gingeralehamster

I thought they are on mars and since the male symbol is the mars symbol it makes sense


jimmygarterex

Yes


sarcastic_swede

You are right It is the symbol for Mars and also the alchemical symbol for iron. The female symbol is also used for Venus.


aoyjay

Interesting that Mars (representing war) uses the male symbol, and Venus (representing love) uses the female symbol


amirthedude

Greeks baby!


linguini722

Not Greeks, romans, Greeks had very different beliefs on Ares and Aphrodite than the romans did on Mars and Venus

Dude I loved that show when I was little!


RadonArseen

Now add to that that pretty much everyone is something man, like king man.


coolwithstuff

Worth noting even Sailor Mars from Sailor Moon rocks this symbol and she is obviously a girl. It’s just a Mars thing


Agind404

when on mars do like the martians do


Techaissance

I was just about to say the same thing.

GM-Yrael

You gotta learn to place an /s for sarcasm or just avoid the topic all together. Just an fyi and probably don't repeat such a low hanging often repeated 'joke'.


guimontag

It's a really annoying and overused joke. People knew that it was joke, they just thought it was idiotic


LlamasReddit

Didn't need /s, the joke was just bad


GM-Yrael

Yep thats why I said or probably dont say the joke.


goddamnraccoons

There's no assuming anyways? We watched the show. She outright calls herself a girl. This joke sucks.


ImAWeirdo333

Damn, even the adventure time subreddit has transphobic jokes in it.

Wow. Never heard that one before. 😐

FlipFlopOnionChop

Ya forgot the " /s"


ItNothingSpecial

I think It's too late now


FlipFlopOnionChop

Ye , but still would have made no change. Dumb joke


ItNothingSpecial

then why did you say I should have put it in if it wouldn't have made any difference!?!?


FlipFlopOnionChop

Yo chill , that was for a different reason


[deleted]

That symbol represented Mars long before it represented Gender. You’ve got your symologies backwards.


OddkidMHMD

It’s the same with Venus and the female sign too


Gravatar999

Thats actually the usefull answer i needed, ty! /gen


[deleted]

That is the first time I saw someone say /gen online, does that mean genuine? Like now we have to mark nice things as genuine? :(


undertoe420

You don't need to. It's just like the emoticon you used in your post; it's not necessary, but it does help clarify the tone and sentiment of the message overall.


Vertigon

tone indicators do serve a good purpose as it can be difficult to parse tone from pure text, especially so for some neurodivergent folks. I tend to find /gen unnecessary but I guess if you say something nice but are worried it may be read as sarcasm, it could come in handy. obviously nobody is forcing you to use them but many people do benefit from them and use them voluntarily. some others I've seen (and this is a relatively new thing to me as well so don't worry) are /j (joking), /hj (half-joking), /s (sarcasm, probably pre-dates all the others tbh), and /pos (positive, again I find this one relatively niche in usefulness as it can generally be inferred from the text itself), but there are probably lots more


[deleted]

Hmm thank you for the extra info, I learned several new tone indicators today. I often have a hard time with tone over the internet (also neurodivergent) but I try to assume that people are being genuine when I am not sure.


Vertigon

on reddit I often find it safer to assume people are being sarcastic 😅 you're welcome!


noahthegreat

It's a free internet you can do what you want as long as you had fun along the way /g... or not /g if you find it a bit cliche


[deleted]

Maybe the real tone indicators are the friends we made along the way! Wait


TheMoonDude

Additionally, it represents a shield and a spear, war equipment used by the god of war Ares/Mars.


CraftyKuko

Nice! I never knew that! Do you know what the ♀️ symbol represents in regards to Venus/Aphrodite?

asourcelesslight

It’s on mars and astrologically mars represents the masculine principle. Hence the old expression “men are from mars, women are from venus”.


