NaoPb,

I suppose so. I’ve never met a moist person.

Sam_Bass,

They are definitely offended by most type As though

Valmond,

Sir/Madman

Your post is inspirational.

Cordially

MedicPigBabySaver,

As long as it’s beer.

milicent_bystandr,

Would you rather be lost in the woods with a man or a beer?

MedicPigBabySaver,

Many beers.

KillingTimeItself,

i thought we were better than the instagram/facebook word on background templates.

The internet fucking sucks dude.

hungryphrog,

What about dry people?

BonesOfTheMoon,

I rubbed them all with coconut oil.

milicent_bystandr,

They’re known as Arids, and there’s no typo here or they would hate it.

TrickDacy,

Nothing wrong with that word, it’s just a weird Internet bandwagon thing like pineapple on pizza

chatokun,

Sorta, it’s also a mental image thing and a visceral reaction. Like fear of clowns or trypophobia, there are valid reasons for the visceral reaction (being moist in certain situations can be quit4 uncomfortable and in some rare situations causes at least minor irritation or injury), but usually don’t apply for most circumstances. Clowns aren’t dead people, and most bunch of tiny holes aren’t insects or disease… well, maybe a lot of them are insects.

Visceral reactions are uncontrollable, so while it may be propped up a lot as a joke on the internet, I think it’s a bit condescending to assume something that doesn’t bother you doesn’t actually bother some people for real.

I know that I’d never heard a single comment about the word “moist” until like 2010 when apparently overnight 90% of the world lost their shit over it

Kind of like how pineapple on pizza was just something people liked or didn’t until like 2015 when everyone decided to grandstand about it

chatokun,

Yeah, generally people like to take a small issue and blow it out of proportion. I’ve always liked Pineapple on Pizza, but I know some people who can’t stand any sweet and salty mix. Similarly, I don’t like coconut in sweet stuff, but I love it on its own and love it in savory foods.

I’ve definitely talked to women irl who dislike the word moist, from friends, coworkers, and family members. I don’t recall any men getting disgusted with it irl, (except from that one meme) though I can imagine some uncomfortable situations (moist socks, moist undergarments, etc).

SPRUNT,

I’ve found that the reaction to the word “moist” is highly dependent on the context. For example, a cupcake described as moist sparks a feeling of deliciousness, while some potting soil described as moist gives me a sense of completeness or stability (plants typically need moist soil to grow, so it’s a good thing). However, a bus seat described as moist triggers a feeling of revulsion.

Context is key.

TrickDacy,

That is a reasonable way of looking at it. The Internet way of looking at it though, is to freak out any time the word is used.

powerofm,

I’m offended by the use of the Lobster font.

variants,

Don’t lobsters like being moist

englislanguage,

As long as it is not Papyrus www.youtube.com/watch?v=jVhlJNJopOQ

Monument,

My wife is so offended by Lobster font that I’ve heard her exclaim “Fucking LOBSTER?!?” from half a kitschy restaurant away.
I text her photos when I see it in the wild. I’m about to send her this meme. And then I’m going to send her a screenshot of this comment, and she’s going to be both very annoyed and want to kiss me.
