    I used to be able to do splits and backflips and stuff like that! And sometimes we’d jump up and be held up by the other cheerleaders or something like that. That’s about as athletic as I can get, I’m terrible at sports otherwise haha

      Damn, that’s impressive! Jumping up and being held up by others is especially quite the feat, on all ends. Did you ever hold other people up? I imagine that requires some strength as well (though if two people were to hold one, I guess the weight distributes between both people)

        I don’t have the upper body strength to hold other people up yet, but I’ve been going to the gym so maybe someday 😉

          Cool! I wish you luck on that! I bet you must look (and probably feel) hella dope doing some sick acrobatic moves (I know I probably would, I guess, on a fictional scenario in which I am a cheerleader). Btw, is cheerleading more of a woman thing? At least that’s the image I have, from media. Not sure how many men do that. Do men do that? Is that common, or a thing at all?

            Haha thanks!! It is generally more of a woman thing, but there are a few guys who do it too!

              Interesting. I reckon men wear other types of clothes, innit? I doubt they’d be rockin skirts or whatever. Are skirts the usual cheerleading clothes? At least from media that’s what comes to mind. Skirts and tops (is that what they’re called?). And pom-poms. I reckon Lemmy could do with a cheerleading community. Maybe that could be interesting. Though I’m not sure if Lemmy supports video yet (images sure are popular here, but I reckon seeing the acrobatics in action would be cooler). Though for people interested in cheerleading themselves, from the inside (rather than outsiders), threads and discussions could be popular. Not sure what the prevalence is on Lemmy for people into cheerleading. What d’you reckon? Any interest in that?

                Not sure! People could probably post gifs of cheer routines and stuff though

                  Eh, I guess if one doesn’t exist, no one had enough interest to create it. I could create one, for anyone who’s interested, but I reckon an interested insider would be more suited for such task. Otherwise, it’d be kinda bland coming from an outsider with little understanding. Someone interested could probably raise a community with a better understanding of what someone interested in such community would want out of it. As such, I’ll probably not take in the work of creating and managing such community. Feel free to do so, if you wish.

                  Anyway, how’s things going? Much cheering lately?

                    Not much cheering, but lots of amateur porn filming 😂😈
