I think they've been watching too much porn.
Why can't he just say his son or stepson?

Largely a sublemmy about capturing drama, from fediverse spanning drama to just lemmy drama.
Includes lore like how a instance got it's name, how an instance got defederated, how an admin got doxxed, fedihistory etc
(New) This sub's intentions is to an archive/newspaper, as in preferably don't get into fights with each other or the ppl featured in the drama

IMHO you don't get to call them that until they call you dad, and that doesn't necessarily happen the moment you get married.
My mother in law married someone while my wife was an adult. She would never call him dad, and he would never call her daughter, that doesn't mean they aren't family or aren't close.
Nonsense, you call eachother how you see them. If my stepson doesn't call me dad that's fine, he's still my stepson
Correct take. "Wife's son" taken genuinely gives off very strong distancing vibes. It feels like he's trying to disown or reject his relationship to the stepson. It's kind of like when people say "baby mama" to refer to their current partner. No, there's no direct link between them and myself: we're just related by this other secondary relationship.
"my wife's _" is such a huge meme that it feels forced to even try reading it genuinely when a more organic way of wording it is available.
Cuckoldry has no temporal dimension
If a conservative's wife had sex with someone before she married him, the conservative is a cuck. In order to avoid this humiliation, conservatives advocate marrying children. This is consistent and inevitable logic
Pedocon theory is a theory like gravity is a theory.
Damn I thought I was the only idiot on reddthat.com.
Stop feeding the trolls.
You really refer to your stepson as your wife's son in casual conversation? That's highly unusual. You can't respond to a text conversation over the internet because you're going to go do something for an hour or two? This is dishonest as fuck, the guy is clearly mentally handicapped based on the post history and you're baiting him, be it consciously or unconsiously, so that you can farm fake internet updoot points.
Stop filling the fediverse with your reddit tier personal drama. No one gives a fuck that a moron is capable of typing a post on internet. You're acting a clown responding to it genuinely, and validating it with this blog post. This is how these people find the motivation to band together and make their little incel cults.
Word count: 134
It's not actually unusual to refer to them as such, especially if they didn't go through a formal adoption process. I wouldn't say it's common where I'm from, but certainly not noteworthy.
I don't think we should feed the trolls either but suggesting OP is responsible for others making incel cults is extreme.
I'm not sure how successful they are at farming fake internet points when I'm the only other person who saw it and up voted it.
You ok bud? Maybe avoid this community if you don't want to see stupid drama? You know, since that's the entire point?
And for the record, laughing at reactionaries is absolutely the right way to deal with them; they are incapable of introspection, so exposing them as the fools they are keeps other people from falling for their bullshit.
Christ, Kaboom is embarrassing. Just on every level -- as a man, as a person, as someone on lemmy, as a person who making jokes, just everything. God he's embarrassing.
There really should be a word for someone who acts so tacky, but is unaware that they are doing so. I guess "conservative" will have to do.
I think we need to use the 'bootlicker' word more, because we need to point out these are people stanning for rich people. So it's some combination of 'self-made slave,' 'cruel,' and 'tactless.'
Either way, it's like watching someone elses kid on the playground eating cat shit out of the sand box.
Can't they just say stepson? It is still pretty funny tbh
Yeah, it definitely sounds like they're going for the "my wife's boyfriend" meme.
They could just say "son" too, but that might depend more on their relationship.
Stepson might involve some kind of adoption, or, I don’t know… My dad remarried when I was in my late teens, but I didn’t see him much. His wife has never been referred to as my stepmom, etc, but my situation might be different due to a lack of closeness. The OP clearly has some kind of relationship with the kid since they are going to pick them up, but I can see how they might not have that kind of label.
Stepchildren don't have to be adopted to be considered stepchildren.
