Everyone wants to one up the last reveal.
It's special, I get it.
But it doesn't require such outlandish displays.

Michigan man killed at baby shower when cannon explodes

What is with Americans and gender reveal parties? Am I being totally ignorant or does no other country really do this?
Canada excluded because we basically copy everything they do.

Why don't people just do something simple like use balloon's or a slice of cake that is colored or something? Why do things need to explode?
I guess I'm an old man yelling at cloud for thinking this shit should just be tied in to a baby shower.
Makes sense. Bullets are designed to penetrate. Shrapnel just decides to. It's like cutting something with a knife vs pulling it through a tube of broken glassAh, shrapnel. People don't really appreciate how deadly it can be honestly.
And these gender reveals are honestly so dumb, just stop.
I hate that gender reveal is a thing. You already got a baby shower we need more parties for your dumb baby?
Are gender reveal parties a white people thing? Never had I heard of them until recently. This "gotta top the last reveal party" aspect is especially asinine.
Have your dumb gender reveal party if you have to but don't use it as an excuse to make explosive devices!
Yes, but generally people blowing themselves up at these parties are of a certain political ideology in which they would most certainly stay with "gender."
I would wager that people that do these things don't think much of gender identity and the difference between sex. Though I guess we could refer to these parties that way.
There is no greater label for a gender reveal cake than a "fucking cake"
We regret having a gender reveal back in 2013 (I had almost but not quite entirely emerged from my Fox News upbringing), but all we did was cut into a cake.
They really should start cracking down on this stuff. You want a gender reveal party where you slice open a cake to find pink/blue frosting. It's stupid, but fine. Your not hurting anybody. But you want to get a fucking cannon and shoot it into the air for all to see; yeah no. Arrest and fine the idiot.
You know, that would probably work. Structure it like axe throwing, but on a range. Let people go nuts and blow up random things, but have rules and regulations and safety mechanisms to ensure that they can't blow themselves up or set off the Firework/TNT while the sensors show people are in range.

My kid's gender reveal is gonna be lit!!
If its a 50 megaton blast its a boy, if its a 100 megaton blast its a girl!
Gender reveals (obviously baby showers been a thing well long before then) have been a thing for a minute but the popularity of social media definitely encouraged folks to keep "stepping up their game" in regards to this.
Condolences to the family and folks need to stop trying to go viral.

ay yeah, Gender Reveal Parties, I remember those!
I took this back in August when the El Dorado fire was burning. $8 million in damages and 22,744 acres burned.

It was created a social media influencer. She's gone on record as saying she regrets it.
A cake?? How am I supposed to get strangers on social media to shower me with likes with that?!?
Yep. I have a crate of C4 in the garage. We're going to level a city block and when the dust settles, we'll see what color the rubble is.
My mother-in-law has been very vocal in her disappointment at the lack of gender reveal stunts. I'm tempted to send her a card when my wife gives birth. It'll be a plain beige piece of paper which reads "It's a human!"
FFS people, if you are doing a gender reveal party, then do something more simple and not something convoluted like explosives and weapons!
I don't mind gender reveal parties (though people seem to dislike the concept, in itself), but please don't do something that can harm someone, let alone fucking kill them!
