I don't know... seems expensive. In my experience, my face is more than enough and I got that for free.

No king your face is not as effective as the truck it has 100% to a face rate is 50% at best

[–] msantossilva@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I saw one in person for the first time yesterday. I didn't think it was possible, but it is even uglier in person. I had to look at the driver to see what kind of person would buy that and to see if he felt shameful.

[–] cheesymoonshadow@lemmings.world 1 points 2 years ago

So what did the driver look like?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

We saw one in person last week and couldn't stop laughing at how ridiculous it looked.

Funnily enough, in the military they have those big thick glasses they call BCG which stands for "Birth Control Glasses"

They're shit cars but gatekeeping manhood is even shittier

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hmm. Normally I'd be inclined to agree, but this really doesn't feel like it's punching at men or manliness. It's more just saying no one will find you attractive if you have a cybertruck. And we all know you can be a man as well as completely unfuckable at the same time.

"You will not get laid" is sorta the basic insult directed at men.

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Only because we associate sexuality and "getting laid" with manhood. They aren't the same. Are asexual men less men? No one's gatekeeping manhood in this image, they're gatekeeping sexuality.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

But we do associate it with manhood. Until we move on from that mindset, it is an attack on someone's manhood

[–] LeFantome@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We are not moving on today apparently, though a few above tried.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well I wouldn't have expected us to make a societal change in a day

[–] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Societal change starts with the individual. If one person today has changed their views, it's a step.

[–] Kusimulkku@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm not doubting that, I'm just saying "we" as a society still associates the ability to get laid with manliness. And that's not changing anytime soon

[–] PanArab@lemm.ee 1 points 2 years ago

It is not gatekeeping manhood, buying a Cybertruck is a clear sign that the man lacks common sense and has more money than brains, two very important red flags. The only women he will attract are the kind that like men with more money than brains. She is just setting her standards high.

My manhood isnt affected at all by this. The "truck" is definitely shittier.

[–] z00s@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Still doesn't mean that it should be gate kept

[–] anticurrent@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

you mean women are not attracted to rich men, really ?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

A woman married me, so apparently not always.

I saw one with a boat in tow the other day and all I could think about was how much I wished someone would try and use it as a submersible and leave us land dwellers alone.

[–] Stalinwolf@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 years ago

My wife called me two days ago saying "GUESS WHAT'S FUCKING BEHIND ME!". She was nearly home, and told me to run to the front window and look down the street toward the intersecting road. She turned onto our street, and moments later that stupid piece of shit went zooming by on the main road. I couldn't believe it. It was even dumber in person. I was so delighted she helped make that sighting happen, though.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world -1 points 2 years ago

To me, the Cybertruck looks like someone put a fiberglass shell over an El Camino for a bad straight-to-video 1980s Mad Max ripoff.

Like this sort of thing, from the movie appropriately titled Battletruck:
