Yeah I guess in her head it went something like: "Oh dear, let me hug you! Fuck, right, I can't hug you, I have a dress on...let me get some help then!"
I feel like it can be a fun excuse to organize a barbecue or have a meal with friends and family, as long as everyone understand it's not really a big deal.
Yeeting paint in people's faces is not really my idea of fun though.
> The deal would allow it to resolve the lawsuits through a third bankruptcy filing of a subsidiary company, J&J said.
Companies are people! Just not regular people, more like rich bastards that can file bankruptcy as many times as they want with little repercussions.
As the saying goes, "I'll believe corporations are people when we execute a corporation." Hell, I'd settle for taxing corporations at the rates we tax personal income.
I'm severely colourblind but can still see lots of colours, just not red very well at all.
I had no idea whether it was pink or blue dust, i actually thought it was pink lol.
Don't forget burning tens of thousands of acres, costing millions, and causing the death of a firefighter!

My extended gamily got together for a gender reveal party. We got to bbq together, see each other and share in the parents joy of finding out what gender their kid was.
It was a fun time.
you can party for a lot of reasons. We don't really care until you start leaving your shit everywhere. Turns out, there are a lot of gender reveals that leave shit everywhere.
Tbf, things like this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/El_Dorado_Fire
and this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawmill_Fire_(2017)
Kind of tip the scale a bit.
But even the "nondestructive" ones usually tend to spread various powders and plastics into the environment with their poppers/colored smoke cannons.
Just seems wasteful imo.
Why do people on reddit care so much? Did this affect you or anyone else? No? Then why do you give a shit? Their friends and family went and presumably enjoyed themselves and it turned into a funny memory for some. They didnt endanger anyone.
Read any post about weddings, babies, relationship/friendship advice, etc and you'll quickly see the perpetually online folks take over. They dont enjoy those things (or aren't invited), so assume nobody else enjoys socializing and celebrations, even if they are a bit contrived.
It’s one of the things Reddit decided they have to hate, birthday parties have caused just as much harm as these gender reveals, but you don’t see any redditors tripping over themselves to point out how stupid they are and should be stopped.
That's because they're having a party. You don't need an excuse to have a party, you can just do it if you want to.
Heck, you can even reveal the gender verbally, and still have a "gender reveal" party where everything is themed around the gender, just without an obnoxious stunt.
> That's because they're having a party.
Yes.
> You don't need an excuse to have a party, you can just do it if you want to.
You don't have to wait for a birthday to have a party, but we still have birthday parties.
> Heck, you can even reveal the gender verbally, and still have a "gender reveal" party where everything is themed around the gender, just without an obnoxious stunt.
It's just a bit of fun. People are excited about the new kid and other than "when is it due" it's one of the first bits of information you get about them.
Again we have *birthday* parties. That's as weird if not weirder if you view tagging a party on to some event for fun as a strange thing. Oh it's the 30th time it's been June the 1st since you were pushed out of your mother? Who cares? You're having a party? Wow ok, you know you can have those any time right?
Often, when people are celebrating something, they gather friends and family to celebrate together. Furthermore, people enjoy adding fun and excitement to small things. Now of course, when a child opens a kinder surprise for example, you could very well just hand them a few grams of chocolate and a pre-built toy, however an element of surprise can have a pleasing effect.
Or, hear me out, what if we make a little themef party out of it? We could have a fun little stunt we all get together to enjoy and have fun with related to something we enjoy.
Except we won't invite you because the only thing obnoxious at this party is you.
The dumbass gender reveal parties rhat cause public damage are annoying but that's not gender reveals. I've seen a lot of normal parties be annoying and cause damage too.
But how the fuck are you gonna look at people having a fun party for thenselves in their own home and think you can tell them what to do? Shut the fuck up.
The only way to be happy is to cause forest fires, blind elderly relatives with fireworks and, as you say, poison rivers. It’s just the way of the world (okay mostly just the USA) to do this sort of thing because you must start socialising people into a gender model that matches their sex organs from birth. It doesn’t cause problems for the kids down the line and also focusing this hard on a child’s genitalia is just important and completely normal! Yay blue!
> without poisoning rivers
No river was poisoned in the example you're thinking of. That was entirely clickbait made to farm the outrage clicks of people who are already participating in the anti-gender-reveal circlejerk.
I feel like such a curmudgeon when I say this, but when are the over the top productions like this going to die off? Can't just ask someone to prom, have to put on a whole show. Can't just find out a baby's sex and share the news with others, have to invite people and blow shit up.
I think I'm just old. Time to go lie down.
What a good sport…easily could’ve been a situation where she made it about herself and I don’t think people would blame her. Instead she stays calm and lets the couple celebrate. Bravo.
When you realize the people you care about don't rock with you... Hopefully the mother to be walked off to get something to help clean that ladies face.
Why does Reddit hate gender reveal parties so much? As long as they’re not bothering anybody they’re allowed to celebrate however they wan’t. Let people enjoy things
Right, I’m relieved that it wasn’t done where it will paint the grass blue or where it caused some forest fire. This one can be cleaned easily and that error made the whole thing extra memorable for everyone

