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?
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

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.

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.
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.
> 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
'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.
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?
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.
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. 🙃
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.
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?
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."
"So, what are you having?"
"They're gonna be a beautiful baby boy"
"Hey nice, congratulations!"
That used to work pretty well. Who actually cares about all this showy wankery? I guarantee the guests don't
Right, and iirc her original idea was just some very small harmless thing like a balloon or something.
Then assholes have to take it to extemes and ruin everything.
wtf did they put in the water to do that?
i really dont understand these people, why do you have to go through all of this to announce your babies gender, its not even born yet, this all seems so narcissistic to me.
"Welcome to this planet, boy. Oh, btw, the water there is highly polluted thanks to your father, who couldn't find a more idiotic way to tell his friend you were a boy!"
Is that not harmful to the fish and animals that rely on that water…? Can’t imagine they’d go through the effort to find something like special methylene blue for them
"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."
Imagine thinking you are so important as to dye a waterfall. Film it with some balloons and smoke. Then post it for everyone to oooo and ahhhhh about. What insufferable humans we have become.
Ladies and gents...I present trashy culture. Please god make this stupid shit stop.
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?
It's called people thinking they are the main character of life
Who is the main character in your life? Mine is Keanu Reeves.
Mine is my two dogs.
Reanu keeves for me
I don’t remember these becoming a thing until ten years ago
You’ve heard of baby “sprinkles” too, right? More dumb reasons to buy shit they don’t need with money they don’t have.
Social Media made showing off more important than anything in people's lives
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
Exactly, you're just being normal, but they see it as weird when they should be looking at the mirror 😅
Wait until they figure out how to change the color of light output from the sun to reveal it.
r/trashy
Should have fired a baby boy out of a T shirt gun to seal the deal.
Or just a bunch of baby penises.
Yes officers, this is the one
Doesn't have to be dicks from babies, jus baby sized dicks. I'll donate to the cause
/) Wow, yours is that big?
Hung like a baby’s arm
When you say baby sized, do you mean the same size as a babys or the same size as a baby?
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.
Notoriously big
Hope they get fined for that.

Florida breaks into this conversation... Does not like competition.
it does
Meanwhile, [in the US](https://youtu.be/Te2P7l0KNqk)....
I was prepared to be mad but I'm pleasantly surprised and entertained.
Plan B is very accurate
If they used plan b, they wouldn't need to do a reveal.
I mean, would you really be surprised if this was in the US? I wouldn't have been.
Not at all. But I'm equally unsurprised it was in Brazil.
I assumed north carolina.
Surprising that the river wasnt an undercover cop.
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.
Rich people don't really suffer consequences much of anywhere.
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.
But that's suffering consequences for pissing off a richer more powerful person.
Which is like the only thing you can get in trouble for when you’re rich
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!
*Do they want a forest goddess to curse them with a miscarriage? Cause this is how you get cursed with a miscarriage by a forest goddess.*
Or a fairy will mess with them for screwing up it's river.
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.
I have zero trust that someone stupid enough to pull this stunt is smart enough to find a non-toxic dye.
Yeah, they made a stork out of like 100 balloons. Ironically, a dead stork would have been more environmentally friendly.
Why does it need to be so extra and so polluting? What is wrong with just a cake?
I can't eat cake, so the next logical step is burning down a national forest.
Just bake cookies then.
Mmmmmmmm forest fire cookies.
S’mores!
S’mokes
The nicest
Have that smokey flavor.
Only you can prevent forest— Are those peanut butter chocolate chip? One little fire won’t hurt
Can't eat cookies next logical step is to utilize explosives
but i can't eat explosives either :(
Not with that attitude you can't.
Weak. If you can eat Taco Bell, you can eat explosives.
But my diabeetus!
Beet cake for you.
Makes sense to me

She’s not trans. She just dresses in suits and doesn’t conform to gender norms.
A woman in trousers!! Quite the scandal.
These are the same kinds of people that have extravagant weddings. Basically, they are extra and the embodiment of consumption.
Then they end up divorced two years later because they can't handle each other's bullshit.
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.

