    I am not in on this, can someone educate me so that I can understand your weird jokes?

      The ad on the left is for gaming products, but the picture is for a hair eraser/exfoliator. The joke is that gamers are all uWu femboys.

      I mean, a lot of us probably are, but there’s going to be a few that are outliers.

      Then again, I like my legs being hair free, especially during summer, makes me feel cooler (but only temperature wise, I’m as awkward as all hell otherwise)

      Amazon ads for “gamer” stuff that is otherwise very femme coded happens when Amazon thinks you are trans and serves you ads about it (presumably before the recipient knows)

        That’s indeed interesting, I never get femme coded stuff recommended and I’m a cis woman gamer… Amazon just wants to sell me faster SSDs

        Oh sorry I should have been more specific. What is the product that the joke is about?

        Or is it just a funny pink shape that is feminine and that is the joke?
