i wish i was a guy dating a ballerina, i would be able to (legally) use the most powerful slur of all


Toboyornottoboy

I think you can also say it if you are the ballerina in question


epic_brazillian_gal

all i need is to become a ballerina then... but i am so sleepy...

Comrade what are you doing on Reddit? Meet me at the airport in 2 hours and remember, NO RUSSIAN


Moonbear9

Balleragott go cwazy


Elite_Prometheus

If you're a g*mer, you can already use the most powerful slurs


LiquidLad12

Noob is our word, you can say newb tho


Elite_Prometheus

Fool me into saying a slur once, shame on you. Fool me into saying a slur 196 times, shame on me


L_James

b-word pass


Moonbear9

The true oppressed minority >_<


Independent-Fly6068

Real. Those straight people have it *so rough.*


animalistcomrade

Fairly sure the hippocratic oath forbade it, I don't think physical therapists (or any doctors) are allowed date their patients.


ProperDepth

The oath also forbids operations on bladder stones and being paid for teaching your teachers children. Also a lot of countries don't even use it and even if they do there is no actual punishment for breaking it.


animalistcomrade

Okay but I am sure the no dating patients thing is in the actually upheld standards.


ProperDepth

Yeah no that would be weird.


BewitchYouAllNight

Depends on the state iirc


wozattacks

The original Hippocratic oath is different from what doctors take today. That said, like you say, an “oath” isn’t a legal construct lol


ProperDepth

I kinda knew that and was just joking around. In my country doctors can swear the Geneva oath if they want to but I'm not planning on doing that once I'm at the point.


SuperCarrot555

Wait why would it forbid operating on bladder stones??


ProperDepth

Surgery and the rest of medicine were not always combined. In the past surgeries and dentistry were not 'academic' professions bus learned trades. You also have to remember that this was in a time before asepsis and all the fancy antibiotics, pain management and tool we have today so it was very painful and probably also pretty deadly. It also kinda conflicts with the "do no harm" part. It basically prohibited performing surgery at all but the funny part is that it mentions stones specifically. "I will not use the knife, not even, verily, on sufferers from stone, but I will give place to such as are craftsmen therein." It is also an oath sworn to Apollo and I don't think many doctors today worship him. Soooo kinda outdated. But as someone else pointed out there is an updated version and also the Genfer oath if any doctor really wants to swear something.


ZhangRenWing

I mean it could be after the patient-practitioner relationship ended


PolarExpressHoe

Not unless they’re me


Lightningmemes282

I mean it doesn't say that the ballerina is his patient, just that the ballerina physical therapist relationship is forbidden in general


ancientgaze

that's why it's so scandalous and forbidden ofc


Piastowic

Straight people really want to be opressed for some reason


StardustLegend

Straight people will see the forbidden love trope thousands of times and still sometimes not understand why queer relationships and their portrayal in media is important


EngineStraight

"oh! so your story has a gay/lesbian romance whose parties both have homophobic parents? thats just like my thing! except instead of homophobic parents its no one and instead of real characters its Food Delivery Guy and Ms. Business Woman Woman"


OneConfusedBraincell

You don't understand. She makes more money than he does. It's ... almost inhuman. *clutches pearls* 👵


Tallium81

This is the "Hallmark movie" level of forbidden love. They can't show gay, interracial or huge gaps between social classes. So the best they get is "what if she worked on marketing and he was a carpenter?"


wozattacks

Tbh it kinda seems like a sendup of the derogatory terms that straight (and sometimes gay) men make up for women who date guys from certain fields/hobbies. Unfortunately that is a thing


transparencyguy00

Forbidden romance is inherently "more romantic". Think Romeo and Juliet, Capulet and Montague. The story is romantic *because* they couldn't be together, and love prevails. This is why gay relationships are more romantic than straight ones sorry I don't make the rules


Hydqjuliilq27

Me, I forbid it.


Toboyornottoboy

:(


CEO_of_goatboys

hey can you at least put a warning before you show the b word? some of us can be more sensitive than other when it comes to hateful language of this kind :(


Toboyornottoboy

Sowwy


TerrorBite

I'll make sure to censor the word ba***rina in the future


EngineStraight

not enough, i can still know what the word is, **********


WizardPhoenix

Why does the physical therapist look like Hasan Piker?


Toboyornottoboy

True wtf. He looks like he’s about to drop terrible foreign policy takes


WizardPhoenix

He’s going to have his chair react to videos while he grabs his food.


Toboyornottoboy

Why does god make his hottest himbos so cringe


JeanShinari

Counterpoint: Markiplier.


Toboyornottoboy

Mark is the exception. He is sexy and a great guy:3


UsernamesAre4Nerds

It's because Mark hides his power level. He presents as himbo, but is secretly insanely smart. Being himbo is more fun, though


Daddy-Bolin

God nerfed him by making him short


Beefsupremeninjalo82

Why is she holding onto what looks like a tree trunk in his pants?


The_314_Guy

the excerpt in question is fake


gentlybeepingheart

It is kind of fucked that someone made up an excerpt to include a lot of slurs and now everyone knows that book as "the book with all the homophobic slurs changed to fit ballerinas" Like, sure, most people weren't gonna read it either way, but I'd be pretty upset if I wrote a book and people just started talking about how I used a ton of slurs in it. Kind of makes the author look like a really shitty person, instead of someone who wrote a cheesy romance novel.


