        “gender-neutral candy”

        Jesus Christ these people are so legitimately terrified of everything. Every single thing they make or do is riddled with their insecurities like that.

        Man as someone with a kid who is both allergic to dairy and gluten this just makes me sad.

        My kid has real dietary needs, and I try not to burden whoever is handing out free candy for n Halloween with this.

        My wife and I have taught my kid to be thankful to everyone, even if they can’t eat that particular candy when we do an allergen check later that night.

          I’m similar to your kid. I have celiac and also severe lactose intolerance. Fortunately, a lot of candy is free of most allergens. For example, Sour Patch kids and Laffy Taffy. (Not sure if it’s vegan though.) I also had a nephew with a peanut allergy, so I try to read labels when I buy Halloween candy (though this year I decided to reverse trick or treat the houses on my block with kids and then turn the lights off, since kids don’t really go out anymore like they used to.)

              Good to know, thanks! I think most of the candy I eat is vegan. In fact, it would probably be an easy switch for me to go vegan.

      The only other version I’ve seen has all the kids asking for fentanyl.

      Not sure what the original is.

      Well according to some vegans human do not count. So human meat is vegan too.

      If someone gives their body willingly it is technically vegan to some.

    I remember being on a cub scout camping trip and while our group was on a hike, we passed a little creek and there was some kind of foam building up at a spot where the water narrowed and got agitated around and some kid just yells “ew is that deer cum?” A few of us (myself included) laughed and some of the other kids were like “what is cum?” Which just made us laugh even harder while the adults tried to just get everyone moving again.

    I don’t really get why this exists but I caught myself thinking that the gender neutral cum was missing, because I remember my dad lost his shit over the gender neutral candy on the original. He also lost his shit over gender neutral Santa and other stuff that is simply not a thing beyond other people like him bringing it up on Facebook like anyone actually wants that.

      I don’t get why it exists either. That’s why I put it in Lemmy Shitpost. But yes it should really have a gender neutral cum.

    Is this the part we’re supposed to say “that’s enough internet for the day,” and promise we’re going to turn it off, or just become desensitized and keep reading more depraved nonsense?
