So I was sitting with a guy at work at lunch playing Mario Kart
He'd been blasting about his skill at Mario Kart for a while so I suggested we bring our Nintendo Switches in and settle things
He is a zoomer so has only ever experience Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the Switch. He didn't even know it was a Wii U game first. He hadn't even heard of the Wii U lmao.
Me, being a pro at every Mario Kart since 64 (SNES version sucked), beat him easily, but I was still very happy in doing so.
As I'm smiling and doing a little victory dance, he goes to me "You look quite feminine when you do that".
He's quite blunt but not in a mean way. It's like he's got no inhibitions about talking to someone about sensitive subjects. Probably autism.
I asked him what he meant and he went quiet and just mumbled "Sorry just thought the way you laughed and smiled was a bit feminine."
Someone else chipped in with "Yeah it's your girly lips."
I can handle shit like this so I didn't get upset and gave them some banter back.
But I've been thinking all afternoon. Do they know?
I've got a beard, male-pattern baldness and am quite muscly. Basically look like a stocky manlet. But do they know? Should I care if they do?
