Sex party is a much better term. Baby’s don’t have a gender yet.

Preliminary gender assignment party.

Sex reveal party.

Sex party obviously has some differing connotations that are very innapropriate in the context of babies.

How, do you believe, babies are made in the first place?

Sex reveal party, revealing we had sex

[–] edgemaster72@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty sure the kind of people that do these parties are already going around telling their families and friends (and probably internet strangers) that they were having unprotected sex on the regular, no need to have a party to reveal what you've already told everyone

It's also great for advertisement.

Gender reveal parties are fuckin stupid as shit

[–] EndlessNightmare@reddthat.com 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What's even worse is the one-upmanship that has taken off with these.

There have been multiple wildfires started by gender reveal pyrotechnics.

Surely you've seen the over-the-top absurdity on social media.

[–] SCmSTR@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I have, a little, I'm not on most social media anymore. But I didn't think it was competitive, just grandiosity? Or maybe that was the joke?

[–] 843563115848z@lemm.ee 8 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, just fucking stupid.

You'll see lots of giant clean mall crawl pickups at these.

Especially in the middle of a pandemic.

I mean, granny is closer to the truth anyway.

What happens in the retirement home stays in the retirement home.

Except syphilis. Gotta make sure that doesn't spread to the wider community.

First half response, "where?" Second half response, "goose?"

Narrator "It was in fact a sex party"

[–] lucelu2@lemm.ee 1 points 1 week ago

I actually went to a gender reveal party for a horse/mare that was pregnant. My friend breeds horses - about one a year. That was a fun party. Although the horse did not appreciate the fireworks (exploding balloon filled with blue glitter).

By far the most interesting part is what those questions were...
