
I really hope there comes a day where all this nonsense builds up and finally ends with “algorithms” imploding on themselves.
An unrealistic hope, but a hope nonetheless.
I believe unnecessary censorship has become a cheap way to increase engagement
I can*t believe it has come to this.
It’s not even censorship, they replaced ’ with *, but it’s still for the same reason. Every person who has ever done that, conscious misspelling and censorship for engagement, deserve a lead fist to the face.
There’s no ’ in “him”…
That*s the worst part of it
You just gotta put it in yourself, like this:
Hi’m
Now you try
Hiom, the sound the shark made when biting another shark.
But they didn’t censor male

Ate his majesty the patriarchal the king of the rim
Funny how it’s “inspirational” when the victim’s a man - but we’d all agree it’s a tragedy if the roles were reversed.
You don’t get to dismiss sexism by saying “just a joke bro” That same joke would be seen as highly offensive if the genders were reversed.
A large aspect of humor is a reverse of expectations. The reason this is funny and the reverse is not is because the meme is the reverse of the social normative of humans. Men kill more women, men are bigger and stronger than women, men have more social power than women.
Your accusations of sexism rings hollow when you actually use logic and apply the situation to the realities of our actual societal structure.

Buddha never said that and would never say that! I’ll find you and I’ll fight you!!! >:((((
Don’t harass women. If that part was reversed you’d defend it. Pretty important point you conveniently dropped from the joke to make men a victim. STOP HARASSING EVERYTHING. STOP IT.
According to you, men cannot be victims. Got it
Stop harassing women.
Honestly people act shocked that the younger generation of males in the world are conservative but this is what they see on a daily basis.
I’m all for feminism and equality but if you have to put someone down to lift yourself up that’s not helpful for anyone.
I’d put a lot more blame on the grifters purposely aiming to radicalise boys
Let’s not lie & pretend as if the “radicalization” (as you decided to call it) was created in a vaccuum
By grifters you mean the only people willing to say that it’s okay for men to be men? Gee, I wonder why young men go to them rather than the ones telling them to man down.
No. We mean people like andrew tate. These guys aren’t men, They’re assholes. They don’t teach you how to be “men”, they teach you how to be assholes.
No real man thinks he’s “high-value” and definitely doesn’t think women are worth less or deserve to be treated like shit.
That’s not real men, that’s assholes.
And yes, I’m gatekeeping the term “Man”.
I’m not defending Andrew Tate here. My point is that when there is nobody else for these young men to look up to then they go to the only ones available.
Name one good male role model you approve of.
Bob Ross
Steve Irwin
Bill Nye
Alton Brown
Sam Reich
Brenon Lee Mulligan
Ify Nwadiwe
Matt Mercer
Jazza (Josiah Alan Brooks)Likely your dad/uncle/older brother, or a friend’s dad/uncle/older brother
A teacherJust from the top of my mind I find Hank Green to be a pretty good role model
Those grifters are also misandric, e.g: pro-draft
The point is that who do you expect the young men to go to? The only people willing to speak up for them are the types of Andrew Tate, Joe Rogan, Jordan Peterson, Jocko Willink, David Goggins etc. Can you name a male role model you approve of?
Trevor from CityCrusher, Prometheus or superman
You kidding, right? I almost said that Aragorn doesn’t count as they’re a fictional character.
It’s not okay to harass women. Stop defining that as a male feature. Gross.
Don’t act as if I said somethig I didn’t only because it’s then easier to argue against.
The shark was harassing her.
She said stop in animal language.
If you are personalizing this: you are the problem. You are not a victim.
Lmao at “The shark was harassing her”.
These sharks have brains the size of a pea, they only acted on instinct, the male because he felt a procreation need and the female because sharks see everything as food that moves.
Humans are wildly different, we have recreational thoughts and can restrain our actions. That‘s good because males are on average much stronger than females and would absolutely force themselves on them if they had no moral compass.
This kind of content is what pushes them to those grifters though.
What pushes people to grifters is reading endless, pointless internet arguments where neither side is compromising.
This is how we all learned to socialize, in bullshit threads like this, and this is why all you young people are so fucking lonely.
Radicalisation on one side always leads to radicalisation on the other, ending up with both sides using the other’s ridiculous fringe ideas as justification for their own.
And it all starts from people reading the endless, pointless, contention-filled threads like this, where two sides are arguing bitterly about nonsense, not giving in an inch, and not resolving anything.
What do you mindless drones out there think this is doing to your brain? Has anyone of any gender been helped by reading any of these stupid arguments about sharks and bears?
The answer is no. The younger generation who was raised by these terrible posts and terrible, wastes-of-time arguments and persecution olympics is desperately, chronically ALONE.
