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.
Because that person is also him. They could have just said that and no one would care they'd just think that's a long way to go for a shitty joke.
@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