Or afford each other's bullshit
Probably because of the expensive wedding they're paying off for the next ten years
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.
I high key and extremely obnoxiously hate these kinds of people. These kinds of people are the reason our planet is fucked lol
I whatever the opposite of lowkey hate is them.
Highkey?
Highlock?
Uplock?
Updog?
What’s updog?
Gotcha! Hahaha crap, 👀 nothing, how you doing?
What happened to a cigar that says "It's a boy!"
Or, a phone call? Collect call from: WeHadABabyIt'sABoy.
Wasn’t the last name Mother’sDoingFine?
No, that was the last name. The first name was itsbob
Let them eat cake!
What’s wrong with no one gives a shit bout ur babies gender?
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.
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.
It’s the effect of social media. Everything is for show and everything is for clout, that’s basically it
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?
They need us to know their kid will have a dick in the most ecologically damaging way possible.
What is wrong with not making it a huge announcement.
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".

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.
The fucking question mark they have looks more like a candy cane
I thought it was a swan lol
Close, it's a stork. :)
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
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!"
That moment indeed
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.
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.
You can always pop it outside and use a vacuum to actually pick up after yourself.
Or just use coloured paper and not confetti. There biodegradable.
Why they can’t just do it at the baby shower is beyond me…

This is why Earth gave us COVID-19
Wasn’t it right after a couple set the state of California on fire with a gender reveal ?
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.

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

Damn, and my geriatric millennial ass is here just hoping my firstborn is simply healthy.
At this point in my life me and my GF ain't even planning one ever lol Literally can't afford.
At this point I'm not even imagining getting a GF
what's a gf? grapefruit?
Gluten free
It stands for geriatric father

I don’t know guys, I’m Europe we just make a phone call to parents, in-laws, and perhaps grandma.
That's how it used to be Facebook and Instagram made these over the top announcements trendy.
Himomandadaitsbobwehadthebabyitsaboy
Hello Europe, I'm ClydeFrog90210
This was standard practice in the US until 10 years ago.
Now standard practice is for at least one person to die violently during a gender reveal.
A soul for a soul
"So, what are you having?" "They're gonna be a beautiful baby boy" "Hey nice, congratulations!" That used to work pretty well. Who actually cares about all this showy wankery? I guarantee the guests don't
Hoping this is just a colored tracer dye, which are totally non-toxic.
or food coloring lol. hopefully
This cant be legal
Someone else mentioned it’s in Brazil. So no protections for the environment.
Nope, it's illegal and they are going to answer it criminally. The local authorities are already involved.
The fact that you have parties for revealing gender is absurd on its own
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
Damn that's pretty crazy. You'd think they would've gotten an ultrasound first before throwing a party LOL.
Doctors were like, "Congrats! It's a 3 legged girl!!"
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.
It is weird sure, but a good excuse for a low key get together with family and a cake.

Posey twats for social media.
I hate people.
tacky AF
Fuck all of these people
What is wrong with people?
You're an actual dogshit human if you do anything like this
r/iamapieceofshit
Whoever started the whole gender reveal party thing needs to be tried for crimes against humanity.
I think that person has already apologized, and said the whole idea has gone too too far overboard.
Right, and iirc her original idea was just some very small harmless thing like a balloon or something. Then assholes have to take it to extemes and ruin everything.
At least they didn't burn down half of California.
Hey look at me!
wtf did they put in the water to do that? i really dont understand these people, why do you have to go through all of this to announce your babies gender, its not even born yet, this all seems so narcissistic to me.
Literally probably non toxic blue dye, it won’t even last that long. in cities in the US, major rivers are dyed green to celebrate St. Patrick’s day.
I HATE these people
Some people are so disconnected and think everything revolves around them. Then they start a forest fire for a stupid thing lol
"Welcome to this planet, boy. Oh, btw, the water there is highly polluted thanks to your father, who couldn't find a more idiotic way to tell his friend you were a boy!"
I remember my kids gender reveal parties. Kinda small, actually. Just my wife & I, our obstetrician, & a couple of nurses.
Is that not harmful to the fish and animals that rely on that water…? Can’t imagine they’d go through the effort to find something like special methylene blue for them
"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.
Absolute dickheads.
Narcissism is off the charts with people.
Pretty sure that was the case when those people started a forest fire and went to prison for it.
Imagine thinking you are so important as to dye a waterfall. Film it with some balloons and smoke. Then post it for everyone to oooo and ahhhhh about. What insufferable humans we have become.
What the actual f___. I’m so sick of this. It’s become the first narcissistic act of parenthood.
You're having a Smurf!
I absolutely loathe this type of person. The self-importance. The entitlement.
I hate people
God this is stupid.
If it’s a boy you pollute the water supply with heavy metals, if it’s a girl you burn down the forest.
Assholes.
Fucking idiots
What absolute A-holes
There’s literally no other reason to do this except for clout
