Look up the phrase “the price of tea in China”. Then consider that perhaps things that make no sense literally may be an idiom rather than literally meant.
The clue might also lie with me referring to playing the game “non sequitur”.
I understood the initial commenter as basically saying they do what they want so long as it’s not immoral, which is a response to the post’s theme of not trying to follow what others tell women to be.
Which is why your comment felt more like a non-sequitur than theirs did.
Are you seeing a post about Chinese tea or a picture with this quote “Women are taught to be too many things that contradict each other so I’ve decided to just be strange and powerful.” - Shatara Leor. Because I literally referenced the quote itself in my original comment and at least for me that’s the content that I’m seeing on this post. I’ve been keeping with the sentiment of the post and my comment about it which itself is inline with the content. I’m not sure how that’s contrarian or off subject.
Yeah, I’m not sure what’s going on in this comment section at all. People seem to be getting worked up about it and the voting ratio makes me think it’s happening for a number of people. A glitch would make sense. I’m definitely confused.
Are you sure you’re on the right post? There’s nothing here about tea or China. Is Lemmy glitching again?
Are you sure you’re in the right group? (Hint: check the rules. Probably not.)
Yep, I’m a woman and I’ve posted here before.
I still don’t understand where anything about this post talks about China or tea. I’m just trying to make sense of this string of comments.
ETA: screenshot of the post I see, with context

“All the tea in china” is an aussie idiom. In this context it’s a polite way of saying “wtf has that got to do with anything being discussed”
Again? I’m a bit new. Also I’m pretty sure they’re just confused.
No, you’re being a fucking contrarian. So far off subject you lost sight of your own nose. Read the room.
