You Don't Matter, Give Up.

Welcome to "You Don't Matter, Give Up."

This community is inspired by the concept of text that conveys opposite messages when read in a different manner. While it shares similarities with !dontdeadopeninside@lemmy.ohaa.xyz and !nosafetysmokingfirst@sh.itjust.works in that all of these play with the idea of misreading text, YDMGU specifically focuses on phrases that can be read in both directions, with each interpretation being valid and opposites of each other.

Important Note: This subreddit is not a place for discussions about suicide or self-harm. If you or someone you know is struggling with these feelings, we urge you to seek help. Please visit !suicidewatch@lemm.ee or reach out to appropriate resources for support. Because you matter, don't give up.

I think the idea was that "donut" "do not".

Makes me think of the DARE pencils that said "It's not cool to do drugs" which, as they were sharpened, would eventually say "cool to do drugs" and then "do drugs".

That's how I became a carpet muncher

Aww yeah. That's the stuff.

Guessing the one next to it is "You Moustache (must ask) for consent," so I guess maybe it makes more sense in the context of all these other puns

I don't quite get it either, but then I recently didn't get people sabotaging bombs, so that might be on me.

Those who sexually assault others are rewarded with doughnuts

[–] coldsideofyourpillow@lemmy.cafe 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Does it also work the other way around? Can I offer someone doughnuts to sexually assault me?

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 3 points 2 days ago

If you're the one offering, it's not assault, so they shouldn't even get the donut

[–] taco@piefed.social 15 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Must. not. obey. the rape donut...

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

He’s gonna fuck that donut

[–] taco@piefed.social 6 points 2 days ago

Yes, yes I am. I'll still eat it when I'm done though.

Well the good news is the concept of "consent" is being talked about, if somewhat imperfectly.

Back In The Day there was no concept of consent. Even in the courts. That's the whole "you were wearing these clothes so you wanted to be attacked" thing. Which we just saw in the headlines the other day from some evangelical chud or other (or was it a judge? Whatever).

“You can do anything, the left will promote and understand and tolerate anything, as long as there is one element. Do you know what it is? Consent.”

“If there is consent on both or all three or all four, however many are involved in the sex act, it’s perfectly fine, whatever it is. But if the left ever senses and smells that there’s no consent in part of the equation then here come the rape police. But consent is the magic key to the left.”
