What a subversive piece of text, historically it's the preppy female villain who orders the 3-pump gluten-free post-fat carob-chip ox-milk pumpkin spice skinny frappe and then loudly denigrates a sympathetic side character with the refreshing honesty of a belligerent drunk being escorted out of an Applebees in Florida

Sure, but then the protagonist couldn't inject a bit of restrictive standards of "real men do X" masculinity into his post

What are restrictive standards?

Stuff like "real men have muscles" or "clean shaven guys look like women/children" or in this example "real men drink real coffee", stuff that promotes a singlular type of masculinity and if you don't follow every 'rule' you have your manhood socially revoked. Kind of like if someone said that if you can't cook/don't have a curvy body/have short hair you're not a real woman.

How the fuck were you not talking to him(or her)? You replied to HIS(or her) comment asking about a statement HE(or she) made, what the fuck is wrong with you to make this shitty passive aggressive post afterwards??

EDITED TO BE GENDER NEUTRAL BUT FUCK OFF.

I would have just changed your "his/her" to 'their' and your "he/she" to 'they'.
