I am not in on this, can someone educate me so that I can understand your weird jokes?
The ad on the left is for gaming products, but the picture is for a hair eraser/exfoliator. The joke is that gamers are all uWu femboys.
I mean, a lot of us probably are, but there's going to be a few that are outliers.
Then again, I like my legs being hair free, especially during summer, makes me feel cooler (but only temperature wise, I'm as awkward as all hell otherwise)
Girl gamers also exist
Girls aren't real /s
Uh oh. I don't know what uWu is. Sorry :(
Consider yourself lucky and walk away like you just dodged a bullet
It is supposed to be an emoticon. A little face made from letters (or other characters) that can be used to show your mood when you can't or don't want to use emoji or pictures. This one especially should be a cute face with the "u" being closed eyes and the "w" being sort of a pouting mouth or an animal mouth. Especially the ones with "w" as a mouth are mostly used by men trying to act cute or girlish. They are almost never used by girls. Other examples would be: O_O or ^_^ . Sometimes you get them with surrounding braces to mark the sides of the face: (^_^) or extra characters like this being a drop of sweat ^_^" which resembles this 😅
Hahaha, great, thank you.
Is a "hair exfoliator" as painful to use as it sounds?
It's like using a very fine-grit sandpaper on your legs, so if that's what you were imagining... yes? Maybe? You basically slowly buff off the hair.
Amazon ads for "gamer" stuff that is otherwise very femme coded happens when Amazon thinks you are trans and serves you ads about it (presumably before the recipient knows)
That's indeed interesting, I never get femme coded stuff recommended and I'm a cis woman gamer... Amazon just wants to sell me faster SSDs
Oh sorry I should have been more specific. What is the product that the joke is about?
Or is it just a funny pink shape that is feminine and that is the joke?
Huh, okay thanks. I'll usethe reverse image search next time, I forgot Google introduced that
Gamerbros need exfoliation too, you know
