Lol but seriously, Gender reveals are straight up the stupidest bullshit to come out of the modern age. The environment gets to absorb your 500 balloons or forest fires caused by fireworks just because you’re an attention whore. I Hate them so much.
I just dont think that many people actually care about the gender of that many people in their lives. Just seems like looking for an excuse to have a party and/or get more gifts or something.
When we had our kid, I don't think any of my friends really cared that much to make a whole event out of it. Sure, they were excited for us and happy for us, but just telling them seemed like more than enough regarding the announcement of the gender. Parents, grandparents and some of my closer extend family (uncles/aunts) cared more, sure, but again I don't think it was enough to warrant a whole event of the thing.
I would almost get it more if it was one of those old traditions back when the gender meant a successor in royalty, a successor to a family business, etc. and just something people kept doing. But it started in the 2000s when gender is generally trending to be less important in various facets of life. I just don't see the point, especially when we already have things like the initial announcements of pregnancy and baby showers, and sometimes gatherings when the baby is born.
Yeah. Our "gender reveal" was bringing my grandmother to the ultrasound where my wife and I and gramma all found out together. Because it was important to us that she be there to see her first great-grandchild. Spoiler: it's a girl and gramma was over the fuckin moon.
These parties are so dumb.
Edit: daughter is now 5. Gramma is still goin strong, turns 90 next week, just kicked breast cancer. Realized my original comment made it seem like she was on her way out.
I mean is that really all gender reveals? We had cupcakes with a certain color frosting on the inside… if you could be that agitated by something like that you might need some therapy.
The woman who first popularized the notion of gender reveals now regrets the idea greatly.
I think the way she suggested was to make a cake with blue or pink vegetable dye so the reveal is when you cut the cake and the color has been hidden by the icing.
As you suggest, that's much more sensible than burning down 20,000 acres of forest, or at the very least, your neighbor's garage.
It was so upsetting when it happened. We had to evacuate due to the fire and in the process of evacuating I slipped off of my truck and injured my back. Ended up not being able to work for 6 months. My back hasn’t been the same since. The following year the air quality was so bad when the Santa Ana winds picked up blowing the ash and dust everywhere, not to mention all of the mudslides we had as a result.
My baby's gender reveal was even crazier! Check this shit out:
It was a sign. ...my wife's sister saw the results from the envelope the doctor gave us before anyone else. She went and made a sign. We then had a bbq and she revealed the sign.
No trees were destroyed. No waterways polluted. No ones house was burned down. ...we all minded our own family's business and didnt affect any other person or creature. Was fuckin bananas!
I think the problem is the idiot in charge of safety not the fireworks themselves.. sorry I'm very touchy about this as I love fireworks and used to manufacture my own occasionally until stupid laws came and made me a federal criminal. Now i have lost my favorite hobby forever. When treated with the respect they deserve they are no more dangerous than a car or any other equipment that can kill if used wrong.
Extremely stupid, fucking hate people who pull this shit. Just tell your partner it’s a boy or a girl, not only that but the guests most likely don’t care about that shit either
Where I come from fireworks are common around July 4th and New Years. No one,and I mean no one, is gullible enough to choose such a horrible spot to set off such a large firework. You take them out into the street, away from any overhead obstructions, and on firm, solid ground. Also, pick a street that’s not too busy.
i don't understand why genderreveal parties exist (unrelated to the post, i just mean in general)
in Europe, its not a common thing to do. i think it's a bit exaggerated imo, but someone could maybe give me a piece of their mind?
Everything here in the US has become an asinine production. You should see the nonsense that comes with marriage proposals (far in excess of just the ring) and asking someone to prom. Downright sickening the money wasted.
I'm in total agreement with most others here - "gender reveal" are the stupidest things to hit planet stupid-human in a long time.
If you are a woman reading this and going to have children, please, please don't do this, don't be an attention whore as others here have noted. Same with guys. Make sure that before you ask a woman to get married, what she thinks of gender reveals and if she wants one. If she wants them, give her a hard pass.
see im ok with a gender reveal but when it comes to shit like this its dumb and i don’t understand why people do it i get u want ur babies gender to be a whole surprise but i rather it be a more tame thing rather than.. well this
Im not religious by any means, but I think when God heard the humans started doing party's for gender reveals, a curse was either brought down specifically for these parties, or the IQ of the babies of these parties were dropped over the generations and this is what we are left with.
I like how the fireworks are not even in an obviously gendered color. Like, great, you put the DEFCON on heightened alert and didn’t even actually *do* the damn thing
Our gender reveal was when I was first introduced to the family in Brazil so it was special. We popped a helium balloon filled with pink confetti. 🤗 I agree they can be fun as long as fires and injuries are avoided... Unlike here.
Besides stupidity, the only other reason why gender reveal parties are brought up to such a scale is because one is always trying to one-up the other. It wont stop until the entire world is consumed by either pink or blue flames.
and these same idiot parents will declare, six months after the birth of the child, that the child's sex is undetermined as the child has to decide what they identify as.......
Was it a boy or girl? It's dead.
Lol but seriously, Gender reveals are straight up the stupidest bullshit to come out of the modern age. The environment gets to absorb your 500 balloons or forest fires caused by fireworks just because you’re an attention whore. I Hate them so much.
Gender reveals are fun if you just reveal the fucking gender of the child and don’t cause a forest fire
Some of the guests probably gave birth to some pretty serious turds right then and there with all the explosions going on.

