Context is overrated.
This is how I imagine the owner of this t-shirt now

You think he likes fish sticks?
Yes, I think he likes to put fish sticks in his mouth
I dont get it
Saying “fish sticks” aloud sounds very similar to saying “fish dicks.”

It's a super overrated joke, you shouldn't worry about it.
The funnier part to me is that he didn’t understand the joke when it was released, and got mad about it later.

Riiiiight in the grouper pooper
GAY FISH

Honestly, I think it’s better this way.
I don’t know if I got the original’s intent. How does the missing line make it still not sound like he should be banned from aquariums?
It's a parody of a somewhat common shirt that says "Women love me. Fish fear me".
Wear a hat with the first half
Why is this an issue? They would still have a t-shirt that read that even if there hadn't been a misprint.

Fuck Reddit and Fuck Spez.
Sure, Troy McClure.
Send that shit to Kanye
Hey I'll have that shirt if OOP doesn't want it
You can pair it with the hat
Make america great again
Because I fuck the fish
That's a heck of a dadaistic phrase.
This would be even funnier than just the whole slogan on the shirt. Gives it a little bit of comedic timing.
When you are a straight fish fucker but then the clownfish you are hitting come out as trans so now you are questioning your sexuality
That's even better :)
I mean, apart from that being a weirdessage you'd wanna send, the core of it is still there. I don't see the problem.
Great shirt for Troy McClure...
Edit: oops someone already made this reference
