Welcome

We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!

The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

And that’s basically it!

He claims he'd never mock a Prius while in the same sentence posting about how much he hates the Prius, and then doesn't think it's fair to be mocked for driving a certain vehicle.

To break this Möbius strip logic: Blame someone else.

To be fair, I don't care for either the CyberTruck or the Prius.

But yes, there is a lot of social backlash against owners of the Cyber Truck. But it just ain't "females". It's all of us laughing at you.

His point is that it's fine to hate certain cars but that you still shouldn't mock the people driving them. I think that's kind of a dumb line to draw, but it's not hypocritical or inconsistent.

I am going to judge people by their actions.

Right, but saying "I hate the Prius" is not mockery.