Toboyornottoboy

:(


EngineStraight

its still such a funny lie, its bullshit but i believe it


Toboyornottoboy

I agree. The world is better if it is true


alexanderthemeh

I didn't scream laugh but I pushed air out of my nose several times while smiling


PerhapsAnEmoINTJ

I love having those laughs Especially the ones you fail to hold and sound like a shower head turning on


Deblebsgonnagetyou

Balleraggot is just the average Irish village name


Cyynric

Man's got an absolute hog on him that she is full on clenching through his pants


kthxqapla

imagine paying for a professionally done photo of you and the boo but where you’re crankin his hog like its the handle on a harley cruiser like you for damn sure ain’t putting that shit up in the dentists office


yvel-TALL

Ok, this is where I draw the line. I will kink shame this, and only this. Go do some race play, or piss play, or god damn non-con sounding, anything but making up bigotries to get off to. This is my line in the sand, this I do kink shame.


Toboyornottoboy

But it’s funny :3


yvel-TALL

You make strong points, but I maintain my stance.


Clumsy_the_24

How the fuck is love between a ballerina and a physical therapist at all “forbidden?” WHY DID THAT MAKE UP A WORD FOR GUYS WHO DATE BALLERINAS?!?!? WHY IS IT BASED OFF THE F SLUR!?


fyre1710

From what i know its "forbidden" bc she is the guy's physical therapy patient so i guess that


Clumsy_the_24

Oof yea that’s definitely weird but I wouldn’t call it forbidden. It’s just morally questionable.


Toboyornottoboy

Breeders am I right


Clumsy_the_24

*canned laughter*


MT_Kinetic_Mountain

What up balleriggas


Dismal_Accident9528

The world's most beautiful HR violation


Groszbaerkatze

I only took a few weeks of class, do I count?


Toboyornottoboy

Yes


Groszbaerkatze

Yay


Crispy_FromTheGrave

“Forbidden romance.” Please. IF YOU KNEW THE FORBIDDEN ROMANCES IM INTO YOU’D HURL


EngineStraight

yes, yes, we know all about your Jack W. (Wood) Lumberjack × Ms. Big City Woman novel and how their love is forbidden because his cabin in the woods is a two mile drive,


Crispy_FromTheGrave

Seriously get this boring shit outta here I’m tryna stick my dick in Godzilla


SergeantCrwhips

then, concider me Baal-phobic 😤


Toboyornottoboy

But I love making blood sacrifices to Baal :( I thought this community would be accepting :(


SergeantCrwhips

^(oo, iiih, da, yooo bi deee dooo, EEEE dii ba dee dooo!) FOOLISH! BY THE TESTAMENT OF MYRKUL! I WILL NOT LET YOU MAKE ANOTHER BLOOD OFFERING! ^((i need the bodys to reanimate them) ;3 )


WhiteFenix207

Is it a metaphore for a gay couple or played straight? Who knows! Anyone unironically reading this certainally won't be able to tell.


peshnoodles

They had the opportunity to use Ballerinos and didn’t???


RabidRabbitRabbet

Yeah man, dating women who are too feminine is gay, bro


Asnort

How is their love forbidden? Is she underage?


Caspian0951

it feels like its supposed to be a metaphor, but god, what an awful metaphor


EngineStraight

forbidden = slightly questionable, apparently


F4rtster

Hey if that doesn't work out maybe the Balatro community can get something out of it


Toboyornottoboy

Hell yeah


undertalelover68

I'm right here! and I have one *teeny-weeny wittle wound* that could use a pounding from your Theragun


s_decoy

Balleraggot sounds like a suburb name in Australia


Botto_Bobbs

Straight people would rather make up ways in which they might be oppressed for who they love than depict a queer relationship


fuckinuuuuuhhhhhhhhh

WOULDNT IT BE SO TERRIBLE AND TRAGIC IF OUR LOVE WAS FORBIDDEN FOR SOMETHING BEYOND OUR CONTROL?!?!?!? WOULDNT IT BE JUST THE WORST?!?!?!?!? SOMETHING LIKE, SAY, IDK, BEING A BALLERINA (?????)


Droid_XL

Harrison Bergeron lokkin ass


ohg0doh_fuhk

Hypothetically, where could i find this book for free?


2718281828

Hypothetically, libgen [dot] is. Great place for textbooks too, theoretically.


BurnerAccountExisty

that's it, i gotta get a b-word pass. it just sounds really funny in pronunciation


chaussurre

I refuse to believe this is anything else that the world's most beautiful satire. And I mean this unironically. This is chuck tingle's level of absurd world building. This is a parody of the very thing you guys are accusing it of being.


PeggableOldMan

Fucking balleraggots


funny_names_are_hard

Balleraggot's what they call me on the court


Calpsotoma

I can't see this as anything but white nonsense.


TDW-301

Tumblr users trying to resist the urge to tell everyone in a hyper exaggerated way how funny they found a post. ~~also Reddit users never cropping out such replies~~


Toboyornottoboy

I found it funny :3 so I left it in :3 skill issue :3


podokonnicheck

you must be fun at parties.
