    Isn’t this meme the wrong way round?

    Joseph Gordon Levitt’s character is the charlatan in the film

    I’m probably just not cultivated enough in the refined world of internet memes, but this comes across as “girls are noobs hurr durr”

        You did nothing wrong, people are just trying hard to find sexism where there is none. That template has always been 2 people thinking they have the same opinion but actually being very different. Could reverse those two and suddenly there would be no issues for them

          It was always the opposite in this template tho, with the girl being well versed in something and the guy being a newbie or whatever

      That’s because it does. The template pretty much always pushes the man is right the woman is wrong which plays into several biases pushes by society.

    So wait, not only did you add your additional privacy picks, you also added non-sequiturs for the topic like ChatGPT to the female character to make her appear not just under-informed but outright ignorant? Okay I guess

    What’s wrong with nord? Is it specifically bad or just not as good as other options?

      Even privacy advocates tend to rate Nord relatively highly. Maybe it’s just, like, the Yankees of VPN services and they advertise hard, so people knee-jerk hate them? (But I don’t know, someone can correct me if I’m wrong.)

      I’m disappointed in them dropping Meshnet, that was an awesome free perk.

      It’s bad because it’s bloated trash whos main purpose is to upsell their other services.

      It doesn’t even work right after you hop a few servers.

    I recognize the chrome and nordvpn logos, and a couple of the others look familiar, but overall idk. No idea what the greyed chrome logo is supposed to signify. Ok I identified librewolf. But, the joke is on them. No modern browser can possibly be private. Want privacy, use lynx.

    I don’t think the original meme with the whole Proton suit is that the one on the right is mistaken by the false privacy of Google, but that they both are.

    …Lemmy is so embarrassing at times. Did you know that Lemmy has a reputation for being bad for women? This meme is blatantly sexist. And here’s day two.

      Yes it probably would have been luckier to do it the other way around, even though I think the focus is on people buying into privacy without actually learning about it VS people who do. I don’t think OP chose this setup because they are sexist.

        Don’t worry about it, this same person had a chip on their shoulder they can’t back up about this meme yesterday as well. I think they were hurt by a manic pixie dream girl.

        They claim it’s “inherently” a sexist format despite know your meme showing that isn’t the case and the source being a joke about misunderstanding video games the concept vs the song.

        Yes, posting this doesn’t necessarily make OP sexist, that’s true. Just clueless and a proud member of the boys club that is Lemmy. Like I said, it’s embarrassing.
