Yes and no.
We have limited cognitive abilities as humans. With every bit of information on social and regular media screaming for our attention its easy to miss the nuance. Add to that even the difference in culture in countries side by side there can be barriers to this absorption generated by our various cultures. You have to actively break from cultural norms to explore these other ideas and philosophies.
Might well be a little too deep for "I dont know any men" type memes.. 😅
A fair point but also, if one wants to say "hey they didn't give context to their joke, when the poster deliberately removed it from its contextual home!", there's nothing that can stop them, but also, they shouldn't be surprised to find people asking them to understand the context before complaining about the lack of it.
Consider something like "I didn't know Stevie Wonder was blind, and it's therefore not my fault that I didn't get the joke about Stevie Wonder being blind."
Like, sure, maybe it's not, but also, it would hamper any joke if you had to explain all context.
A rabbi, a priest, and an Iman walk into a bar (a rabbi is a spiritual leader and officiant in the Jewish faith, Judaism is a monotheistic religion, a religion is a set of beliefs that characterize a worldview including but not limited to spirituality, ethics, morals, social conduct and worship of divine beings...)
