I went to a board game convention a month ago, it was the first time I've girlmoded for something major. They put their own signs over the bathroom signs explaining that both were gender neutral and the only difference was urinals vs stalls. That made it soooo much easier on me and I was very glad

I'm a dude and i want stalls every time. I HATE pissing in a urinal next to a bunch of other people and get piss splashed on everything. So so so many bacteria.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 week ago

There are well-designed urinals now that don't splash back. Add to that, If there's a divider, then the urinal is convenient, quicker and imo cleaner because you don't have to touch the stall door or lock to close it and you're not pissing on the seat or sitting down. It's literally no-contact

I love urinals, carefree pissing

If I can, and it's clean, I always prefer to sit down to piss. I just want a break, man. Leave me alone for 5.

Indeed, I'm a furry and a few conventions I go to, even in red states, have temporary rebranding of the bathrooms to gender neutral for the duration of the convention as a requirement that the Hotel must maintain in order to keep the convention's business.

And since furries are either suspiciously wealthy or poor, but dedicated, it's a wise economic decision for said Hotel.

Here's a little known fact, gender neutral bathrooms are just bathrooms.

[–] [email protected] 63 points 1 week ago (1 children)

The gender neutral bathroom's already in your house!

[–] yonder 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They are also in your neighbor's house too! Get the pitchforks!

My son goes to a gender neutral school, my daughter goes to a gender neutral daycare, I work in a gender neutral office, and shop at gender neutral shops.

It drives me crazy to see a single occupancy bathroom in a public space labeled as gender neutral... Just say bathroom... Or even worse they went out of the way to change it from bathroom to gender neutral... Looking at you taco bell...

Gendered bathrooms should not need to exist because bathrooms should have some dammed privacy.

In the US, there’s a door for boys and one for girls. Behind each is a giant room with some sinks and some toilets that may as well be using cardboard and tinfoil for privacy.

Go somewhere more pleasant like Sweden? You have a short hallway with 3 or 4 doors on each side, and behind each is a small restroom including a sink and a mirror.

Every real and maga-hallucinated bathroom problem largely solved.

I love the idea behind gender neutral bathrooms, but I really wish they weren't just a band-aid on the problem that is disgusting American bathrooms.

I didn't realize how much better it could be until I went to Japan. Floor to ceiling walls, doors with curvature where the door and wall meet completely eliminating door gap, buttons to play music or water sounds...wtf America. Might as well be pissing in a prison in some bathrooms here.

If I was near here, I’d go to this place just because of this

It's pretty great. It took over the spot of a gay bar in town which had evolved to be more of a general bar while being explicitly LGBTQ+ friendly. They had to shut down for various reasons. I/O took it over and has largely continued being LGBTQ+ friendly, but now with more pinball tables and old arcade games.

The fact that stalls exist kinda makes me question why, outside of poorly aged "values" we even have gendered restrooms.

"What kind of bathroom does your home have?"

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Well, I guess since there are no urinals, it's for women. Men will just have to find a tree or corner outside.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 week ago (1 children)

no urinals

That's what the bathtub/shower is for!

I wish reviews used a "web of trust" so I could discard votes by Anders Holmvik and anyone who agrees with him frequently.

This is in my hometown!! Absolutely one of my favorite spots. And I cheered out loud when I saw this response a couple days ago. I/O is legendary.

Overhyped. i don't like the comment above. they make it seem like a big thing. i don like these kinds of posts..

when a post has "absolute legend" as the title, that reads to me like a youtube title like "We DESTROYED FOREVER!" or "This EASY trick is a GAME CHANGER". gooooddddd (im in complain mode now sorrii)

~nununununu!!!~ please understand that I'm angry at the reddit post with the annoying youtube title, not the repost here on Lemmy. On thus post, "No" is a pretty good title I think. it's not overselling it, it makes sense within the context of the funi and it's not an overused buzzword.

the REDDIT POST on the other hand! it goes out of it's way to be annoying. it repeats the the same meaning using different words. it pretends like this is a big thing: some employee replying with no to some comment about thir game. It's boring, overblown and who cares. It would have been funier if the reddit person just reposted the post and didnot add a dum and long subtitle to it. WHAT IS THIS? prepare for my next game, named Calm Compass: A side adventure in a parallel dimebsion. (very out of context, yes, srryy)

have I now become the one to overblow and overreact? am I now saying the same thing with many words? YES! ON PURPOSE!

im sori next time I will ramble shorter.

Also

Alright, that's gonna be it for this round of Smorty COMPLAINS about your somewhat well known topics! Tune in next episode, where I discuss, that AI is actually BAD for the internet and that it is RUINING the internet and that AI features are BAD and that OpenAI is now putting its LLMs into MURDER DRONES (not a joke btw) and that GOOGLE SEARCH RESULTS ARE USELESS NOW BECAUSE IF AI!!!!<|endoftext|>
