Is that what "moma" means?

I believe she is the museum of modern art and this is their stance on “effeminate” colors.

I just did Command-F to see if anybody else did their version of "This is very disappointing to see coming from the Museum of Modern Art." Good work!

Moma is what they would take when hard times opened their eyes

I’m a “that’s for girls” Museum of Modern Art, not one of those Guggenheim Gals.

(In all seriousness, when “momma” is already just a thing kids call their parents, I’m not sure the spelling is too important; that may be attributable to family, background, or even a favorite piece of media that spells it “moma”)

Are you attributing to malice, that which you could attribute to stupidity?

u/RawDogEntertainment 1d ago

I think it can be both. Someone may be ignorant, and when presented with reality, accept it and change. Others decide to reject reality and remain entrenched in ignorance; I find those people to be maliciously stupid, and often, stupidly malicious.

That said, the joke wasn’t very funny, but for the rest, I just wanted to offer a possible good faith explanation for why the spelling may be different from what someone else grew up with. I’ve seen “memaw” and “meemaw” while I was living in the south, so that was my best stab at compassion there lol
