The negative/demonizing aspect of the friendzone comes from the retards who appropriated it to feel better about being rejected by a random chick they approached or being pathetic cowards who can't man up and tell their friend they're romantically attracted to them. Being in the actual friendzone isn't a bad thing unless you're a dumb cunt who obsesses over the girl and can't move on with your fucking life, in which case you're retarded and deserve to be rejected by everyone for being a clingy douche.

Look, a woman said it, okay? Now it's true. It's canon. Anyone who disagrees can drown themselves in sulfur.

It shouldn't be because I'm a woman, it should be law because I'm a logical / rational thinking individual. Stop being a sexist pain in my ass, Hank. :gray:

This was my own understanding of it as well.

When the girl also thinks of you as being practically family it also applies.
