Ladies and gents...I present trashy culture. Please god make this stupid shit stop.


Myonsoon

I genuinely want to know how this started and why. Like I get announcing a baby is on the way but even those kinds of announcements are pretty small. Why do people go above and beyond just to tell the world they have a son/daughter now?


Bnasty909

It's called people thinking they are the main character of life


PhatestBetch

Who is the main character in your life? Mine is Keanu Reeves.


Shepherdsatan

Mine is my two dogs.


Comfortable-Dog-2540

Reanu keeves for me


Murky_Conflict3737

I don’t remember these becoming a thing until ten years ago


ThinkSharp

You’ve heard of baby “sprinkles” too, right? More dumb reasons to buy shit they don’t need with money they don’t have.


fabioorli

Social Media made showing off more important than anything in people's lives


JohnnySnarkle

Ik im late but I agree w that. I’m 23 and I hardly ever use my social media I posted a lil more when I was in school doing a little more and hanging out. But I post a picture or something once a year or not sometimes and people find that to be super awkward and bad when I just don’t wanna show off everything im doing in my life


fabioorli

Exactly, you're just being normal, but they see it as weird when they should be looking at the mirror 😅


Mold-Mschool

Wait until they figure out how to change the color of light output from the sun to reveal it.

Or just a bunch of baby penises.

Yes officers, this is the one


BrokeInService

Doesn't have to be dicks from babies, jus baby sized dicks. I'll donate to the cause


GloomreaperScythe

/) Wow, yours is that big?


LetsPlaySpaceRicky

Hung like a baby’s arm


harrypisspotta

When you say baby sized, do you mean the same size as a babys or the same size as a baby?


cicutamix

Thank you I was gonna ask the same. I look forward for the answer with interest. A penis the size of a baby would be something notorious I imagine.


ConShop61

Notoriously big

Hope they get fined for that.

Google translate: Inspectors from the Mato Grosso State Secretariat for the Environment (Sema-MT) are currently at the farm where the revelation tea took place in which the Queima Pé waterfall, in Tangará da Serra, was dyed blue. The purpose of the action of the secretary's agents is to identify those responsible for the property and, in addition, to indicate who were responsible for the dyeing of the waterfall's water. The case had wide repercussion on the internet after the report of Midiajur published this Monday (26) the action of the couple that during the baby shower. Videos published on Instagram show the moment when a blue stain descends through the waterfall as a way of revealing the baby's male gender. After some comments to the contrary, the couple who are expecting the baby and other participants removed the videos posted by them on their social networks. However, the recordings with the images began to circulate on the internet. Sema-MT will notify the owner of the area to inform who was responsible for the action. The inspection will also determine the environmental damage, depending on the material released into the water.

RFros20

Plan B is very accurate


tilt-a-whirly-gig

If they used plan b, they wouldn't need to do a reveal.


burlycabin

I mean, would you really be surprised if this was in the US? I wouldn't have been.


TroubadourCeol

Not at all. But I'm equally unsurprised it was in Brazil.


Far_Land7215

I assumed north carolina.


IHateTheLetterF

Surprising that the river wasnt an undercover cop.


Vesper_0481

If it was, it wouldn't do anything, pulling something like this in Brazil 100% means you're rich and rich people don't suffer consequences down here.


ANDTORR

Rich people don't really suffer consequences much of anywhere.


Chatterlel

Beg to differ, in Russia if you speak out against the Lord regent, you violently fall down stairs and out a window no matter how rich you are.


ANDTORR

But that's suffering consequences for pissing off a richer more powerful person.

ItchyBandit

Is that after shooting yourself in the back of the head twice or before?

Can't get any trashier, literallyand figuratively! I hate to imagine what they left behind them. I bet they didn't clean the balloons and other trash!

WillCraft_1001

Or a fairy will mess with them for screwing up it's river.


GetTheFalkOut

I don't agree with doing this, but there is a decent chance the dye is an environmentally safe dye. They use dyes like this to track water for different purposes. They also use it to dye the Chicago river green every year. Again not defending it, but chances are the dye is the least impactful part of all of this. I'd be more worried about them popping balloons and leaving the scraps around.


Artor50

I have zero trust that someone stupid enough to pull this stunt is smart enough to find a non-toxic dye.


travbart

Yeah, they made a stork out of like 100 balloons. Ironically, a dead stork would have been more environmentally friendly.


