And now Gen Z comes along and demands that both men and women be allowed to wear skimpy clothes
lmao hooters with femboys
where
Why are these femboys all furries?!
It’s e621, which is just for furries
Oh ok, that makes a lot of sense then. Thanks.
Sounds like a good time to me
Is a femboy the same as a twink?
no, but they are often conflated
femboy = a feminine boy, sometimes like the opposite to tomboy-- a gender presentation and/or aesthetic sense or style choice
twink = an effeminate, small person, almost always referring to a man-- a description of body type and/or sexual dynamic
these are not exhaustive definitions and are kind of reductive, actually… but as a quick casual explanation I think they mostly stand
Buff guys hooters when
true equality
Damn Gen Z. Get with the times, jeez.
The best porn is tagged
equal opportunity lewds
Also, shit food and beer pretending to not be fell out of fashion. See TGI Fridays, Chili’s, Outback, etc. None of them are doing well even though they were killing it in the 90’s and 2Ks.
You used to be able to say you were going to hooters for the wings, it was still. fucking lie but it was plausible.
Brazil itself if keeping Outback lights on. They fucking love it.
When I lived near one I would get the wings delivered by Doordash. I liked them though they cost more than they were worth
Sexualized workplaces are perfectly acceptable if basic rules of consent are followed.
The problem with Hooters, regardless of things like the innate exploitation of capitalist systems and tip based services, is that we all know neither managers or customers were all that down with consent.
Growing up and never going there I always thought Hooters waitresses were topless. When I found out they weren’t, the whole thing actually sounded more pervy to me.
Strip clubs seem less demeaning to me lol. Hooters is basically if you took sexual harassment in the workplace and made it your gimmick.
I’ve been into Hooters and nobody sexually harasses the workers. I’d even dare someone touch one of the workers innapropiately… I’d like to see the beating they’d get.
The point is that it’s a restaurant based on sexually objectifying waitresses. Not that people act inappropriate. It’s that the entire thing is inappropriate.
And a stripclub is also based on that. Should we close strip clubs? Are you the one who is going to tell strippers that they can no longer work because their job is wrong? Should we also tear down the porn industry? Even women enjoy places and activities that objectify men. Have you ever seen a bachelorette party?
There are places for certain activities. Hooters is one of those places. Everything going on inside this place is 100% consensual.
There’s a place in my city in which women actually touch and get touched by the male waiters. Pretty hardcore stuff… Most people agree that whatever happens in there is fine as long as people can’t see from the street.
Not sure what’s with all the hyperbolic rhetorical strawman questions. My entire point is that it would be more normal if it was a strip club instead of an almost-strip club, like I said originally. What I’m objecting to is that it’s setup like a normal restaurant. Seems kind of pointless, too. If you want to go somewhere and ogle naked women, great, just go to an actual nude club and don’t take your kids.
It’s like some of these people on here think that you get some wings and then rape the waitress for dessert.
Yeah, pretty much it’s “let’s train people to think of waitresses as sex objects and stare at their tits”
I remember the first time I went. A vendor took us there for a business lunch as a get-to-know-you. The other guys were excited but I had never gone before. I distinctly remember my disappointment at the buffalo chicken sandwich and thinking these cannot be wing people. The waitresses were pretty but it just seemed weird to me that they dressed like it was still the 80s (in the mid 2000s) and the environment almost seemed to promote sexual harassment. Like it was a sexual harassment training ground or something.
It kinda is. If old perv dudes want to see boobs, theyre at the stop club. But here, they can get a stiffy while sitting with their young children.
7% over 4 years is really fucking good?
most restaurants dont last a year, including franchises.
Negative growth leads to more stagflation… Its only snowballed since the article was written in 2016.
I dont understand. I thought that was the selling point of hooters. Thats like being offended by a strip club requiring you to strip while working?
Right? I thought we weren’t shaming sex workers.
Only when consenting adult women wear tiny clothes to deliver food. I’d like to know which Hooters had sex workers.
We’re not shaming sex workers but we’re shaming Hooters workers? Where’s the logic in that? Let them work.
If we’re going to shame anything, shame the food. And the sleazy patrons holding it up.
Down with regular Hooters.
Up with Femboy Hooters.
I’m partial to AroAce Shoney’s, myself.
Hooters is an artifact of the 1960s‐1970s sexual revolution, before which we had very few opportunities to see bodies other than those we married or were related to. Hence we had the R-rated movie golden age in which naked boobs appeared at least once in a 90s minute run, And two or three peek-a-boo flashes of different boobs was good value. Hence the breast-count included in Joe-Bob Briggs’ drive-in cinema reviews.
So boomers and their parents (greatests?) got way more buzz from busty, tightly-clad waitresses serving greasy food than us younguns. Even I (GenX) had pirated Playboy channel before USENET supplied me with all the human specimens I could ever want. As a young adult I didn’t get the point, and post #MeToo, with awareness that Hooters is as exploitative as the rest of the hospitality industry with wait staff, it’s just super creepy.
So Hooters may just be going the way of the printed newspaper and the video cassette recorder. It once fulfilled a need that is better provided for, and now only has a niche audience.
Its such a weird vibe. I feel less sleazy eating at a strip club.
And now you’ve got places like Trim Peaks, which is basically Hooters minus the class.
The only problem I have with places like that is that they make me feel incredibly insecure about my own body. I’m not campaigning for a boycott or anything, but I really wish there was more diversity in the kinds of women they hired instead of reinforcing the current beauty standard by only hiring women who fit within it.
I’ve never been to a hooters though, so maybe I don’t know what I’m talking about.
CIS male, been to a hooter once or twice with work friends who insisted their hot chicken sandwiches/wings are good. I didn’t really like that style (Buffalo style hot sauce isn’t for me, as I grew up on stuff like Scotch Bonnet peppers and fin Buffalo mostly vinegary than hot or flavorful), and I’ve never felt comfortable ogling staff that has to put up with my bullshit(or lack thereof).
It’s just an uncomfortable restaurant.
The only time I ever considered going to a Hooter’s was when I was dating a lesbian. It hits different when your partner also likes boobs as much as you lol.
the only thing i know about hooters is the episode of saved by the bell the college years were they all worked at skeeters, which was so obviously just a parody of hooters without the chance of being sued
I don’t know where this info is from, but there’s been a Hooters open in Nottingham, UK for 25 years…
Hooters is good. People are far to sensitive.
Don’t like it? Don’t go.