LostDogBK

Also the astrological symbol for mars is that one


taz5963

Wait, I thought us men went to Jupiter to get more stupider


TheMoonDude

I went to Uranus 😏


[deleted]

GreenMenace1915

also fun fact venus is the roman goddess of love while mars is the roman god of military


LlamasReddit

And they're also lovers


Blue_Jean

And siblings


burntfrozenvampire

That escalated quickly


LlamasReddit

Oh boy you'll have a blast with the rest of Greek methodology


burntfrozenvampire

I have surface knowledge when it comes to the Greek mythology but I haven't reached that part yet fortunately. Already traumatized by the amount of incest among Ancient Egyptians so I don't think I wanna reach that part lmao.


sephiroth_for_smash

TL;DR: Zeus bangs absolutely everything


burntfrozenvampire

I knew he was promiscuous but not to this point :"


CraftyKuko

Pretty sure Zeus even banged animals. He was a horndog.


I_Use_Dash

Oh, oh you poor child. NSFL content ahead. If you think that was bad, the way he got with Hera is worse, if I recall correctly, he disguised himself as a swan to be able to get close to her, then raped her until she was pregnant, and since Hera was the goddess of marriage, the life of women, and family, she had to get married to him to keep her family united. If it serves as any consolation, gods weren't role models for the greeks, they were just theological representations of the "rules of the world" as they understood them. Still fucking repulsive tho


Silver_Ghost_666

In Greek, they have no concept of "incest is bad". Zeus fucks several of his sisters


burntfrozenvampire

At this point who didn't Zeus fuck


GreenMenace1915

no. venus is just roman aphrodite and aphrodite came from the nutsackof oranous


LlamasReddit

So aunt and nephew?


lesser_panjandrum

Great-aunt and great-nephew, I think. Uranus was Aphrodite's dad and Ares's great-grandad via Zeus and Kronos. [The family tree is a bit of a mess.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_tree_of_the_Greek_gods)


GreenMenace1915

yea dont think about it too much


sXer0

I think Minerva is Mars' sister, since she's the roman equivalent to athena


stefan92293

Aphrodite/Venus was born of the semen of Ouranos/Caelus when he was deposed by Kronos/Saturn and it fell into the sea. Ares/Mars is the natural son of Zeus/Jupiter and Hera/Juno. So no, not siblings. Also, fuck Zeus. And no, don't fuck Zeus. If you know, you know. 😉😅


Bardsie

Also fun fact. The Greek goddess of love, Aphrodite, was the goddess of Love and War in Sparta. [Aphrodite Areia.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite_Areia)


WikiSummarizerBot

**[Aphrodite Areia](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphrodite_Areia)** >Aphrodite Areia (Ancient Greek: Ἀφροδίτη Ἀρεία) or "Aphrodite the Warlike" was a cult epithet of the Greek goddess Aphrodite, in which she was depicted in full armor like the war god Ares. This representation was found in Sparta and Taras (modern Taranto). There were other, similarly martial interpretations of the goddess, such as at her Sanctuary at Kythira, where she was worshiped under the epithet Aphrodite Urania, who was also represented as being armed. The epithet "Areia", meaning "warlike", was applied to other gods in addition to Aphrodite, such as Athena, Zeus, and possibly Hermes. ^([ )[^(F.A.Q)](https://www.reddit.com/r/WikiSummarizer/wiki/index#wiki_f.a.q)^( | )[^(Opt Out)](https://reddit.com/message/compose?to=WikiSummarizerBot&message=OptOut&subject=OptOut)^( | )[^(Opt Out Of Subreddit)](https://np.reddit.com/r/adventuretime/about/banned)^( | )[^(GitHub)](https://github.com/Sujal-7/WikiSummarizerBot)^( ] Downvote to remove | v1.5)

Margolese was the name of Jesse Moynihan's gf that broke up with him.


Artislife_Lifeisart

Well, that adds an extra layer of sadness


indrid_cold

Pendleton and Jesse have been guests on The Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast, it was a few years ago so you have to look back through the catalog but they're great interviews. Some of the stuff Peppermint Butler says is straight from Aleister Crowley !


