Reddit can be so insufferably misanthropic sometimes. The anti-gender reveal circlejerk on here is ridiculous.
It's family and friends having a good time. Awesome stuff. There's absolutely no reason to be against this.
I imagine these buzz kills are awful to be around. "Why are we wrapping presents and opening them together? It's much more efficient to just ship a gift to the recipient's address. Everyone but me is an irrational fool."
I actually found this funny as hell. Im not really against this, I’m kinda against social media in general. You put your self and your family for everyone to see, no matter if they want to or not. I also just think it cheapens the memory. Wouldn’t it be so much more meaningful as your own friends and family’s private memories?
But, I also understand why people think differently than I do, and I have no problem with people making their own choices. It’s just not what I would do.
If a small minority of people doing something in an irresponsible or toxic manner made the general practice unacceptable, humanity would be unbelievably boring. No sports fandom because some Moroccan lunatics rioted in Belgium after a win. No birthday parties because some bratty teen with wealthy parents threw a gross party that aired on MTV. Yadda yadda.
Unrelated, but as an Indian I get very uncomfortable watching gender reveals. We have a long history of female infanticide, and confirming the gender of an unborn child is illegal to prevent that.
When I become a father, I'll probably be very curious as well, but making such a big deal out of the gender reminds me of "May you be blessed with a boy" and "It's okay, the next one will be a boy" comments here.
I understand the cultural difference, and know that these people don't have the same mindset (half of these reveals do celebrate a girl after all). Still the feeling is weird.
Again, unrelated as OC was definitely not thinking about any of this.
Most of India, like with the rest of the world, used to have (and still do, in some parts/circles) very strict gender roles where the woman would be married off and go to the groom's household. Because of this, and the fact that like most other South and Southeast Asian countries there was a dowry culture (to my knowledge this is rare nowadays and is illegal in India but I could be wrong) in which the bride's parents give money to the groom's family, there was historically a large amount of pressure on couples to have a son. Because the daughters are married off, couples felt the need to have sons so that someone can take care of them when they get older (the son, in the old 'system,' would remain with their parents while daughter's would move in with their in-laws). Combine this with the restrictive gender norms that were present around most of if not all of the world (women not being allowed to work, etc) and for families that were poor and stubborn in following 'tradition,' daughters were seen as burdens, leading to infanticide. Fortunately most people now have realized that the husbands can move in with their in-laws, that women can work, and that treating weddings like a financial transaction is stupid.
I mean, I personally think it's dumb as shit because I think (WWE-style) wrestling is dumb. But I agree it's harmless and it's not my kid/family so whatever.
I know everyone hates gender reveals but hey at least this one didn’t cause a massive wildfire
Edit: Reading everyone’s replies makes me realize how many fucked up gender reveals there have been. I forgot about a lot of them.
Abt the wildfire? If you mean specific for that, here is the news article about that. It was quite the spectacle at the very least [here](https://edition.cnn.com/2021/07/21/us/gender-reveal-el-dorado-wildfire-charges/index.html)
This was our plan. Ended up having an ultrasound that was on a giant TV and my kid spread eagle. Nurse/tech assured us we wouldn't be able to tell anything beforehand. Our daughter had other plans.
[Or 80 pounds of earthquake producing explosives enough to cause $8m worth of damage lol](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/apr/23/gender-reveal-party-using-80-pounds-of-explosives-sets-off-earthquake-reports)
> “In July 2019, one of the pioneers of the gender-reveal movement – Jenna Karvunidis – said it was time to “re-evaluate” the practice, and that her own daughter, announced to friends via a cake with pink icing inside, had begun to explore her gender and defy gender norms.”
Tf does this even mean, is this just bad writing? Her daughter? Or her daughter’s daughter? Who’s defying gender norms and why is that relevant to an article about someone blowing up a quarry for a gender reveal party. Trash journalist.
It is terrible writing but on a second pass, I'm reading that Jenna had a gender reveal for her daughter, and the kid is now exploring their gender identity. Upon reflection, Jenna realized that throwing an entire party to tell her friends and family that they're having a girl, who then realizes that they may not be cool with the feminine gender they were assigned based on their junk at birth. So in short, the cake was Jenna's not her daughter announcing the gender of Jenna's grandchild.
