It is legit funny to me though.

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 50 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

It's funny from the outside, but when you actually give it thought it's super fucked up and degrading.

Like the article said, one time was funny. Multiple times is harassment and a reminder of how women have historically been treated.

Yeah, there is too much baggage for it to be properly funny with the WNBA.

Now the regular NBA on the other hand, no misogynist baggage with fake dicks there. Much funnier place to throw one.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 10 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, until some Ron Artest-type motherfucker charges the stands.

[-] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

Come on, that would still be funny from the outside. I put my vote for doing it at the NBA games.

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 6 points 3 weeks ago

Then we can start betting on a player charging the stands!

Obv joke--i don't gamble.

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

we can start ~~betting on~~ paying a player charging the stands!

[-] Mac@mander.xyz 3 points 3 weeks ago

Shhhhhh

Plausible deniability ;)

I mean when Artest, Rodman, Wallace, and such were around online betting would have been golden. $40 says Indiana punches a ref when they play the Pistons.

NFL: $30 says Owens gets fined. Burfict gets suspended and Pacman Jones gets into an argument with a coach for the other team on the field.

i don't gamble

So you're the bookie then?

Only if they’re also throwing fleshlights at NBA games

[-] Lumisal@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Equality wood be Dildos for the NBA games too.

And I'd probably actually watch it if there was a chance of Shaq getting smacked by a double ended.

Basketball is boring to me to watch. I get the fun in playing it but not in watching it.

Edit: I'm keeping that typo

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 8 points 3 weeks ago

dildos stuffed in spring-loaded fleshlights so when they hit the court the dildos shoot out like spring snakes. only way to go

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Son, a man can get a lot of good use out of a dildo.

Sadly I only have two and a strong gag reflex

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

how do you see? hear? breathe? praise deer god it's a miracle!

[-] FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

That would be hilarious.

[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

There's just something inherently amusing about a wobbly sausage, isn't there?

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 9 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 weeks ago

Yeah, it helps if you actually hit where you aimed. You'd think you'd practice before the game, right?

[-] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Imagine pinpoint dildo tossing accuracy

[-] sundray@lemmus.org 5 points 3 weeks ago

There is a disappointing lack of good fundamentals when it comes to dildo-throwing, honestly.

[-] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 8 points 3 weeks ago

Wobbly Sausage

IDK, the original article is sort of in this Schrödinger zone. On the one hand, yes, it's harassing and you shouldn't make dickhead jokes where the principle of the joke is basically "lol they're women." On the other hand, people can do funny things sometimes and be dickheads, it's part of living in a free society. Definitely trying to crack down on it and tell them they can't is just going to spark this universal human impulse to say "Okay I hit paydirt here let's double down because now it's really funny if it happens again."
