I'm sure this is a woosh. Let me rephrase the thread.
It’s entirely necessary when I set myself up for that punchline. Was it a bit conspicuous when I mentioned a very specific body part they lack, and then made a joke?
I’m sad that you’re willing to be a dick to someone on the internet for a silly joke. I imagine you’re also rude irl.
@Gullible@sh.itjust.works
the set up and punchline worked, i think. maybe people are just sensitive to ribbing that involves mild insult about lack of education.
I thought it might have been the mild sexual angle? In any case, I’ve never had people quite this angery about a contraception joke
And their comments weirdly get instant upvotes while everyone else's (who got the sarcasm and got that you're not actually being rude) is getting mixed votes. hmm...
I get that we have broader neurodivergence here but isn't it too much for someone being THAT invested about being butthurt about a sarcastic joke?
@xx3rawr@sh.itjust.works
it is sad. and also weird theyre offended for something not directed to them. the person who was being replied to was not offended in the least.
@Gullible@sh.itjust.works
thats part of the joke, which i found funny. exhausting how something witty devolved into this. dont understand where the anger is coming from.
I don’t know whether I’d call it witty, but I’m always game to look silly for fun.
Edit: on the internet. Doesn’t work out as well irl
I had the same kneejerk reaction to the comment, until I checked the link. OP could have worked on their setup a bit better, and is doing themselves no favours by doubling down on it
