sub might turn into orca only sub

For those of you out of the loop, Reddit admins took it upon themselves to remove a meme about Orca’s attacking yachts. source

Not even that…literally a screenshot of an article by The Atlantic saying the orcas are bad for attacking boats and then underneath it a scene from The Office with the caption altered to say “You know what? Now I’m going to root for the orcas even harder.” source

      Please don’t tie being able to have a moustache to age. Not everyone has the genes to grow one, even if they are born male.

          That wasn’t my intention, nor the content of my comment.

          Note the “even if”. That means we’re starting from a position of everybody eventually being able to grow a moustache if they get old enough and note that it isn’t the case. Then we check if it’s the case for everyone born male, and again it’s not the case. At no point did we assume that there were no people born female who are eventually able to grow a moustache with age, though it is implied that not being able to grow a moustache regardless of age is less uncommon among people born female or at least perceived to be.

            you are assuming a tremendous amount that I didn’t say just so you can mental gymnastics your way into being offended over a theoretical group of people you invented who have nothing to do with this conversation. that’s a you problem, and I’m not responsible for you trying this hard to be upset over nothing.

        It is partially tied to age. Age is one of the requirements to grow a moustache, even if (as you correctly pointed out) not the only one.

        But you’re missing the point, really. What the poster above is highlighting is that spez isn’t just a comic villain, he’s a childish one.

          Don’t worry, I understood the point perfectly. It’s just that you can be an adult male and still not be able to grow a moustache, and implying those people aren’t adults isn’t nice.
