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 102 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 52 points 2 months 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 2 months ago

Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you're punching down.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months 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 14 points 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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 41 points 2 months ago

Im glad were still doing fun things

[–] perishthethought@piefed.social 31 points 2 months ago (3 children)

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

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 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

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

[–] solidheron@sh.itjust.works 9 points 2 months 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

90% of the peole watching... women.

[–] titanicx@lemmy.zip 33 points 2 months ago

Well. They did say lesbian.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

They look like they're having so much fun!

[–] dephyre@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

I'll be in my bunk.

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

Time to dust off this classic:

This thead is useless without pics.

[–] theblurstoftimes@leminal.space 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Glad to see some of the original lollapalooza spirit still around

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 2 months 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 2 months ago (1 children)

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

Now: "I should go to Lollapalooza."

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 4 points 2 months 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.

[–] DudeImMacGyver@piefed.social 6 points 2 months ago

This isn't normal?

Are you sure???

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago (3 children)

How do we know they're specifically lesbians?

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

They were all wearing Birkenstocks.
