    'Murican Android user here. I’ve never gotten any shit pertaining to iMessage compatibility or this chat bubble color thing. I think what we’re hearing about is just a few toxic circles being presented as the norm for everyone here.

            That’s alright, you tried. Looks like people understood the intent and had a good laugh. One of my dyslexic wife’s better misspeaks was taking a guess at “Jormungandr”, and she went with “Juggernaut”. Gorilla warfare certainly is a more fun image to picture.

          It’s more fun the other way. And I wouldn’t be surprised if the possibly came up in some meetings when Harambee was trending.

      It’s more common with teens (80% of which are on iPhones here). Teens will grow up, and become adult iPhone users.

        As I recently former teen who never had an iPhone, the only place I’ve heard it talked about is California, but in Midwest/South nobody cares.

      I used to think the same, until it happened to me twice…

      I got playful groans both times for being the only person in a class group with an Android. I have an iPad so it ended up being a non-issue.

      Heck, I was talking to a guy with a Pixel 7 who said the woman he was dating thought it was a red flag. She’s 28.

      I’m not saying it should exist, but stuff like this very much affects people whether we like it or not and pretending like it’s a non-issue doesn’t help them.

        What’s funny is thinking that’s a red flag is itself a red flag.

        If I was dating someone who revealed they’re focused on petty shit like that, I’d be worried about a relationship full of drama.