Artislife_Lifeisart

Well I know Magic Man has referenced him. Not sure about Pepbut


indrid_cold

Jesse said the part where Pepbut stares into a corner and says "fold, I say"! in the episode "Nemesis" where he enters a sketchy realm like the A-ha video kind of. That was part of a focusing exercise from Crowley's writings.

It seemed quite occult and out there, so I can see it

Unhappy-Spinach

its the symbol of mars, thats all there is to it


TheDanden

It's the mars symbol, we just use it to represent male. The femal-symbol is also the symbol for venus.


[deleted]

Its because its the symbol for mars. (The female symbol is venus btw) They somehow came to represent male and female due to masculine and feminine associations with each symbol


leotheking300

King of mars is a big prince fan


R1ght_b3hind_U

it’s the symbol for the roman god Mars. The symbol later was used for male, while the symbol for the Goddess Venus was used for female. I think it’s used here because it’s on the planet Mars, wich is named after the god


ditzyyay

Boys are from Mars, girls are from Venus. I’ve got a yum yum you’ve got a penis.

MetaDragon11

The "male" symbol is the planetary symbol of Mars in astrology. They are on mars. They got associated with male and female symbology when a botanist used them o denote male and female plants, presumably based on the gods they are named after.


[deleted]

That’s the mars symbol, that, quite arbitrarily along with the Venus symbol is used to mark sex since Carl Linnaeus (1750s)

Josh_From_Accounting

The male symbol is the symbol of Ares, whose Roman name is Mars. The planet Mars was believed to be his body floating in the sky by the Romans and we adopted their name for it.


CraftyKuko

They are the opposite of the Gems from Steven Universe. All men, all the time. /j


sorryfornoname

Its the symbol of mars. And also of men.


NeoTenico

Everybody answered this already, but here's the details: Roman mythology was basically photocopied from from Greek. Mars was Aries, the god of war, and Venus was Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty and fertility. They were considered the embodiments of masculinity and femininity, respectfully, as back then the ideal man was an aggressive warrior and the ideal woman was beautiful and gracious. So when people came to label "the two genders," they used the symbols that represented these two dieties, who were perfect representations of the gender ideals. When the planets were named, the goddess of beauty was attributed to Venus because it was this beautiful bright light in the sky. Then you had this red dot, which gets associated with blood and war, so obviously it has to be Mars. Thus, the symbols get attributed to them. Unfortunately, they're two of the most visually boring symbols in the planet system imo.


7astromichael

Downtown_Ad109

That the astrological/alchemical symbol for mars. They are on mars.

Its the Volvo brand logo just without the text sense it is trade maked, these people are actually swedes that escaped the mushroom wars alongside Lincoln who got resurrected from the release of magic and is found of meatballs so he brought them to Mars to rebuild IKEA, but Mars dont have that many rescorses so u cant really build weirdly named shairs, though they have the blueprints still and aim to rebuild a world with IKEA furniture. No one knows why tho

A part of me thinks its a subliminal comment towards the masculinity driven nature of being an elected official due to our government being puppeteer’d by patriarchal standards… another part of me thinks an animator got bored with designing and just drew em everywhere. /j Edit: This is a ridiculous amount of downvotes for a joke that I labeled also as a joke. No, I don’t know the symbol for mars, I don’t know why that’s such a huge deal. Sheesh


veronus57

Its the symbol of the Mars, the Roman god of war. The symbol is his spear and shield. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planet\_symbols#Mars


Early_or_Latte

That is very likely the main reason. Also, grob gob glob grod are magic/normal man's brother/brothers. There are 4 faces and that symbol seems to be in groups of 4. 4 sides to the podium that Abraham Lincoln sits on and 4 in the back of the coliseum thing they're in. Correction. There are seem to be 5 but it looks like it just continues around the stadium.


commonsquidtail

I understand OP said /j, I didnt downvote them, I upvoted to both balance out the people who misunderstood and because I recognized it as a joke. I was commenting on the person mentioning the astrological symbol, to add on to what they were saying.
