I don't mind, rather, I enjoy dark humor, just not when it's thinly veiled actual beliefs. It's more supposed to be a way to show the absurdity of legitimate problems or be a easier way to broach tough topics.
Yeah, if it's truly just an attempt to not admit your bigoted beliefs, then it's a fair callout. But there are also cases where the insulting bigoted comment joke is supposed to make fun of the people who actually hold those beliefs, and those are fair game.
If there’s nothing funny about it, it’s not a joke
This doesn't excuse these people, but this is a bad way to define a joke. Funny is a subjective thing, a matter of taste, there is no objective "funny" to measure against to see if they qualify.
Jokes are about intent. There is no way to define what does, and does not, qualify as a joke without enough error as to make is useless. It is all about context, subject, timing, etc.
If I say some fucked up shit as a joke, it's only because I failed to see how it was fucked up. Or I'm being sarcastic/facetious. If the former, and it's brought to my attention, I'll apologize and not repeat it. If the latter... 🤷🏻♂️
However, I once repeated a joke told to me by my transfem sister that she learned in her trans support group and was called a transphobe on Reddit. Sometimes shit doesn't matter, they just wanna be angry.
Lots of jokes can be understood in different ways. On the internet nobody can tell if you are sincere, while a trans person at a trans support group definitely is.
If I repeat an alt right talking point to my buddy, he knows I'm being sarcastic and I'm making fun of them. But you can't tell if I'm alt right or not.
Kinda sad you actually have to explain this.
Yeah the sort of jokes from trans support groups often wind into the “this is probably not the sort of joke I’m comfortable hearing a random cis person tell”. Lots of jokes about dark aspects of our lives
This is pretty much my take on jokes using darker material. I'm a very sarcastic and facetious guy, so I say jokes in ways that imply I don't believe what I'm saying, which makes the joke a joke.
Of course, for every person like me there're ten who say them fully seriously
I want to cherry pick all the volunteering misogynist pricks from the comments section, let them go in a forest and shoot them for sport. With nerf guns, but still.
Ok you see, right there at the end. Thats big incel energy brother. It was wholly unwarranted. This poster made a general statement about trolls pushing the boundaries. This is a human condition thing. If the picture was of some dude, you would not have said anything. Your mind has been poisoned and has you tilting at windmills. You took offense at someone calling out trolls. Why would you automatically be on the defensive?
Normally i wouldn’t extend this energy out. But you seem oblivious to the state you are in. I don’t know if you will accept it, but honestly your best bet is to own this mistake and take a moment to just look at your self.
My dude! Your last paragraph was about how women don’t get to talk about men like that. She never mentioned anything about Schrödingers joke being from men, or a man. You supplied the justification to call her a hypocrite in your own mind. You admit she didn’t mention men, and without missing a beat justified calling her a hypocrite because you assumed she had made comments against men at some point in the past?
And even if she did, it would not be hypocrisy because she did not single out and attack men here. So she could not be a hypocrite in that way. Someone has gotten ahold and poisoned your mind and you now paint your perspective to where random comments are calling you out! The very shadows plot against you! That’s not healthy. And it’s the kind of damage that some rando on the feed ain’t able to fix.
This is why I only spread hatred towards people I actually hate, like the British.
The only thing I can't stand is people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... And the Dutch!
Where did you find such hate? The British museum??
But the British aren't people...
Can't take a joke, can ya?
TIL there's a term for this: Schrödinger's joke

its just a prank bro
And me acting offended was just a prank too. And no me picking your face is just a joke too.

what was the joke lmao
It's just a dog whistle and you know exactly the kind of people who do this and what party they vote for
Oh I'm sooooo sorrry if my abject cruelty offended your sensibilities and desire to be treated as a human being.
Lol couchfuckers
If a comment is funny to the person giving it and offensive to the target it's not a joke, it's just bigotry.
Gaslighting 101
She's being so sensitive
So .. Harley's beliefs are a joke. Got it!
The end stage of this is Groypers screaming the N-word at large public events, then filming reaction videos of the results.
Toooooo CHALLENGING for ya???
Conservative humor
Wait, did you do that or is this just a joke? This gets meta pretty soon
Okay NGL, I'd totally marry a bread witch.
Nah. Jokes are funny.
Funny jokes are funny. Unfunny jokes are unfunny.
Is this instructions and information or.....?
Haha, yes, I was trying to be funny by implying that you were telling me to sleep with blind people and find people who gives oral

Right? The point she's making had zero to do with being a woman, and she didn't single out men, but some dudes really love to tell on themselves.
Your going to have to explain your comment there, cuz it’s not looking to good for you
ah, so you just assumed she was a "misandrist" because she’s a woman on the internet who has opinions
there’s nothing misogynist about that no sirrrr /s
so tell me, why do you believe those words have come out of her mouth at one point or another?

The warm fuzzy feeling of a chain of DELETED when another incel gets owned. Back to the cave with ye! Vie! Brandishes broom

Let me guess: "iT wAs a J0kE bRo!"?
hahahahahahaha, sure I am
But that person only commented once.
You'd only be proving her point.
He's actually working undercover for the Big Bear consortium, pushing women to choose the bear one comment at a time.
More bad faith dipshittery.
