I cant escape it. Im a gamer, im in a few gaming groups . I am SO tired of pick mes coming to GAMING groups to complain about their shitty low value boyfriends. They constantly talk about their boyfriends, positive or negative.
What i saw that caused me to come out of my FDS slumber was a woman talking about what recipes her boyfriend likes IN A GAMING GROUP. Nobody fucking cares what some random scrote likes to eat.
I also so see bragging posts like "look at the gaming gear my bf bought me!", "my bf bought me a battle pass! 😝". But dont you call this out because then you will be labelled jealous.
And dont even get me started on the women and trans women (i personally believe shouldnt even be in a group for women. defeats the purpose of a womens only group) that clog up the feed with selifes. It makes no sense. Most of them arent lesbians so i KNOW this is a result of patriarchy praising women who objectify themselves.
Its so disappointing to see. I wanna interact with women who have similar interests as me but far too many are pickmes that make their boyfriends their entire personality. Its so bad in vent groups too. Whether on reddit or facebook, 99% of posts are pickmes complaining about their shitty boyfriends but then getting upset when you tell them to leave.
I cant escape it in person either. My best friend ive known since elementary school is lowkey a pick me too. She talks about sex with her bf nearly every time i or she reaches out and she brags about "bagging" a cute older guy when really shes dating an abusive GROOMER.
This dude wont let me or anyone talk to my friend alone on the phone unless he's there and he starts getting aggressive so she can hurry up and hang up the call. It was so sad watching her life get consumed with this asshole because she met him at a very vulnerable time in her life at age 17. This scrote was nearly 30 when she first met him.
As much as i want to help her she just changes the subject when i imply she deserves better. Women are taught to hate themselves and only validate themselves off their standing with men, it really sucks 😭
FDS is the only space that keeps me grounded and from losing my sanity in this male centered society. Youll never see men go this hard for the women in their lives.
Gaming is a red flag on its own