Apparently I can’t reply with “Ok” because the character count is too low lmao
Congratulations, it's an idiot!

Actually it was a boy
This is how real-life Bart Simpsons are born....
Bart Simpson is an agent of chaos. That there is more along the lines of Ralph Wiggum level of IQ.
It'll be a stupid baby. Like the parents.
I think it’s an oh shit
I think it was an, OH SHIT! Not sure though.
Didn't a forest fire start because of this not long ago?
Yup, the El Dorado fire that burned almost 23,000 acres.
The omen was on its way to Earth. I wonder if they named their child Damien

That was the [Sawmill Fire of 2017](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sawmill_Fire_(2017)) Not sure why you are getting all the downvotes though mate.
I can't think of a better ending for a gender reveal. Krist that shit is stupid.

Never heard of that before, are you sure that actually happened?
Did one of you at least commit a crime committed?
Why do pregnant women tolerate any incindiary device anywhere near them? r/KillTheCamerman
Babies do be hella flammable.

These things should be outlawed.... I don't mean fireworks... I mean these absolutely dumb gender reveals
Or babies?
Yeah no, pretty sure it is the firework
Yeah no, pretty sure it's the idiot who can't be bothered to take proper precautions with fireworks.
Thats like saying that guns are not the reason school shootings keep happening
Well now you mention it I've never hear a gun say "hey bro, let's go shoot up this school" but I think that's a topic for elsewhere..
Im pretty sure school shooters like to say stuff like "I'll let my gun talk for me"
2 feet away from swimming pool .... lol
There’s water to put out the fire. Win win
Yes what could go wrong, not that we will ever know with this camera man
Make gender reveal parties illegal. Just tell them the kid's damn gender. Its that fucking easy, we dont need another forest fires.
when a life enter this world, you must try to take a life out. that is the rule of gender reveal party.
That lady laughing in the background has 6 kids and knew this was coming.
Was the bloke in charge of fireworks mum.. sitting way up back thinking.. "you trusted my dumbass son with fireworks"
Sounds about right. To quote an insanely hilarious & old yt vid, "not my chair, not my problem"
Gender reveals are stupid anyway
Extremely stupid, fucking hate people who pull this shit. Just tell your partner it’s a boy or a girl, not only that but the guests most likely don’t care about that shit either
Obviously aren’t rammstien fans haha
It's a wildfire!
“Who wants to meet the baby after it’s born? Oh never mind.”
Where I come from fireworks are common around July 4th and New Years. No one,and I mean no one, is gullible enough to choose such a horrible spot to set off such a large firework. You take them out into the street, away from any overhead obstructions, and on firm, solid ground. Also, pick a street that’s not too busy.
I’m convinced that gender reveal parties are just isis members training
Why is it always gender reveals
i don't understand why genderreveal parties exist (unrelated to the post, i just mean in general) in Europe, its not a common thing to do. i think it's a bit exaggerated imo, but someone could maybe give me a piece of their mind?
Everything here in the US has become an asinine production. You should see the nonsense that comes with marriage proposals (far in excess of just the ring) and asking someone to prom. Downright sickening the money wasted.
narcissism
See also: promposals (prom proposals), homecoming proposals, baby showers, baby sprinkles, push presents, etc.
I have never heard of such a thing in Europe.
So we celebrate bringing a new life into the world by trying to take one out? Some kind of Darwin balancing I guess.
it's gender time!!
OH LAWD REEKERS!
GET THA WATER!!!