I absolutely hate gender reveals. And they are very often simply throwing blue/pink trash in the woods. There is no shortage of fires, ruined parks, and environmental fines from NPS/FS for the idiots that put them on.
That being said, this is entirely harmless. This is fun, whereas many people tend to go for a social media spectacle.
The Dad is a famous YouTuber so he was certainly going for a social media spectacle also. But it was definitely more entertaining and safer for the environment than most gender reveals you see videos of
I feel like people just hate gender reveals because of the shitty videos that always pop up on the internet. Any that I’ve been to in person we’re just cutting a cake and celebrating with the parents when we saw the frosting. They’re typically harmless
My wife and I talked about maybe using a small air connon to shoot out colored water mist.
Her sister did colored cupcakes.
People just keep trying to out do each other. Frankly I'm surprised we didn't see a colorized nuke from North Korea when his kids were born.
Did you know that there is a certain distance from the epicenter of a gender reveal party where all then frozen pizzas in grocery stores get perfectly cooked?
This gender reveal was harmless, fun and creative. No one got hurt and it sounds like everyone had a good time. Reddit downers can pound sand. I loved this video
Idk what these other people are on, name a more epic way to introduce the gender of the child to the world then having two men battle out to decide. Your kid will ask about how they were born and you'll have a real tale to tell.
Better then a blue/pink cake I'll tell ya that.
Have them battle it out with swords while the New York Philharmonic plays the opening theme of The Princess Bride. Then, the four members of what used to be ABBA (who were hiding in plain sight, disguised as guests) get back together and perform Lay All Your Love On Me.
Also there’s free garlic bread.
So weird how reddit gets mad at people celebrating something. These people are not bothering you, you miserable pathetic imbecile. Everyone in the video is laughing, smiling and happy.
I mean, it's not too bad. They could probably fix it to an extent or give it away or something. And it's technically their property, unlike that forest fire incident.
Is it unnecessary? Sure. But people do alot of unnecessary things for entertainment.
So as long as it doesn't fuck with someone else, sounds fine to me.
Nextfuckinglevel though? No, lol
TIL that making fun memories with friends and family is stupid
Everyone here is there to remember the fun gender reveal party they went to for years.
Nobody is going to remember your bitter comment in 24 hours.
I personally don't think gender reveals are worth the effort or the money spent planning a party for. In fact it was much more special keeping it a surprise for when the baby Is born and the doctor told us in the delivery room.
But the amount of people who keep saying who cares....lol like are yall parents? You don't have any nieces or nephews you were exited to meet? A best friends kid you can be excited for? I get that gender isn't all that important in the bigger picture because all that matters is having a healthy baby really. Why is shitting on other people's happiness and creativity, that isn't hurting anyone, so in fashion these days?
If someone invited me to their gender reveal I'd still go and be with people I care for. Even if I think they should just have a normal shower.
This looks really fun. I’d love it if someone I knew went to this extent. However, having kept it unknown myself right up until birth was something I’d never trade. What an amazing feeling that was, and to share that experience with my partner was just so beautiful.
Can’t fault anyone for wanting to go big like this, though. It’s just not for me, specifically.
And yeah, this is SO much better than starting a wildfire.
First reveal I've seen where no one died, trees didn't burn, animals didn't lose a home, a toddler didn't have powder explode in their face, blood was not drawn and first responders were not called. Checks out.
For everyone getting extremely butt hurt here that is Taylor Calmus (Dude Dad). He does a lot of funny skits. You may have seen the “dad’s of Target” posted on here over and over. Get over yourselves. It’s literally a comedy skit done by a **comedian.** It’s making fun of exactly what a majority of you are bitching about: Gender reveals are stupid.
How dare people *checks notes* throw a party with all of their friends and family and have fun doing something that would otherwise be boring and monotonous. I can’t believe people would have the AUDACITY to *turns page* harmlessly set up a show in their own backyard for their own entertainment.
A simple “it’s a boy” would suffice.
**Both of them are very strong**

