    Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it’s because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.

    Edit for clarity: Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer compared to other regions of the world, so maybe it’s more common to be like “ew beer” in other countries. In my personal experience, even people who don’t drink aren’t usually bothered by casual consumption, but maybe that’s because I come from a country with a relatively high rate of alcoholism.

      Lemmy doesn’t hate beer, it hates women. You think they’d be going on about a guy drinking a beer in a picture?

      I’m Canadian, I like beer… we all like beer here. Like what else are you going to drink, water? Gross.

      I didn’t know it was a general opinion on here lol, I don’t like beer either , it just tastes like liquid bread and even though I love bread the liquid version feels wrong, I like something fruity like a mojito or a cocktail! Generally though I don’t drink alcohol.

        That’s fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it’s more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why

          It’s actually pretty funny because the first comment I saw here was warning about how misogynistic the other comments are. Curious, I sorted by controversial only to find the most controversial comment is about beer hahaha
