Made this comic a few weeks ago but forgot to upload it here. Sorry to the west coast for all the fires going on.
3, maybe upwards of 5 (can’t remember the full number) gender reveal parties (with explosives and pyrotechnics) have started wildfires so far in the last two years. I don’t understand why people keep doing this but here we are....

Idk, seems like it could be the plot to a sitcom. You know, as long as you're not living it. Just aliens popping popcorn and watching.

Is there a video of the gender reveal. I'm just terribly curious at this point
OneRandomM8
Wait, ***five***??? I've only heard of 2 so far wtf
troelsm
At least they won’t feel any need to blow up the planet. Seeing how it’s already being done.
LessThanLess
Can somebody explain that why do gender reveal parties exist? Just seems incredibly pointless. Just seems bit.. greedy too
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
I get your point, but at the same time, let people have fun when they want to. No need to judge. Unless they set a state on fire, of course.

I guess Billy Joel is going to have to rewrite his song. Turns out we *did* start the fire ?♂️

Biggest gender reveal in history was when Japan learned America had a little boy.

Is that really what they did? I never read exactly how they started the fire.
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
Same. I assumed it was fireworks or something slightly less stupid than what's depicted here.
Thewinterisstillhere
At least in Jack Ass movie they put them in their own ass. I can't imagine someone doing this and tought that would be a great idea.
NessaAesyth
70% wild fires are started by arson. Although I can't remember if that stat's from Aussie or US. But that's a whole lot of stupid.
OlderWiser
There have been several arrests made of people purposely starting fires in the West but these barely get reported.
iamthecomet
I totally thought this was going to be some antifa forest fire conspiracy theory.
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
Do they do controlled burns in CA to eat up dry brush every few years? They do that in MT (or used to, anyway), and it seemed to help 1/2
HmmICantThinkOfACleverUsernameRightNow
2/2 remove some fuel so fires didn't usually get as out of hand.

The predictable outcomes of a culture obsessed with ego, lack of empathy, and refusal to think beyond easily steered emotions.

I have lived in US for almost 8 years i can say America has felt like a third world country every single day.

God help me, I live here and I don't know. I just try to keep my head down and keep waiting for election so I can do something good.
PotatOSLament
We were raised to think we’re special and grew up to learn that no one cares. Some people just can’t let go and it’s all cries for attention
morelikeconsham
We are learning that Americans cannot be trusted with forests prone to dry seasons. They were gender reveals this year, cigarettes before
morelikeconsham
that, etc, etc. That being said, I don't know if it is a uniquely American problem, or if it's just that people are bastards.

Is the people responsible getting charged?
unrealisticxpectations
A fire fighter died in the most recent instance, so I assume there will be some sort of charges at some point.
ristay
I don’t know for that fire but I know a few other wild fires that were started by gender reveals had the responsible party paying big fines
ScourgeOfAges
Wait there were more than one????
verdenvidia
Yes, but the wildfires were ravaging for several weeks already. The Rockies postponed a game bc of it. Those reveals were, like, 3%.

You know what I think about? ..that kid has to grow up knowing that his/her parents were the dumb fucks who set the west coast a blaze. 1/

Lucky kid. I wish I knew my parents were morons at a young age. Could have saved me the trouble of high expectations.

The lady that started the trend regrets it. The child of the first gender reveal is trans... It's an interesting interview.

Now imagine if the doc was wrong, like with my sister who they were certain was male till delivery and they were all "huh grats on the girl"

I think about how sex doesn’t determine gender. So they lit the west coast on fire for something that isn’t even a determinate existence
GuitaristFromThatBand
Sex reveal party doesn't quite have the same ring to it
randycheesrburger
What do you mean sex doesn’t determine gender?
Thewackknight
They're saying "what does it matter if it has a pp or a googoo, when they may decide one day that they dont want what they've got?"
ScratchJohnson
Sex is the genetic assignment (usually physical too) Gender is the social assignment/ identity/ brain that sometimes doesnt match sex
randycheesrburger
So sex determines the gender like 95 % of time? I think then it’s safe to say that in all but rare cases sex does then determine gender no?

I like of want to know so I can mentally name them something flame-related.

Charlie. Gender neutral. Subtle. Might figure it out if you let them play Pokemon.

What about Edge or Chopper?
RayMC
Is Ember an actual name? I thought it was Amber.
darkdragonempress
Amber is a mineral for jewelry. Ember is like the sparks that start the fire or near the end I think. Both technically names although 1
QueenAriofBelekovia
Does Ember McLain count?
Lucallia
I mean what ISN'T an actual name these days? Abcde...
paulrharvey3
Ember *can* be. Amber is, but means something unrelated.
twistymystery
It’s a name of a character on a tv series so that’s good enough lol
