is the guy being responded to like a confirmed pedophile or smth?

The person with the anime profile pic has the "no under 18" emoji (🔞) so they probably either make or share NSFW content. My guess is the OP checked out their profile and found Nintendo and Omori NSFW stuff and responded with a targeted quip

I looked it up. It's an independent surreal horror rpg. I'm guessing it's got a lot of fanart that is nsfw

Why ask? Explaining a joke is a lot like dissecting a frog. Maybe you learned something, but nobody's laughing.

I heard the saying as "you understand it better, but it dies in the process"

That's how I heard it too, but I go out of my way not to repeat myself. Repeating anything just feels like touching someone else's used... Skeet blanket

I disagree, I sometimes do laugh at explained jokes, if the reason is something I can understand but didn't connect the dots on rather than an in-joke that I don't have the context for.

Unless something is REALLY funny or unexpected, i personally don't really laugh anyway. Especially with a meme or online post, my brain just kinda goes 'ah thats funny'. This can happen just as easily after a joke has been explained, or if i have to look something up for context. Once i have the context my brain still goes 'ah thats funny' and now ive stimulated my curiousity AND my humor.

You know what would have been really unexpected, is if I went on Lemmy and said "explaining jokes is boring and lame" and multiple people didn't run up and write paragraphs at me.

And look, I'm not saying we're all autistic here, but we have a brand. I know it wasn't going to be a great chat, but maybe don't ask strangers to patronise and respect you.

Hot take: allism is a social disability and right here we have a perfect example of an allistic person complaining that they don't want a joke to be explained because their allism doesn't like clear communication. Allistic people feel an innate need to obfuscate communication because their brains need the exercise of deciphering hidden codes in everything.

I like learning things. Especially if I don't have to dirty myself with becoming involved in a youtube person's community.

If anybody would like to tell me the funny story but doesn't want to kill the joke, spoiler tags are an effective option ¯\(ツ)

The person complaining about the blinding joke is a gooner weeb so this is a classic case of people in glass houses throwing stones.

Ty. Crazy that someone can build an identity from just that. Especially weird because I had understood omori was like a psychological horror game about suicidal children?

Yeah, the gooner weeb likes the weeb game with the suicidal children, so complaining about a blinding joke is a bit petty

You reached the end
