Jfc why does Lemmy hate beer so much? I guess it’s because many Lemmings are socially isolated, giving them fewer positive associations from using alcohol in a social context within their own lives. But maybe the international users are also a factor; people of European extraction are significant outliers compared to the rest of the world when it comes to beer consumption.
Edit for clarity:
Europeans and North Americans drink a lot of beer compared to other regions of the world, so maybe it’s more common to be like “ew beer” in other countries. In my personal experience, even people who don’t drink aren’t usually bothered by casual consumption, but maybe that’s because I come from a country with a relatively high rate of alcoholism.
I didn’t know it was a general opinion on here lol, I don’t like beer either , it just tastes like liquid bread and even though I love bread the liquid version feels wrong, I like something fruity like a mojito or a cocktail! Generally though I don’t drink alcohol.
That’s fine but there are several commenters who immediately attacked the girl who is drinking a beer. Maybe it’s more of a thing about women, actually. I just felt like the hostility was unexpected and was trying to understand why
It’s actually pretty funny because the first comment I saw here was warning about how misogynistic the other comments are. Curious, I sorted by controversial only to find the most controversial comment is about beer hahaha
Yeah, when I made that comment no one had even mentioned misogyny or the anti-beer crowd, so I felt the need to ask why people were being weird.
Although the misogyny is clear, I still think my hypothesis about Lemmy users being socially isolated and thus less likely to have a positive relationship with alcohol is also a contributing factor.
Latent misogyny combined with active hostility to beer, yielding enough rage to cause one to make a spiteful comment on Lemmy.

Lemmy doesn’t hate beer, it hates women. You think they’d be going on about a guy drinking a beer in a picture?
Thank you, just came here to say that.
I’m Canadian, I like beer… we all like beer here. Like what else are you going to drink, water? Gross.
Water? Fish crap in it you know.
I’ve used that one as “Water? Never touch the stuff. Fish fuck in it, doncha know?”
Like from the toilet? Eweh.
What do you mean? 3 liters of beer a day keeps sorrow away
? I live in Europe and beer consumption is insane here. Though I hate the taste of beer.

Beer doesn’t only taste like liquid bread, it is liquid bread.
True haha, also I completely cows are clearly underrated.
No…it isn’t. Chemically it is nothing like bread.
🤓
Because I don’t like the taste?
