Why would people go to European Texas for femboys?

[-] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 24 points 7 months ago

Yeah, maybe it's because my UI standards are too high to spend any more time than necessary on Discord but I wasn't aware that this was a thing.

Are Polish femboys actually a Discord meme or was that just a random social media choice?

[-] DangedIfYouDid@lemmy.world 16 points 7 months ago

They're a meme beyond discord as well, but not hugely mainstream, existing in a similar space to mentions of Ohio in a positive light. Just more Gen-Z ironic humor.

It's a take on "doth protest too much." Because Poland is super conservative, therefore secretly specialized in femboys.

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 7 points 7 months ago

There are definitely alt right femboys though.

tread harder daddy 😩💦

It is for sure a… fascinating combo, given the context.

[-] HikingVet@lemmy.ca 7 points 7 months ago

These are all good questions. I don't use discord, I wasn't aware that this could be a thing either. My impressions of Poland come from other places....

[-] Aremel@lemmy.world 38 points 7 months ago

Everybody knows you go to Thailand for femboys.

"Stu you loved it, you were crying saying how special it was. I had to slow down so I didn't drop my load too quick."

[-] _Sprite@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Emphasis on boys

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 27 points 7 months ago

Can someone explain this? Why were people expecting "femboys" in Poland, and what does Discord have to do with any of it?

[-] hypertown@lemmy.world 22 points 7 months ago

Discord could actually be replaced with any mainstream social media platform. Few weeks ago I've seen a lot of memes that took air pollution map of Europe and labeled it: "Femboys heat map" or something like that. Poland is usually almost entirely red since air pollution in that country is sometimes literally highest in the world. How are polish people still alive? Well it only happnes during coldest days in winter. As for why that happens? I don't know. UK used to have similar problem and other countries as well but now only Poland is so bad. You could say because people are poor and they burn whatever they have to keep warm in winter but that can't be the case. If you look at GDP map of Europe there are more counties that have lower GDP and don't have that problem.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

The main problem is too much reliance on coal power plants.

[-] hypertown@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

If that was the case why in summer there is no such pollution? As far as I know electricity usage is increasing in summer due to air conditioning.

[-] TimeNaan@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago

A/C in homes is not as popular in Poland as it is in the US

[-] hypertown@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

While I can't find any relevant statistics I'm sure you're right. But still, I've been in few different countries in Europe and AC isn't as rare as some might think and I think everyone has a fridge that also has to work extra hard during summer. Compare that to winter, what takes most of the energy? Electric heaters? Doubt many people use that, electricity in Europe is just too expensive. Whatever the case it's a fact that air is most polluted in winter during the highest cold.

[-] LwL@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

To my knowledge AC in places north of italy is basically nonexistent in private homes. Mediterranean countries do often have it though. Poland certainly doesn't commonly.

Fridges don't even remotely compare to AC in power consumption, and inside temperature doesn't differ as much as outside temperature in summer vs. winter because in winter the inside gets heated, and in summer insulation still keeps it below outside temps usually.

[-] Gladaed@feddit.de 6 points 7 months ago

There are no acs in Europe.

[-] Andrzej@lemmy.myserv.one 7 points 7 months ago

It's because the USSR used to outsource a lot of their dirtiest industry to Poland, and now the EU do it

[-] AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml 6 points 7 months ago

Bro, the USSR stopped influencing Poland 40 years ago, please don't blame the failures of your shitty rightoid government on a country that's been dead for fucking decades

[-] Andrzej@lemmy.myserv.one 4 points 7 months ago

I'm blaming Germany, actually. Keep up.

[-] antonim@lemmy.dbzer0.com 15 points 7 months ago

It can vary from place to place...

America too!

Major cities: gay clubs. Rainbow streets. Tolerance.

Outside those cities: Straight Pride. Nazi signs. Nooses.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 7 months ago

Were they at least femboy skinheads?

[-] Sop 6 points 7 months ago

Idk about the origin of the meme but I can confirm that I know several Polish femboys through European gaming discord servers