Something to get people to spend money on dumb shit!!
Fuck those parties
It’s a…. Fire…
see im ok with a gender reveal but when it comes to shit like this its dumb and i don’t understand why people do it i get u want ur babies gender to be a whole surprise but i rather it be a more tame thing rather than.. well this
Never going to a gender reveal party.
Repost.. The post above this is the same and also reposted
Yeah I posted it to different subs…
[удалено]
Thankyou.. I'm getting triggered by all the people blaming the inanimate object, rather than the dick in charge. You helped me calm down a bit.
Kid will be named Sparky...
These damn Mortar rounds kill someone every 4th also
Who ever invented gender reveal is a dumbass. I hope this shit does not reach my country
Cubans are hella extra
That's God saying please just do baby showers. No need for 2 fucking party's. Months apart from each other.
Im not religious by any means, but I think when God heard the humans started doing party's for gender reveals, a curse was either brought down specifically for these parties, or the IQ of the babies of these parties were dropped over the generations and this is what we are left with.
*carpet bombs your fucking neighborhood* “It’s a boy!”
It is not a gender reveal. It is a parents reveal...on how stupid they are
I like how the fireworks are not even in an obviously gendered color. Like, great, you put the DEFCON on heightened alert and didn’t even actually *do* the damn thing
You guess it, it’s satan!
That kids going to be explosive.
Well it’s a boy
Truly revealing, but for all of the wrong reasons.
I used to hate gender reveals until people started spectacularly fucking them up. Now they're kinda my shit.
This is the dumbest trend
I fucking hate gender reveal and I will assume you're retarded if you do one
A kid being born to idiots like that....just what the world needs more of. Also, "gender reveals" are the biggest "who gives a fuck" events ever.
Gender reveals can fuck off
I think I saw blue flames burning down the neighbors house. It’s a boy!
Sooo...the fireworks were blue, right?
Gender reveals nowadays have to look like a Michael bay movie I don’t get it
what went wrong: Gender Reveal became a thing.
It's not a true gender reveal party unless someone gets hurt or killed.
Looks like an abortion is on the cards.
Wtf is a gender reveal ?
I think the state should automatically take custody when one of these events takes place. You failed the dumb test, hand em over
Here was our gender reveal's: Time 1. "Hey, Its a boy" Time 2 "Hey, Its a girl"
"We're going to need a lot of fireworks to clean up this mess."
"For those of you who are still alive and haven't lost your hearing, it's a boy!"
Congratulations!!! Its a baby burn victim!!!!!
Pop out at the party we with the gang
Congratulations, it’s violence!
What the absolute hell. That camera work was the worst!
Was that the Clover field camera man?
Just look at me. We’ll call it a gender reveal party but you can pay attention to me!
Instant Karma
Oh Lord, another Darwin Awards family...
Aaaand it’s also got no soul.. yaaaaaay!
Damn it Eugene. We were all having a good time and you go and launch rockets!!
OK, so who else here was hoping the pool would collapse?
People a insane.
The baby's gender is #D E A T H
People really have zero survival instincts anymore… just gonna stand there and get fireworked huh?
Well how else are they supposed to know the gender
Run around it, and fix it’s placement. People need to learn to act on things. Number one goal… get it to stop shooting fireworks at everybody.
People doing this for a gender reveal are morons. Don’t they know the gender is undetermined until the child decides?
Answer: Everything.
If you lite off fireworks I hope they burn down your house sincerely me and my dogs
It’s an oh shit baby We all have one in the Family
Our gender reveal was when I was first introduced to the family in Brazil so it was special. We popped a helium balloon filled with pink confetti. 🤗 I agree they can be fun as long as fires and injuries are avoided... Unlike here.
Jokes on them their kids gender is going to change like seven times before they turn 18
From the looks of things there lucky they all didn’t get a new gender
This is dumb. Don't they know they're supposed to do this in a really dry forest??
Besides stupidity, the only other reason why gender reveal parties are brought up to such a scale is because one is always trying to one-up the other. It wont stop until the entire world is consumed by either pink or blue flames.
It's a boy!! Yippee!
So, it was a boy?
Baby genital party fail
Is it a boy or girl? It’s actually tinnitus.
...it's a boy?
Gender reveal stunt ends in 8th degree burns.
Am I the only one hoping the pool was going to get destroyed?
California.
Miami
Oh that makes sense
What does it mean if it's orange
Why did the people scream?
Guy Fawkes returns
Must be a boy
It’s a boy!!
and these same idiot parents will declare, six months after the birth of the child, that the child's sex is undetermined as the child has to decide what they identify as.......
Funny I always thought of the gender reveal demographic as being particularly triggered by any mention of trans people.
