I grew up with classmates named Autumn, April, and December (she went by DeeDee). I had a co-worker named June. I've known of kids named Summer, January, Augustus, and September. But none of them picked these names; it was the parents who identified them as months or seasons!

(And yes obviously the Fox story is beyond stupid)

People working at Fox News are probably still taking/passing around Buzzfeed quizzes to find out which season they are

Probably met two girls named Autumn and Summer and got triggered or something

Why the fuck would people even have a problem with that? The lead poisoned generation which believes in jesus the crucified zombie telling everyone that THEY have a mental illness. I just wish conservatives would disappear.

Probably stumbled on a makeup tutorial and got confused hearing someone being called an "Autumn" or "Winter" and ran with it.

Summer and Autumn get used as girl’s names ~1,200 per million and ~2,000 per million per year since the 1970s or so. “Fall” is only about 3 per million, “Winter” takes off with Game of Thrones TV show around 2011 leading to 600 per million, but was in use since the 70s to the tune of about 70-100 per mil.

Parents have been identifying their kids as seasons for decades.

fox news lying?

Fox “News”.

Oh my god, so what if they were? Why do they care? Let people be who they want to be. If you tell me, "I'm not a woman, I'm an autumn," I might think that's silly, but if that's what you want me to call you, fine. It doesn't hurt anyone, it doesn't exploit anyone, there's no harm in it at all.

Their entire business model is drumming up culture war bullshit to keep people distracted from the fact they're losing the class war.

I think he got his mom's color palettes mixed in with his derp.

(Mostly older) People have been claiming they were a summer or autumn for decades.

They made it up.

Of course they made it up, it's Fox News, what do you expect?

Even taking it at face value, who cares?

Kids do dumb shit. Always have, always will.

If identifying as seasons gets the creative juices flowing or gives them a harmless source of entertainment, then more power to em.

I didn't even know that was an option..

I'm identifying as paprika. But smoked paprika, not that basic ass egg flavoring.

"My source is that I made it the fuck up"

Conservatives are so fucking boring. The ones I’m forced to interact with talk about politics at a massively inflated rate compared to anyone else. It’s always shit that makes them angry too, like the only joy you can get out of life is righteous indignation.

Privileged white fuckers are the last people who have any right to be righteously indignant over anything right now, and that’s the majority of conservatives in America.

Their base loves the weirdest entertainment.

Do you really think they would do that? Just go on their entertainment show and tell lies?

Oh you sweet summer child? 🤣

My dad was tricked with the "cat litter box" made-up moral panic. SMN has an episode on it (can't remember which one), but some people are too far gone to admit they've been deceived by made-up fox news.

Gone out of bullshit to create class warfare?

Fox News. What a fucking turd. A bunch of people you wouldn't want to spend 5 minutes with telling you shit that makes no sense and lieing straight to your face to make you angry. No wonder trolls are so prevalent. Republicans worship them.

I hate how Fux News describes Greg Gutfeld as the leader in late night. I mean, there are probably enough psychos out there watching that network to drive up those numbers, but Gutfeld is the same shit Fox News gives you in the daytime, with a light coating of late night talk show trappings.

This is going to be really awkward when they run into all the girls named Summer and Autumn

Identifying as a season? That's almost as ridiculous as identifying as the position of the stars and planets at your birth! You know, that thing that apparently millions of people actually do do. Maybe Fox should go after astrology. That might be a cause worth pursuing.

Heheheh. I said "do do".

I'm an autumn.

I'll probably be in the minority, since this is Lemmy after all, but how is this "news"?

This is basically: reporter I hate said something I hate.

Is this Jesse's regular MO? Yes.

Is Jesse garbage? Yes.

Is this news? No.

Fox News is in the business of making their viewers hate everyone else.

I’m an autumn

Oh wait people have been saying that since forever