So yah, lets all just keep stirring this soup of loneliness as we all train ourselves to stop socializing like humans and view everything through the lense of internet arguments. I’m sure it will start to show positive impact annnnny day now.
There was no radicalization on the other side.
There definitely was.
Cyberbullying german girls because the german word “digga” sounds similar to “nigger” and unironically advocating that germans shouldn’t use words that sound similar to slurs in english because “they should be responsible and avoid hurting others”.
Or tankies simping for the mass murder of “anti-revolutionaries” in the USSR or the PRC
WHY WOULD YOU HARASS A WOMAN THOUGH. Consequences of harassing a person after they asked you to stop is a weak ass to threaten to be a conservative. Bad reasoning. That’s just being aggressive and gross.
Yeah, several pieces of media that brought women prominently to a franchise that was lacking and my thought was that it seemed like a good direction.
Then half the time they go off on how a man would be too dumb, too selfish, or too violent to ever come up with such a good idea as the women. Often making the established male characters uncharacteristically dumber than usual to give the women time to shine.
Have the women, have then be strong, smart, independent. Don’t take frequent opportunities to take potshots at men in general. I know media has been doing this to women for decades, and it may be gratifying to turn things around for a change, but it’s just not great.
Exactly. It’s literally no surprise if you see how the woke left talks about men. Like what do we expect young impressionable boys to do? Lean into that and bear it or listen to the grifter asshats that tell them thats crazy and they are fine? I’m not saying it’s correct because it’s not, but that’s why this happened.
There’s a legitimate conversation to be had because of course patriarchical systems oppress men, but you can’t expect anyone to listen to that when everyone’s first brush with the people who want to change it is shit like this.
Like what do we expect young impressionable boys to do?
Not bump into women repeatedly? What behaviour are you trying to defend here that is being attacked?
Killing people because of their sex? You dip shit
Tell them it’s not ok to harass women. Start with that. Hardly left leaning to ask a person to stop going out of their way to make women feel uncomfortable. Stop making that a male feature. It’s gross. This. This is where the problem is starting. You are not a victim if you harass a woman and don’t get away with it. Stop being gross.
Educate your sons that in the fish world this is pretty common for female fish to eat male especially after breeding and has no political standing. This isn’t to encourage women to hurt men. It’s fact over feelings. please stop radicalizing men over building this into misinformation.
Watch a documentary or two once in a while.
Someone else made the argument that this is common in other species but that argument goes out the window with the comment made in this picture.
They deliberately made this about feminism and that’s what I’m referring to here.
I’m not some fuckin moron who thinks the female shark ate the male because “girl power”
Meanwhile Incels constantly complain that “you can’t joke about anything”…
Well technically she ate the male shark cuz he was harassing her.
And feminism has come a long way of defending women as not being property to be harassed.
Eh, you’re a hopeless case. Back to the r/femaledatingstrategy forum with you, thanks!
Put the gun down incel.
So many young men are turning into conservatism not because of femenism but because of the patriarchy. They keep being told men have to do this and that to be real men (men don’t cry, men are the bread winners, househusbands are bad, men don’t talk about feelings etc) And you know what? They feel like there is no one to stand up for them and they start seeing the movement that is fighting against all these things in the name of women as their enemy and lash out against it and fall into the words of grifters.
Of course there are a bunch of femcels, terfs etc. that call themselves femenist that bastardize the movement by trying to put women over men or even all genders. Instead of taking the hand of these men and help them fight these old norms and start normalizing the extistence of househusbands and housewives. Make it ok for men to show feelings and fighting for actual equality.
So if you are a secure man and actually care for the future you should not be fighting but be supporting femenism.
I’m so sorry you’re getting downvoted. The fact that your comment currently has more downvotes than upvotes – for making accurate statements and supporting feminism – reflects why women don’t stick around on Lemmy. I think it’s time for me to leave too; I don’t want to be part of a community where this many men are anti-feminist. These guys should really take a class on feminism, sex, and gender studies.
Good lord, it’s a joke. I bet you are an incel
Mean people like you truly puzzle me. How someone can actually get pleasure from saying hurtful things to complete strangers online is something I find deeply mysterious.
Psychotic People who reason a man who harasses a woman is somehow a victim and goes on a diatribe about their masculinity being threatened is what puzzles me. Don’t harass women. It’s not ok to harass women.
It’s funny to me because when an incel bothers me I sure would like to sic a shark on them.
Female animals eat males pretty frequently in the animal world especially with fish. It’s not a political standing.
This is what makes it political
Ok want political?
Cuz let’s not forget this Shark was harassing her.
So the big question here is: why are you personalizing this? Are you set out to harass women to the point there are consequences and then act a victim?
Cuz this is what I’m seeing. Incels up in here trying to play a victim after doing something bad and experiencing a world where there are consequences to bad actions.
That looks like the part that makes it a joke to me
