r/Topposts I Saw Her B-Hole Hole
A woman agonizes over whether she was morally obligated to tell a stranger at Pilates that her leggings had a hole exposing her buttocks—only to be told by the host that her own discomfort matters just as much. Meanwhile, another woman recounts a mother-in-law who weaponizes emotional intimacy, gaslights her, and attempts to sabotage her engagement by framing her as a villain in her son’s life. The most intense story comes from a Christian parent shocked by their 18-year-old daughter’s secret, years-long creative universe of dark, sexually charged fanfiction and world-building—only to be told by the host that their reaction is disproportionate and that the daughter is simply an adult exercising creative freedom. The episode culminates in a biting satire of emotional manipulation, where a woman cancels her ex’s first-class flight using her own miles—because 'exploring the world' shouldn’t come with a safety net. The core tension isn’t about right or wrong, but about who gets to define the boundaries of privacy, adulthood, and emotional ownership in relationships.
You’re not obligated to expose someone’s wardrobe malfunction if it causes you discomfort—your own emotional well-being matters.
A mother-in-law who frames her son’s fiancée as a threat to their bond is engaging in emotional sabotage, not just overprotectiveness.
Adult children writing dark, complex fiction in secret aren’t necessarily hiding something dangerous—often, they’re just creating a private world.
Parents who discover their child’s secret creative project should pause before reacting with moral panic—creativity isn’t a moral failing.
The line between concern and control is crossed when parents seize a child’s laptop or restrict their writing after discovery.

The Butthole Incident at Pilates
“If I was at the gym and working out and I could see some guy's butthole right in my face every time I was, I don't know, doing pushups, I'd be like, yo bro, cover up the hole. Please, I don't want to see that. Screw his feelings, what about you man?”
The Mother-in-Law Who Won the Lottery… and Lost Her Mind
“Have you ever thought about how I felt hearing about your abortion from the other side of the country? I'm sorry, what exactly was I supposed to do here? Send her flowers? A sympathy hamper?”
The Daughter’s Secret Dark Universe
“She's acting like writing fanfiction is some dark, mysterious occult hobby. I think I get a pretty good sense for why she kept this a secret because you and your husband are weirdos!”
The Ultimate Safety Net Cancelled
A woman cancels her ex’s first-class flight using her own airline miles after he claims he needs to ‘explore the world’—a final act of poetic justice against emotional detachment.
“Have you ever thought about how I felt hearing about your abortion from the other side of the country? I'm sorry, what exactly was I supposed to do here? Send her flowers? A sympathy hamper?”
“I just realized that flying first class on my airline miles is the ultimate safety net. If you're going to truly explore the world as an unattached individual, you've got to start from the ground up. Literally.”
“She's acting like writing fanfiction is some dark, mysterious occult hobby. I think I get a pretty good sense for why she kept this a secret because you and your husband are weirdos!”
