Why is every MumsNet thread like:

OP: "I like the colour yellow and don't like the colour green, any thoughts?"

Ms Too Important: “What does it matter!? Seriously get a life”

Ms Offended Mum: “As a parent of a kid who loves green, I find this post extremely offensive and dismissive towards my child’s favourite colour.”

Ms Repressed Anger: “OMG OP CANNOT BELIEVE YOU ARE GETTING WOUND UP ABOUT THIIS!!!!!!! …. TWAT.”

Ms Philosopher: “The question is OP, why do you like yellow and would you be open to like other colours? What defines colour anyway?”

Ms Eternal Victim: “Well, I like green and you are not better than us because you like yellow”

Ms Didn't Read The Post But Replies Anyway: “You don’t have to like yellow OP”

Ms Irrelevant: “Aldi sells pink shoes and I think they are lovely”

Right, hit me, which Ms you going to be today?

OP posts:

I bet that sounded so much better in your head earlier

SpinningTheSeedsOfLove · 10/07/2022 22:48

If you avoid the AIBU and Chat boards, you won't see threads like that.

EntertainingandFactual · 10/07/2022 22:49

We’re all different!

I can be any one of the types you are describing depending on the thread and the post I am replying to.

ShirleyPhallus · 10/07/2022 22:50

Why are so many threads referring to MumsNet rather than Mumsnet at the moment?

although I did enjoy the reference to Aldi which somehow has to be shoehorned in to every thread

CrowFriend · 10/07/2022 22:52

I was going to be Ms Bitchy but @SavoirFlair got there first

Heroicallyl0st · 10/07/2022 22:53

😂apt name, @CaptainPotStirrer !

Flopisfatteningbingforchristmas · 10/07/2022 22:54

You forgot the recent addition of I can’t afford yellow x. You’re so done deaf.

Hawkins001 · 10/07/2022 22:56

You forgot the one, who asks have you posted the same question

Hawkins001 · 10/07/2022 22:57

And the one, where some can do x but because others cannot do x, then no one should talk about x activity until all can take.p

Poppyseed14 · 10/07/2022 22:58

Ms Indifferent who can't get excited about this one 🤣

The Russian bots haven't quite grasped the spelling of the name?

Hawkins001 · 10/07/2022 22:59

Also the one who reads the op, but then reads between the lines, to construct a new narrative and answers

RichardOsmansXraySpecs · 10/07/2022 22:59

Ms Didn't Read The Post But Replies Anyway: “You don’t have to like yellow OP”

So many of these recently, it's infuriating 😣

I'm Ms Uses Too Many Emojis 😜😝🤪

ErrolTheDragon · 10/07/2022 23:01

You forgot Mr SpeakingAsAMan : "I'm colourblind , you women never think about people who can't see green, let's talk about me and my problem now not your silly womens thread"

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 10/07/2022 23:02

Ok, I’ll be Ms(?) Feminist - Why are all of your questions directed as Ms? Hmmm? Why not Mr?

Because autocorrect on some systems camelCases MumsNet ?

Why are so many user names nowadays not camelCased, which makes them harder to read?

P205 · 10/07/2022 23:05

Just because people identify as yellow-likers doesn't make them yellow-likers. We need safe spaces for people who like yellow. TWAXTEB!

I have no idea what the acronyms mean.

ErrolTheDragon · 10/07/2022 23:07

The OP also forgot a contribution from Dr Scientist (perhaps offering a hypothesis re relative numbers of red and green cone cells?)

CuriousCatfish · 10/07/2022 23:08

Yellow likers can identify as green likers but they can't change colour.

UnimpeachableBravery · 10/07/2022 23:12

OP is this a reverse?

Teddeh · 10/07/2022 23:18

Personally, I find the threads quite diverse. Even on the ones where the posters' husbands have just come back from the shops having bought up all the yellow label meat that may have been marked down in error, they're at least considerate enough to vary the type of meat.

iklboo · 10/07/2022 23:21

There are people in this world who don't even know what yellow is! First world problems much? Your so entitled (sic) <shrug emoji> HTH.

Changechangychange · 10/07/2022 23:29

OP have you namechanged for this? There was a very similar post about colours in 2015.