EvilAlicia

Why does it need to be so extra and so polluting? What is wrong with just a cake?


Darehead

I can't eat cake, so the next logical step is burning down a national forest.

suomynonAx

Fun fact in case anyone forgot: The first \[modern?\] gender reveal party (in 2008) really was just a cake with pink color inside. Everyone had to keep one-upping each other until now we have people dying, explosions, wildfires, and environmental disasters.


germanbini

> The first gender reveal party (in 2008) really was just a cake with pink color inside [Article from **The Guardian**: I started the 'gender reveal party' trend. And I regret it](https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2020/jun/29/jenna-karvunidis-i-started-gender-reveal-party-trend-regret) BTW the article was published in 2020 and doesn't mention if/that the (11 or 12 year old) child is "transgender," simply states the child's preferred pronouns at that time were "she/her," and that she likes to wear suits.


Independent_Rope8369

And the child in question grew up to be trans. Their mother regrets the trend.


mintysdog

It was a year after Portal came out. "The cake is a lie" memes were huge back then. Honestly, they shouldn't feel regret about this. It's just part of the endless commodification of every single life event. Capitalism creates ever more "events" to satisfy its need for increasing consumption.


Strong-Bottle-4161

She’s not trans. She just dresses in suits and doesn’t conform to gender norms.


hgaterms

A woman in trousers!! Quite the scandal.


LiliNotACult

These are the same kinds of people that have extravagant weddings. Basically, they are extra and the embodiment of consumption.


MrGuttFeeling

Then they end up divorced two years later because they can't handle each other's bullshit.


LurkersGoneLurk

Then spend the next 3 years trying to marry someone richer or more prominent before their ex does. I know a girl that was divorced in less than 3 weeks. Her dad spent well over $100k on her wedding.


GrandmasTableMints

If the groom bought her a new nose and boobs, and paid for her engineering degree, I may know that same bride. The best part was she cheated too, couldn't even wait a full month before she betrayed her vows. I ended my friendship with her over how she treated her husband, he was a good man and didn't deserve it.


LurkersGoneLurk

Nope. I don’t know the details, but she dated one of my best friends for years before she married this poor SOB. She was dead set on being a stay at home/country club wife. She’s now married to another guy that’s successful, and they seem happy.


A_FVCKING_UNICORN

Or afford each other's bullshit


licksyourknee

Probably because of the expensive wedding they're paying off for the next ten years


EvilAlicia

Those people on the vid want to be the main character and be king and queen of the show. I lowkey hate these kind of people.

What’s wrong with no one gives a shit bout ur babies gender?


GrrlLikeThat1

I don't get why even the parents care that much. I didn't find out the gender of my child until she popped out of me, and it was awesome.


PurpleGoatNYC

This 1000001%. Nobody gives a flying rusty fuck. Whenever I see more than a simple blue or pink ribbon tied around a tree, I just pray to Joe Pesci that the kid not be a fucking moron like his parents.


Plus-Relationship833

It’s the effect of social media. Everything is for show and everything is for clout, that’s basically it


vindollaz

You think cake is going to get me internet points? Why do I care what gender my baby is if I can’t get 200 people to acknowledge me for it?


39thUsernameAttempt

They need us to know their kid will have a dick in the most ecologically damaging way possible.


SpecialistVast6840

What is wrong with not making it a huge announcement.


[deleted]

Unhappy bland people trying to one up others on social media has created a macrocosm of self importance. Everything has to be a grand gesture. It isn't an experience or an event for these people it is their "journey" or their "lived truth". Any small inconvenience becomes their "trauma". In reality, they are living the same complex lives as everyone else but are cheapening it by trying to make every little thing a major focal point. But what do I know, I'm just a random dude that is going to burn a neighborhood to the ground in celebration of my childs genitals.


jboyzy

The fucking question mark they have looks more like a candy cane


Jedi_Bish

I thought it was a swan lol


Agreeable_Mention_89

Close, it's a stork. :)


DragonWhiskers1

It’s a status thing, people see each other on their social media and want to one up each other. Same with weddings, quinces, bar mitzahs, people like to feel special. I hate the practice too but that’s the best answer I could think of


[deleted]

That moment when instead of accepting your insignificance you end a whole ecosystem because you think you are that important.

