She works for the pod Johns, which I guess isn't shocking.

idk, to me personally this joke doesn't seem any more offensive than some shit a standup comic would say
the real dunk tank is the person offended by this joke

i'm always bemused at this kind of 'whoa why so TRIGGERED' response when someone is just pointing out something stupid, often for a laugh (that is what the dunk tank seems to be for, btw). keep this idiocy within chuddy spaces plz
but this isn't even stupid, it's a completely harmless and obvious joke
i don't dispute that it's harmless and obvious, but it still doesn't make any sense beyond 'i'm a terrible friend and it's good that men are sad when they get dumped (??)'
Men examine your unresolved resentment issues to become an even better person challenge (EXTREMELY DIFFICULT)
Yeah, but that's the same as saying that it is not funny, but is moderately offensive.
That’s not really the way I meant it
What can I say, I loathe standup...
It’s still a mixed bag but it’s less “bitches be shopping” than it used to be
When I was a much younger, I saw a play called Comedians that ruined standup for me, I'm afraid.
Lmao haven’t heard of that one specifically but comedians get super cringe and self-congratulatory when they start talking about themselves as a group lol
It's actually all about the ways in which the commercial pressures on comedians lead to them creating impoverished, harmful comedy. It's a thoughtful treatment of the problem of bigotry in comedy.
Oh interesting, I’d like to watch that
Correct take, thanks.
shoving the 200 posts about Dave Chappelle behind the door. We would never deign to make posts about offensive jokes here!
To be clear, this is not a defense of Dave, who can blow me.
Punching up vs punching down, etc. idk man comparing this to Dave Chapelle seems like a massive, massive stretch
Your comment was a comparison to stand-up comedy, implying that it's unworthy of posting because of that. There were dozens of posts about Dave Chappelle's stand-up comedy, which was all stuff that's completely in the norm for stand-up comedy.
I’m not saying “offensive shit is fine if it’s a joke” I’m saying this isn’t offensive
you’re offended by this joke because you’re projecting an attitude onto it that isn’t there.
maybe I shouldn’t be vague. in this thread, there’s not a single she/her comrade offended by this joke. are all the women on this site man-haters? or are men on this site projecting their own resentments and insecurities into this tweet?
What's the joke
Why would women be offended by a joke about how men are bad
Are you saying the women on this site don’t care about men? Are you saying they’re too shallow to have empathy for you?
next day edit so I can get this thread out of my mind and offload the frustration:
for the record, this thread was during the pumpkin spice thing when we had a user making alts to curse out and threaten to kill women on this site because he decided women are shallow man-haters with no empathy. People have been calling him a wrecker but his original account is 2 months old and pretty convincing. a wrecker smart enough to run a 2-month long con where they get a good handle on leftist ideas and shitpost lingo and write a bunch of well-liked comments isn't gonna blow it like that.
I'm not saying people in this thread are as sexist as that dude, but I am saying that finding and liking this site is not a guarantee that a dude has a healthy perception of women and has examined his own baggage. The same shit applies to me too, so I'm not gonna fucking scoff like the idea is preposterous if someone says I might be thinking in a sexist way. Because I might be, and sometimes I am. That's the fucking world we live in, right? Deprogramming this shit is a lifelong process, right? Vilification and infantilization of women since the dawn of human history doesn't just disappear from your mind when you decide capitalism sucks.
🙄
The joke is that she sided with the woman instead of her friend so she inverted all the usual “my friend just got dumped” stock phrases. It’s a female solidarity joke.
don’t feel like posting the same comments multiple times so idk just read the thread dude
What are the usual "my friend just got dumped" stock phrases? Like "there are always more fish in the sea?" I think there's a genre of joke here that you're apparently tuned into and I'm not.
"she's better than you, you should be sad" instead of "it's her loss, don't be sad"
It’s not that this is a preexisting genre of joke, it’s that this being a joke is way more plausible than "the Overton window for twitter shitposts among women is literally 'men unironically do not deserve to be loved amirite ladies?'"