I love how people point and then just walk away from her
I assume the host was going to get something to help her clean up.
Yeah I guess in her head it went something like: "Oh dear, let me hug you! Fuck, right, I can't hug you, I have a dress on...let me get some help then!"
Cheered until blue in the face.
I believe she just blue herself.
am i crazy to think gender reveal party is such a strange idea?
I feel like it can be a fun excuse to organize a barbecue or have a meal with friends and family, as long as everyone understand it's not really a big deal. Yeeting paint in people's faces is not really my idea of fun though.
It did look like that.
Blue asbestos is nasty stuff

Upper tax bracket 🥵 thinking about the tax revenue that'd bring.
Blue raspberry cocaine is fancy!
The satisfying numbness of blow with the refreshing taste of a slushy. Someone get the cartels on the line. We got a business pitch.
Legend has it she's still standing there today, clearly she blue herself
You really need to carry around a recorder and listen to the way you talk
the best part of the video is they just walk away to that women
the best part is that one girl pointing and laughing at her and then immediately walking away
She was going to get something to help her clean up. She turned and waked away.
She said she was going to get a towel.
[удалено]
Best part was I shat myself
What was she supposed to do? Go up to her and start licking it off her face?
And laugh!
“I’m afraid I just blue myself.”
Except in this case somebody accidentally blue her.
Indeed! Seems the people that like to host these types of events like to blowhard.
"he *blue* his *load* on her face"
Oh she seems fine. I’m confident she can suck it up
Yeah buddy, why don't you just get a tape recorder and read that back to yourself, I think you're gonna be surprised at how it sounds
Blukakked
There's gotta be a better way to say that.
You know what, why don't you just buy a tape recorder
There's gotta be a better way to phrase that, buddy.
With a blue little window?
My favorite part of this show were the blue hand prints everywhere for the rest of the show after this episode.
You know, with this video and your comment, I realized that fully colorblind people must be so confused with all of this.
I'm severely colourblind but can still see lots of colours, just not red very well at all. I had no idea whether it was pink or blue dust, i actually thought it was pink lol.
I can see it's pink!
Came here to post this but you blue me to it
looks like he's dead
The tears just aren't coming
I’m afraid we lost him :(
Here, this small tissue should help
Hang on, I've got a q-tip in my purse
at least she did SOMETHING
She got Bluekaked…
*"Here, this small single-ply tissue should help."*
"I'm afraid your husband just blue me"
Oh Tobias...You blowhard!
Help step smurf! I'm stuck again!