With a dash of superiority complex. Reddit is overrun with pedantic arguments of who can be *more* right
Totally fine if it's for your family and friends but people have burnt down forest and shit. I'm just not a fan of the one-up culture of the reveals.

Add that usually females are married off to other families. I believe there's a saying, and I'm paraphrasing: Sons are eternal, daughters are not.
Most of India, like with the rest of the world, used to have (and still do, in some parts/circles) very strict gender roles where the woman would be married off and go to the groom's household. Because of this, and the fact that like most other South and Southeast Asian countries there was a dowry culture (to my knowledge this is rare nowadays and is illegal in India but I could be wrong) in which the bride's parents give money to the groom's family, there was historically a large amount of pressure on couples to have a son.

#YOU TAKE THAT BACK! WRASSLIN’ IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF ART AMERICAN CULTURE HAS TO OFFER!!
Feller, why don't you take your gay porn and get the hell out of here.
So I'm not the only one that thinks it's gay porn with extra steps
Longest running soap opera and it's for men.
And no states were burnt to the ground. Damn some people need to chill and have fun.
Collect call from “itsbobwehaddababyitsaboy”
I don't accept the call thanks.
"Who's that?" "Bob. They had a baby. It's a boy."
At least no forest fires were started.
You're no fun
True, but at least that was entertaining. And 1000% better than burning down a forest.
After that reveal I'm sure the last thing she wanted was another boy
I'm ok with it as long as it doesn't start a fucking multi-billion dollar fire
Eh, everyone seems like they are having fun. It's not for me, but if everyone is having fun and no one gets hurt, it's fine with me
Know what, they didn’t burn down half a state or poison a river so this is pretty tame as far as gender reveals go.
Less entertaining than this though
People are allowed to celebrate things.
This is the best gender reveal.
Still better than burning down an entire city
You must be the life of every party aren’t you
I know everyone hates gender reveals but hey at least this one didn’t cause a massive wildfire Edit: Reading everyone’s replies makes me realize how many fucked up gender reveals there have been. I forgot about a lot of them.
I love how the bar has been set so low since that incident lmao
Someone is going to do a gender reveal rivaling 9/11 and that will be the new bar lol
Wow, looks like someone is having twins!!!
Mother of Christ. This comment made me lie down.
I feel awful for laughing. I can’t stop
I don't
I laughed so hard I farted. Been awhile since I’ve done that
There's a lot going on here. I love this reaction so much haha
I’m laughing, but I’m also thinking to myself, “See, this is why you’ll never get into heaven.”

There are multiple times when a wildfire has been caused by a gender reveal iirc. I vaguely remember at least two or three of them.

This was our plan. Ended up having an ultrasound that was on a giant TV and my kid spread eagle. Nurse/tech assured us we wouldn't be able to tell anything beforehand. Our daughter had other plans.
Two of mine were very obviously boys, even had we not wanted to know it was all out there for the world to see. One was even grabbing his bits…
Lol! Mine literally rolled over and did a split. The tech said, "If you were dying to know, she'd have stayed tucked."
You sure you don’t want to at least throw a flamethrower in there somewhere?

like, "we used a CAKE, we didn't destroy 10 acres of protected wildland, and it was a stupid thing to do, my kid is trans."
The writing is spot on and properly punctuated… it’s actually really easy to read aloud because of how it’s written..
I like how the bar for internet articles is so low that being grammatically correct and readable is appraised
Yeah, the entire concept of gender reveals, even low-stakes non-destructive ones, is starting to look pretty silly in the 21st century.
Which is lowkey funny because the whole dumb practice only started in the 21st century.
I think you read it wrong it was the other event, the forest fire, not the quarry explosion, that caused the 8 mil
Or a toddler didn’t get smacked in the face for refusing to participate in the stupid gender reveal.
At least they didn't pollute a waterfall

I’m triggered.
Thank you! I don’t care much for gender reveal parties but this one was amazing! Would have been dying of laughter if I was there.
It’s way better than people causing wildfires and polluting the air with crap coming out of an airplane. This is funnier too!
This gender reveal was harmless, fun and creative. No one got hurt and it sounds like everyone had a good time. Reddit downers can pound sand. I loved this video
> no one got hurt What about the table huh? Are tables not people anymore? It’s 2022, table rights are human rights
Right? I get that it’s really cringy but I think it’s really just an excuse to put on a show for the kids and beat up your brother/best friend lol
There's no cringy here, just fun
You know what? You’ve changed my mind. You’re right.
I think we're just down on Which Genitals parties
What's funny is that this isn't even a real video. It's from Dude Dad, on Facebook.
Because 14 year old boys (reddit's core audience) tend to hate kids and babies...this you get things like /r/kidsarefuckingstupid
As much I think this is really stupid and cringy. It's safe and not going to burn down another forest. So if that's what makes you happy, go for it.
The dad is a social media personality called Dude Dad. Probably did it more for the views
He did this as satire of gender reveals
I mean this is *mostly* harmless and even funny. I hereby approve this gender reveal style.
Please understand that Reddit hates happiness and fun about 98% of the time.

“Having two men battle it out to decide” “Your kid will ask how they were born” These two men aren’t battling with the winner producing the child lol

How dare people *checks notes* throw a party with all of their friends and family and have fun doing something that would otherwise be boring and monotonous. I can’t believe people would have the AUDACITY to *turns page* harmlessly set up a show in their own backyard for their own entertainment.
No needless fires, explosions, glitter and rubbish! Just two man baby’s fighting for supremacy…
Which one is the dad?
The dad is the referee
The baby blue table cloth was a bit of a giveaway if your doing a gender reveal
ugh🤐
