I feel like basic kite flying is wholesome.

ToxicWaste ,

Sure seems hard to draw a kite

Staying a virgin is easy. Just develop a shitty personality or maybe even a personality disorder like I did and viola, you are now a forever virgin.

However, living as a virgin is much more difficult. Between self-loathing and depression, you could turn suicidal. Again like I did.

Sorry to hear man, I hope you have found some way to move on and enjoy life

fckreddit ,

At this point, the best I can do is hope. I am lost. Thanks though.

Do you think Benjamin Franklin was a virgin? No. Benjamin Franklin fucked, and flew kites.

It's hard to make time for sex when you are learning how to fly a kite from its tail. The man is defying basic physics right there.

The moral of this comic is the last pane, where the hobbyist goes back to doing what they enjoy and the other guy is still a miserable, lonely cunt.

I regularly flew kites from the campus yard in college (many moons ago). It was just something I had enjoyed doing with my mother who had died during my senior year of high school. I was never called a virgin for it, but I did get laid a lot thanks to it. It's a wholesome conversation starter plus I think it made me approachable. Thanks mom.

Now there's a throwback to '90s/early internet humor.

Isoprenoid ,

This kind of joke pre-dates the internet.

What's the hardest part about <rollerskating / insert any hobby>?

Telling your parents that you're gay.

This joke just switches homophobia with virginity shame.

I have no doubt about that. The virginity part was what dated this specific iteration of it.

kite: you do realize I’m up here, right

almar_quigley ,

Boomer humor

Shiggles ,

Needs the last panel to be blue shirt tied to a kite and flying away.

almar_quigley ,

I can picture it and it’s wonderful!

Gen-X here. Can confirm that "virgin", " nerd", and "<homophobic slur>" were preferred punch lines by the boomers.

almar_quigley ,

Also judging people for having a harmless hobby that doesn’t conform to their world view.

hemko ,

By millenials still early 2000s, and you have to add ethnic slurs on that list

almar_quigley ,

We watched an old episode of friends for nostalgia recently and the whole punchline of the entire episode was “yeah but you kissed a dude”.

Wasn't nerd still common bullying word in 80' and 90'? Then nerds became the richest people with the internet and it doesn't work anymore.

A comeback to likely piss off said boomer since they are probably homophobic too.

Anticorp ,

The original was better, since he left the antagonizer to his misery without any engagement, and went back to having fun.

JoMiran ,
@JoMiran@lemmy.ml avatar

Except that he's scowling.

Anticorp ,

Oh, that wasn't obvious on my phone screen until I zoomed in just now.

It is actually kind of nice that your mind went to him just enjoying life and not being bothered by bullies.

PatMustard ,

I get more of a school bully vibe from it. The stereotypical old person joke is "wife bad", this sounds more like something a self-described "alpha male" would say.

Viking_Hippie ,

"Bullying and sex-shaming funny" is just as much of a boomer humor cliché as "wife bad", though.

fushuan ,

"sure was hard when you mom was bouncing on it last night"

...and that's a beating from the bully.