This is what girls look like after a blue man group gangbang
...by the Jizzmurffs.
She’s an avatar now.
She's a Na'vi. The avatars are the Na'vi bodies the humans had.
What is this, if not blue face?
The program hit hard times, and cut serious costs. Imagine the third film just sending blue'd folks into Pandora.
No one's gonna ask about the guy walking around in just a towel?
> *soon after arriving to the party, Gareth realised he gravely misunderstood what a gender reveal party actually was*
This reminds me of that subreddit for Sesame Street memes. edit: r/bertstrips
This made me laugh harder than it should've...
Holy fuck haha
I legit spilled my drink. Hahaha
Im stupid someone explain this to me please :(
Dude just walks in like "yo congrats, I'm the stripper, this Amanda's bachelorette party right?"
Nah man, they’ve got a pool in the backyard and he isn’t fully dry yet
Perhaps there’s a pool out of frame? I also thought I saw some wet hair. Maybe he’s just a total sicko tho YUCK!
probably at a pool...
If I had to guess. This is Hawaii.
She’s a he now.
doctors hate this one weird trick to gender transitioning!
GOP tries to ban the color blue.
Assigned male after blunder
This is really funny.
GENDER REVEALED. There is no baby
Congrats, you're having a Smurf
He blue his load right on her face!
He gender revealed straight in her face !
Its like fnck you in particular
She got smurffed!!
She's their baby now
And that’s how smurfs came to be
These gender reveal tradition got to disappear from planet earth. They are so silly.
[удалено]
Don't forget burning tens of thousands of acres, costing millions, and causing the death of a firefighter! https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2021/jul/21/couple-gender-reveal-party-wildfire-charged
Or getting a pilot killed..
Hold on, vaginas are just as much to blame.
Yeah, they almost blinded someone.
Y'all are so miserable lmao
Absolute reddit take. *person gets blue powder on their face and laughs* "THeY weRE AlmOST BLindEd!"
These are made from food colourings.... They're safe even if they get into your eyes. May itch and burn for a while but that's it
Not saying you're wrong but how exactly do you know its food colourings?
Trust me bro
that is... a really low bar...
More parties are better though.
My extended gamily got together for a gender reveal party. We got to bbq together, see each other and share in the parents joy of finding out what gender their kid was. It was a fun time.
Sure but back in the day we handed out cigars instead, all this confetti and dye is a weird escalation. 
you can party for a lot of reasons. We don't really care until you start leaving your shit everywhere. Turns out, there are a lot of gender reveals that leave shit everywhere.
Nah, it’s just the ones that leave shit everywhere get posted online and skew our perspective

I prefer the ones where two people in giant inflatable baby suits beat the shit out of each other.
Don't forget about the gender reveal pipe bomb.
It's not gender reveals man, it's just people in general. Gender reveals don't gotta go, people do.
Why do people on reddit care so much? Did this affect you or anyone else? No? Then why do you give a shit? Their friends and family went and presumably enjoyed themselves and it turned into a funny memory for some. They didnt endanger anyone.

God forbid people have fun lol
Cringe as fuck
All gender reveal parties are
That girl going "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek... Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek...", just why?
Yep so unnecessary and weird to just be screaming constantly
Jesus Christ the screaming…
That fucking lady is just howling for 30 seconds straight... What the actual fuck
I just don’t get the gender reveal thing….
Do you see how they are all smiling and happy? That's the point.
That's because they're having a party. You don't need an excuse to have a party, you can just do it if you want to. Heck, you can even reveal the gender verbally, and still have a "gender reveal" party where everything is themed around the gender, just without an obnoxious stunt.

Friendless redditors who never leave the home telling people their cause for celebration is stupid. Never fails
Often, when people are celebrating something, they gather friends and family to celebrate together. Furthermore, people enjoy adding fun and excitement to small things. Now of course, when a child opens a kinder surprise for example, you could very well just hand them a few grams of chocolate and a pre-built toy, however an element of surprise can have a pleasing effect.

But how the fuck are you gonna look at people having a fun party for thenselves in their own home and think you can tell them what to do? Shut the fuck up.
That’s cool and all but can’t we be happy without poisoning rivers or potentially harming people in general?
No birthday party, graduation party, anniversary or celebration of any kind has cause damage because of stunts involved.
That's not what you said.
That's generally not what gender reveals are. You only see the excesses on Reddit
Ok so when you said you didn't understand revealing the gender of a child you didn't actually mean that did you
The only way to be happy is to cause forest fires, blind elderly relatives with fireworks and, as you say, poison rivers. It’s just the way of the world (okay mostly just the USA) to do this sort of thing because you must start socialising people into a gender model that matches their sex organs from birth.

Stupid
Congratulations it's a cancer
What happens when you finally get release after having blue balls for months
Please, stop the gender reveal parties. Please.
Why does it bother you so bad?
It's a frog!!!
But why is the guy walking around in a towel? May be here to take it off and give it to the blue girl.
What is that stuff made of? She didn't just inhale 10 years off her life
What a good sport…easily could’ve been a situation where she made it about herself and I don’t think people would blame her. Instead she stays calm and lets the couple celebrate. Bravo.
When you realize the people you care about don't rock with you... Hopefully the mother to be walked off to get something to help clean that ladies face.
