Few things grind my gears as much as men having ridiculously specific standards for women they don’t even know, so it makes sense that this viral clip of a Marvel fan brutally rejecting a woman because she doesn’t watch Marvel movies made me cringe so hard it undid my scoliosis.
If you’re on TikTok as much as I am, chances are you’ve come across plenty of clips from The Cut’s speed dating series The Button.
Basically, the episodes involve singles sitting across from each other in a speed dating setting with a button between them. When the button lights up red, either person on the date can slam it to swap out their date for someone else. If the two potential love birds get through 10 minutes without hitting the button, they get an all expenses paid date.
Of course this has led to all kinds of tomfoolery because no one wants to be the person rejected, so they slam the button first like it’s a competition. There’s a lot of brutal rejections on this show, but few more cringe than the following.
DonnyMariaThe collective shock among the women over Maria’s rejection actually gives me life. The solidarity!!!!isshe’s
