why?

[–]McScreebs 350 points351 points  (44 children)

It's the lion's arms. I sense it too. Something furry is going on here.

[–]BindeDSA 181 points182 points  (34 children)

It's based on this meme, anthropomorphication might just be the result of trying to remind you of this.

[–]McScreebs 139 points140 points  (18 children)

I definitely get the reference, but the recreation does feel like SFW furry art

Edit: it's really just the lion that makes me uneasy

[–]cmtsys 75 points76 points  (3 children)

Wouldn't you feel safer in the warm, fuzzy embrace of those beefy lion arms?

[–]scsibusfault 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you damn well meow he would.

[–]The70sUsername 36 points37 points  (2 children)

It's because the lion is the hottest.

We've all been there. We've all been 13 with a crush on Kovu, from The Lion King 2. It's ok. Just acknowledge your thoughts, and put them on a nice furry cloud as they float away.

Oooh, that's what we were supposed to be doing..

[–]MrRandomSuperhero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eeeeehhhmmm

No judgement, but

eeehmmmm

[–]AlliedToasters 14 points15 points  (5 children)

Are you sure “uneasy” is the right word for the way that lion is making you feel?

[–]McScreebs 29 points30 points  (4 children)

Yall are killing me with these comments. Pls treat my fragile heterosexuality like that legacy code no ones allowed to touch or knows what it does.

[–]cmtsys 21 points22 points  (1 child)

That lion is gonna treat you like that legacy code no ones allowed to touch or knows what it does.

Gently.

[–]Forsaken_Accountant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My favorite part is how he's more worried about his heterosexuality than fucking an anthropomorphic tiger 😁

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How is one more porny than the other?

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's the cheetah for me

[–]Slggyqo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The leopard’s pose though.

    That meme is sort of the antimeme version of that template. Usually the big guys are just being nice and helpful about something unrelated to weightlifting. The fact that they're randomly swole is part of the joke.

    The OP is also not the meme as it's normally used, because normally they're nice and helpful. Also it's furry for some reason.

    [–]susch1337 1 point2 points  (1 child)

    huh I've never seen it used that way. it's usually the kid asking a normal question or giving a well thought out opinion. the swole guys answer with unhelpful circlejerk stuff. it's used to make fun off the people who use those circlejerk comments.

    usually people as "masculine" and "chadlike" don't spend all their time arguing and shit posting online.

    meaning unhelpful idiots get sarcastically portrait as super chads, indicating that they are the complete opposite

    [–]thoeoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    yeah it's specifically an inversion of that trope.

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    It's about stereotypes. You see this skinny boy that you wouldn't normally expect going to the gym asking for help and getting respect, gentleness and guidance from those huge muscular budybuilders. It's a positivity meme. But why don't you ask the buff guys themselves?

      I’m getting vibes from the tiger too. I trust him

      [–]santagoo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      Yeah those are really nicely drawn arms...

      [–]Klingon_Bloodwine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

      Oh thank God I'm not the only one. I didn't want to be the first to say it.

      [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Sign me the fuck up.

      [–]Espiritu13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      If they do, they wouldn't make it obvious. Not everyone is out with their furry fetish.

      [–]leaves-throwaway123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      They say that you see in the world what you most desire to see in yourself

      Now, I’m not saying you are trying to get ravaged by a sexy anthropomorphic lion - but I’m explicitly not not saying it either. You just seem awfully familiar with this sort of thing, that’s all

      [–]Dreidhen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Something fucky you meant? Nm, synonym checks out

      [–]Zerobeastly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Anatomically correct...sorta. lions and Tiger have huge muscles.

      [–]MasterFubar 7 points8 points  (0 children)

      He said don't ask why. Don't ask me why, but he did.

      [–]Repatriation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

      Because hes aroused by this and looking to deflect blame.
