Sommehow reminds me of this story:

“A senior monk and a junior monk were traveling together. At one point, they came to a river with a strong current. As the monks were preparing to cross the river, they saw a very young and beautiful woman also attempting to cross. The young woman asked if they could help her cross to the other side. The two monks glanced at one another because they had taken vows not to touch a woman. Then, without a word, the older monk picked up the woman, carried her across the river, placed her gently on the other side, and carried on his journey. The younger monk couldn’t believe what had just happened. After rejoining his companion, he was speechless, and an hour passed without a word between them. Two more hours passed, then three, finally the younger monk could contain himself any longer, and blurted out “As monks, we are not permitted a woman, how could you then carry that woman on your shoulders?” The older monk looked at him and replied, “Brother, I set her down on the other side of the river, why are you still carrying her?”

Who's in the wrong here?

Everyone in this thread who is too stupid to realize this is fake rage bait.

[–] polydactyl@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

As is your comment. Rage bait within rage bait. Meta rage bait. Ragebaitception. Ragebaiturducken. I see you.

[–] MadhuGururajan@programming.dev 12 points 6 days ago

Have you ever considered that other people are smart enough to realize it's probably a hypothetical scenario?

Although rude, I appreciate when people tell me outright I'm not a priority for them. So I can adjust my own.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 34 points 6 days ago

Mmm the ragebait tastes so good though I feel righteous and angered

[–] ColonelSanders@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I must be weird, or maybe it's because I used to date someone like Grey, but the impression I got about green is not that they said that because they didn't want to go out anyway, it was that they were glad grey revealed themselves to be uninterested in them even if it was kind of in a sleazeball way, acting like it was just fine to cancel last minute to go be with someone else.

More like green was happy grey pretty much just sent up a red flag and confirmed that they dodged a bullet.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago

Was that not the point we were supposed to take away from this?!

Love your chicken, by the way.

[–] Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Gray does not understand the relief of cancelled plans.

It is literally like being told you can leave work early and still get paid.

[–] chunes@lemmy.world 33 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I don't get why people are confused about this.

Grey was horrible human being first. Green's reply was a response that horribleness. It's not like green was genuinely waiting to spring that.

...probably.

Tell me you got banned from reddit and miss it dearly without telling me

[–] BeMoreCareful@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Woman bad. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[–] BeardededSquidward@lemmy.blahaj.zone 24 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Grey didn't value Green's time, even stated someone better came along. Green responded with shade in response for this lack of respect, Grey had a crash out because her lesser choice had teeth.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 9 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Interesting you feel that was the her. There at no genders stated.

[–] blarth@thelemmy.club 9 points 6 days ago

This is an /r/SipsTea male rage bait post, of course the chuds think it’s about them.

[–] KingOfTheCouch@lemmy.ca 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I mean, for most of the post they tried not to and a single "her" fell out. Something to consider.

I feel it is an interesting question though. I too assigned genders while reading this the first time so is it naturally ingrained in me? Or is it because of the first person POV of text message exchanges like this?

Are women reading this and assuming the other way around? Would a different format (eg changing the bubbles to other side, or paragraph format like in a novel) change who we think is which gender?

OP, for the drama bait. Woof.

[–] DankDingleberry@lemmy.world 8 points 5 days ago

stop posting ragebait this isnt reddit

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 14 points 6 days ago

See this is the variety of shitpost where it’s just a shit post.

[–] tomi000@lemmy.world 13 points 6 days ago (10 children)

I mean its 95% fake but it doesnt really make a difference for discussing it as if it was real.

I think it deoends on the relationship between the two and the kind of meeting they had planned. If its a date and grey bailed for an other date, thats really shitty. If it was a casual meetup between friends and grey bailed for a dating opportunity, its not that shitty and green was a bit rude with the follow-up, but again depends on their relationship and how they usually communicate. In any case, the last few messages are completrly overboard.

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (2 children)

Maybe they were pals and Green was saying "thank God" in a good-natured "yay, you finally got a date, happy for you bruh" manner but the response went right over Grey's head and led Grey to make a total ass of themself.

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

Though if that were the case, I'd figure they'd clear that up rather than no reply and posting the screenshot.
