Thought this would be a joke about how the titles of AITA posts that sound innocent are typically the ones where OP is the asshole. Like "Can I give someone my old headphones?" Yes, obviously. "Wrapped as a gift," um, that feels a little insensitive. Probably just give them unwrapped and don't say it's part of the gift.

This green text, like every post on AitA is a work of fiction.

Yes, he'd be an asshole for giving her them as a birthday present, regardless of the fact that he got her other presents as well. Just ask her if she wants them after he gets his new ones.

Lmao I've actually done just that before, swapping the genders of a previous post, and people do say the complete opposite even though it's the same situations.

Fake, but even if it was true, the problem would have probably been the age change and not the gender change. Teenage relationships and adult relationships have different rules…

That sub is a circlejerk for white knights and femenists Women are never wrong there.

Yeah they just don't act like thus stereotypical over there.

Also, "femoid"?

Thank christ i left reddit for lemmy, this place is so muchnicer and better for my mental health.

AmITheAsshole is 99% rage bait and fan fiction. "Am I the Asshole for letting my wife only sleep with 8 different guys, while cucking myself and paying everything for her? I'm totally unsure if I'm, in this Ludacris Situation in which I'm clearly being abused, being unreasonable.... PLS BE NICE, GIVE ME ATTENTION! PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS PLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

This is actually a real post but I cannot find the genderswapped version. Presumably because the duplicate nature was identified and OOP was banned.

I'm gonna go ahead and hope that neither those redditors nor those channers ever find Lemmy

I guess it would be nice to have people think equally of men and women, but I don’t think the better way to do it is to create fake stories on 4chan

This guy is full of shit, communities on plebbit start with p/

He's talking about reddit

I do think the age changes it. If it's an 18 year old guy asking about his girlfriend, I also would be like, "hey, that may be a bit much. Old ones are fine." cause they're young. The expectations are lower. If it's an adult woman asking this for her husband, I would say to not give it on their birthday. "Hey, here's my old pair. Happy birthday" may be a bit flippant, but saying, "Hey, I got a new pair, want my old one?" doesn't seem like a bad deal.

Also, we didn't see the post. Maybe the other gifts were also bad. Not saying that AITA isn't a dumpster fire. But he changed the factors and didn't give us all the information.

Edit: I just saw the post. He bought her airpods a few years ago and, with how he's talking, it sounds like he got his around the same time. His wife's are glitching and just generally failing, but his used ones are fine. He says she takes care of them as with the rest of her things. He has the option to get free, new pair. Yeah, that is kind of dickish. "Here's my old headphones that could very well be on their way out as well and have been worn for x years. Please enjoy while I get my brand new set that I've openly told you I don't need. Happy birthday."

If this wasn't her birthday, fine. But on the day? That kind of fucked imo

Reddit, well-known for always siding with the woman in the story (?)

Wtf why would anyone (I know, I know, fake story, but hear me out) gift their USED in-ear headphones. I wouldn't touch that thing with a ten-foot pole, regardless if it was "cleaned".

This is not a Reddit thing this is just double standards…

Fake AF, there isn't any post with reverse genders on the subreddit.
