Yes,
and there have been replacements. WhatsApp, Twitter, BlueSky, even Mastodon should probably die. And that waste of goddamn space Pinterest, whose only purpose is to hold someone else's image in a lower resolution and sometimes have any information or source. It's just a dead end for research.
Maybe I'm too autistic but I just never could understand pinterest. I think it has something to do with like the same thing that femmes(edit: I meant this comment to include trans women but apparently it's not coming off this way. But I don't really know what word to use because honestly not all women have this tendency which Im talking about) do where they devote do much time and energy into their appearance and judging others appearances. It don't make no sense to me, kind of like the difference between doing something nice for someone so that you can get something and doing something nice for no reward. What good is either?
Go back to 4chan.
Calling women femmes is about the most cringe inducing way to admit you're a misogynist there is.
No need to lynch them :/ -- the queer community, being more empathic in general, use 'femme' to refer to anyone with stereotypically feminine traits, and this detaches the social stigma that all women must do x and all men mustn't do x. But with your comment you just implied that all femmes are women, which isn't true -- SJW out of the way the real problem is what the commenter was referring to: the overwhelming and ridiculous pressure on the vast majority of females, whether they end up becoming women or not, from a very young age to conform to a certain image for others to enjoy. The porcelain look of Geishas is one such example, as are the facial prosthetics a lot of women in Korea and China utilise.
