This is a reasonable response, however if his habits are inhibiting his lifestyle then she has every right to bring it up as an issue.
Yeah, it's obviously framed like this to dunk on the non-gamer for being goofy, but the reality is (most of the time) someone forcing an ultimatum like this is doing is because every other method failed. So, it's hard for me to see this anything other than a sort of power fantasy. I'm not sure what to call it. An "I'm right" fantasy? A high-horse fantasy? Not sure.
And the frustrating this is that goofy posts like this hide this so well, because yes, ultimatums are generally bad, but if you point out something like that, they'll just say something like the non-gamer just jumped to the ultimatum with no warning... But... It's just a single panel. There's literally nothing else.
Idk, it's just weird to me. Also feels a little misogynistic.
Theeere we go. It's misogynistic everybody. Pack it up, we're done.
"Feels a little misogynistic" is all I said, jeez. 🙄
No, you're cooked. Tonight at 10 there will be two ogres in linux t-shirts at your door. They'll escort you to the lemmy dungeon where you'll spend the rest of your life.
Oh gods, not the Lemmy dungeon! I better eat some beans as I'll need to not poop for three days.
That explains why you're full of shit.
Huh?
