Ok as a lesbian I just want to say that this is not a Lollapalooza specific thing, this kind of thing is not uncommon.
i know! It’s so disrespectful that these places get so much attention, but there are so many! Let’s list all the places that gather this outrageous attention!
Renaissance festivals usually have a very lively adults only section in the primitive camping area.
Your renaissance festival has camping? The one in my area is more like a theme park than a LARP.
They might be thinking more Society of Creative Anachronism [SCA], don’t know what those guys are up to these days though.
Well typically it’s a performance for other lesbians not straight guys so if you’re in the scene you’ll find out…
Did you just assume my gender? cause… what gave it away? Was it the blatant disrespect for anything other than my own needs?
Gender stereotypes get upvotes when you’re punching down.
Is it lesbian mud wrestling or is it sparkling same-sex sexy grappling? Trying to figure out if WWE is gay platform wrestling by the same definitions
I know a lot of gay pro wrestling fans.
In sumo, Ichiyamamoto literally has a life sized poster of Wakatakakage in his bedroom (they’re the same age).
Wait are you saying lesbians as a whole will just see a pile of mud and have a intrinsic urge to wrassle?
I prefer being beaten with a stick by a beautiful girl, personally, but yes, many lesbian flirtation displays involve relatively stupid relatively low stakes violence.
Just like many straight courtship displays.
Yeah the stupid, silly, and more adventurous flirtation is usually in certain types of space, but when I see it happening I feel so at home. Two girls making eyes at each other over a stupid feat of strength or toughness or whatever else gets me to let my guard down
I mean kinda yeah at least enough of us do
It’s like beavers when they hear running water and start collecting wood for a dam.
It seems like a normal Lollapalooza thing tbh, I had no idea it wasn’t!
I’m perusing New, but this belongs in the Hot section.
Im glad were still doing fun things
Alternate link that doesn’t make me visit insta or tiktok, please?
Fine I found this
That video was posted 14 years ago, though 😅
Yes. 🙃
Sounds like we need more lesbian mud wrestling… Done annually
the world is healing ❤️
spoiler
They kiss at the end.
90% of the peole watching… women.
Well. They did say lesbian.
If men are mud wrestling, I say “wack his nards”
If women are mud wrestling, I say “take her top off”
NGL. Everyone’s going to cheer when they happen
They look like they’re having so much fun!
How is this news? Isn’t this a normal, scheduled event at lollapalooza? I haven’t been in a very long time, but… Isn’t this normal?
Iirc, there’s a whole schedule of mud wrestling events
If the news can run “story about a struggling individual or animal overcoming odds through community support or sheer will, like the sickly squirrel nursed back to health by a man trapped in a collapsed cave.”… For the thousandth time…
Let’s just say I would rather watch this every year
Yeah, well, I will admit that “lesbians mud wrestling“ is a fucking ton of fun to watch
Lollapalooza or not
No, I was simply stating that as fluff pieces go, it’s a good one. Fluff pieces can be about many topics, the relative value of the individual subjects is irrelevant.
Comparing lesbian mud wrestling to a sickly squirrel is a bit rude, even in the context of “what might best grab headlines”. I know it was a joke, but still…
Equating people with animals, even indirectly, isn’t nice. It sets the precedent that there is a context where that’s acceptable, when that’s not acceptable in any context.
it’s not about nice. it’s about what gets the most clicks and brings in the most ad revenue.
the context is ‘story that makes us the most money gets run’
I’ll be in my bunk.
When I was young: “These events seem lame.”
Now: “These events are lame and my back hurts.”
When I was young: “These events seem lame.”
Now: “I should go to Lollapalooza.”
Then: This isn’t as much fun as I thought it would be. Kinda boring.
Now: I’m glad they’re having enjoying themselves, and I’m glad I’m not there.
Time to dust off this classic:
This thead is useless without pics.
Glad to see some of the original lollapalooza spirit still around
there was no mud wrestling at the original lollapalooza.
This is the Insta reel (I don’t think it’s necessary to read the article, and that site is full of trackers - yes, more than Instagram).
The audience really do feel like they’re performing to camera rather than genuinely having fun 😥