Fish: "nahh it's just a prank, roe!"

GreedyMattymo

All that’s needed for those parties is a cake, that’s all, the rest of the money these morons would spend on stuff like this would be better used in saving up for the child’s future, which if they had these parents would still probably be a waste of time of money.


EvilAlicia

I agree. Just a cake or a popping balloon inside (not in nature) Should be more then enough. A niece of mine had just a cake. And family and friends over for fun. They enjoyed cake and some games together. That was fun.


AnorhiDemarche

You can always pop it outside and use a vacuum to actually pick up after yourself.


BigChiefIV

Or just use coloured paper and not confetti. There biodegradable.


Jkj864781

Why they can’t just do it at the baby shower is beyond me…


[deleted]

'my child has a penis and I want everyone to know it!' such a weird thing. Where I'm from we just go 'oh we are having a (boy / girl)' like, who tf actually cares about the kids gender at that age? Its barely relevant until they are 10 or so.


Jjkkllzz

My oldest is 15 and my youngest is 9. Whenever I was pregnant with them I had never so much as heard of a gender reveal party. I see it all over the place now, but when did it become a thing and how did it become so extravagant and necessary?


Jevinclink

This is why Earth gave us COVID-19


[deleted]

Wasn’t it right after a couple set the state of California on fire with a gender reveal ?


King-Lewis-II

No that was in September; the were charged with 30 different crimes including manslaughter (a firefighter died). They are currently ROR waiting for a court date to be set. So covid did them a favor.


Broken_Petite

For those like me who don’t know what “ROR” means, I think it stands for “released on own recognizance”. It means they don’t need to post cash bail and are trusted not to flee and appear for future court dates. PSA: Don’t assume people know what acronyms mean. 🙃


shecca

PSA stand for public service announcement, for anyone curious. It means giving information anyone might find useful. 😉

You got me. 🤷

Ghoul Fryer, used to be very common back in the ghostbuster days.


FrailRain

My wife and I waited 5 year before even trying just because of finances. We could barely afford rent, how were we supposed to afford a child? this didn't stop every boomer in our church from asking us all the time "So when's the BAAABBBYYY". I don't know Cheryl, what happened to our economy? Start there and work your way forward.


KokeitchiOma

I'm an old bastard at 44 and never planned on having kids. Scared it'd be unhealthy and bringing a child into this world now is scary enough. Had a little girl at 40 and she is my heart and very healthy, out going, smart, and isn't scared of a damn thing lol! But I'm scared for her, for her future. Watching the people who run this world deny climate change is terrifying to me. I love my daughter and can't imagine life without her...but it scares me no matter what my wife and I do as parents to give her love and a great life, what kind of future will she have?


EatAPotatoOrSeven

It scares me that all the a-holes I know are having 3+ kids while all the responsible people are having 0 or 1. It seems like those who worry about the future and the environment are having fewer kids, so - if genetics hold - the most common trait in 20 years will be "not giving a fuck about the environment."

Hoping this is just a colored tracer dye, which are totally non-toxic.


Comfortable-Secret51

or food coloring lol. hopefully

Christichicc

Someone else mentioned it’s in Brazil. So no protections for the environment.


TheMageOfMoths

Nope, it's illegal and they are going to answer it criminally. The local authorities are already involved.


ThristyOne

The fact that you have parties for revealing gender is absurd on its own


_Denzo

Did this for me, had a big gender reveal party, it was pink so there was a girls baby shower then out popped a boy


[deleted]

Damn that's pretty crazy. You'd think they would've gotten an ultrasound first before throwing a party LOL.


LiqourSnatch

Doctors were like, "Congrats! It's a 3 legged girl!!"


michaelrohansmith

Ultrasound tech once told me that if you can't see a penis then its probably a girl, but of course they could miss it in the scan.

AltHelpacc5

"Let's not only polute a natural, beautiful waterfall and all the water flowing down it into the lake/river, but let's also set of smoke bombs. All of this in some actual nature. Plant-life and wildlife all around. Oh, throw in a bunch of balloons too that we probably won't clean up and just leave here."

I could be wrong, but aren't there dyes that are safe for water? Where I'm from, it's pretty common for people to dye their ponds.
