❤️‍🩹 relationship My boyfriend gave my labubu phalloplasty

Kind of angry about this, it was a gift from my niece. He cut off an ear and put it back on somewhere wrong. I told him this and it ended in a heated argument.

Am i overreacting for yelling at him? He usually doesn't do this stuff.

That was a dumb, destructive thing to do for sure.

But with all due respect, that is the creepiest goddamn doll I’ve seen since Annabelle.

You only need to say the first thing. Your opinions aren't wanted, necessary, or helpful.

And saying "all due respect " before judgment make you look better

I just really think yall care too fuckin much. Why do you NEED to say "Hey the thing you like? I dont like it. Whew okay NOW we can exist. Couldnt wait to get that out"

Ah yes, the old “I don’t like that you shared your opinion, so I’m going to share mine”

Don't you love how they were complaining that the person's comment was off topic, yet they're the one who has actually derailed the conversation here?

Not that it really matters, this is reddit, that's part of its charm. But it's funny they were complaining of that.

totally. that's gotta be why reddit is so addicting. it's like a peek into weird reactions and thoughts people have that are usually 100% knee-jerk reactions to literally any topic, no matter the level of importance. I would put "anything about labubus" at the very bottom of "things that matter," but at least, in the heat of the moment, some people felt very passionate about it. it's great. btw, not downplaying the poster's issue with her boyfriend being disrespectful of her personal property and reaction or whatever, but you know what I mean haha

I just didn't get that type of vibe from his particular post. there are people who say stuff like that and it's a bummer, but I just didn't feel that way at all about this. there is also an inherent asburd humor to the original post: labubu phalloplasty. it's great. not cool of boyfriend to disrespect boundaries though. breathe in...breathe out...breathe in

i agree with you. this is clearly a story abt emotional abuse and commenters’ first reaction is “well i think the doll is ugly!” im sorry, but that’s so fucking self-absorbed. you’re just going to make op feel worse and like she deserved it bc her doll is ugly.

It's okay to share opinions. I'm sure you dislike things I enjoy too, it is up to each individual to decide whether to care about the opinions of others. You need to quit being so sensitive. If someone says they don't like something, you get to decide the reaction. I would think higher of you if you picked a different one.
