Ok as a lesbian I just want to say that this is not a Lollapalooza specific thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon.

[–] Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 99 points 1 month ago (2 children)

i know! It's so disrespectful that these places get so much attention, but there are so many! Let's list all the places that gather this outrageous attention!

Renaissance festivals usually have a very lively adults only section in the primitive camping area.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.

Well typically it's a performance for other lesbians not straight guys so if you're in the scene you'll find out...

[–] Pudutr0n@lemmy.world 50 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Did you just assume my gender? cause... what gave it away? Was it the blatant disrespect for anything other than my own needs?

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 9 points 1 month ago

Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you're punching down.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 19 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Is it lesbian mud wrestling or is it sparkling same-sex sexy grappling? Trying to figure out if WWE is gay platform wrestling by the same definitions

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 13 points 1 month ago

I know a lot of gay pro wrestling fans.

In sumo, Ichiyamamoto literally has a life sized poster of Wakatakakage in his bedroom (they're the same age).

[–] VitoRobles@lemmy.today 10 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Wait are you saying lesbians as a whole will just see a pile of mud and have a intrinsic urge to wrassle?

[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I prefer being beaten with a stick by a beautiful girl, personally, but yes, many lesbian flirtation displays involve relatively stupid relatively low stakes violence.

Just like many straight courtship displays.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

Yeah the stupid, silly, and more adventurous flirtation is usually in certain types of space, but when I see it happening I feel so at home. Two girls making eyes at each other over a stupid feat of strength or toughness or whatever else gets me to let my guard down

I'm perusing New, but this belongs in the Hot section.

[–] AI_toothbrush@lemmy.zip 39 points 1 month ago

Im glad were still doing fun things

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 29 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Alternate link that doesn't make me visit insta or tiktok, please?

[–] Tarkcanis@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

90% of the peole watching... women.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 33 points 1 month ago

Well. They did say lesbian.

[–] eurodyne@piefed.world 14 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (5 children)

How is this news? Isn’t this a normal, scheduled event at lollapalooza? I haven’t been in a very long time, but… Isn’t this normal?

Iirc, there’s a whole schedule of mud wrestling events

If men are mud wrestling, I say "wack his nards"

If women are mud wrestling, I say "take her top off"

NGL. Everyone's going to cheer when they happen

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'd argue that both go against the spirit of the game.

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 9 points 1 month ago

Maybe the nut slapping, but taking off top during mud wrestling is a perfectly reasonable way to get advantage for all genders and non binary

They look like they're having so much fun!

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago

I'll be in my bunk.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

Time to dust off this classic:

This thead is useless without pics.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 9 points 1 month ago (5 children)

This is the Insta reel (I don't think it's necessary to read the article, and that site is full of trackers - yes, more than Instagram).

[–] gwl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 1 month ago

The audience really do feel like they're performing to camera rather than genuinely having fun 😥

When I was young: “These events seem lame.”

Now: “These events are lame and my back hurts.”

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 10 points 1 month ago (1 children)

When I was young: “These events seem lame.”

Now: "I should go to Lollapalooza."

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 1 month ago

Then: This isn't as much fun as I thought it would be. Kinda boring.

Now: I'm glad they're having enjoying themselves, and I'm glad I'm not there.

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@piefed.world 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can’t wait until they start selling lollapalooza pearls.

This isn't normal?

Are you sure???

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (3 children)

How do we know they're specifically lesbians?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

They were all wearing Birkenstocks.
