    I don’t love the “haha, women are hysterical” tone here, but also it’s a solid pun. So I say bravo to your shitpost. Anywhere else and it would not have been received well.

      Yeah, it rides the line where you may have to explain why you’re laughing in case some idiot sexist thinks you’re one of them.

        Oh jeez, your comment reminded me of something.

        My boyfriend used to tell the following joke: “Have you heard about the Mexican magician? He counted from uno to dos, then disappeared without a tres (trace).”

        It definitely has a “had me in the first half” racist vibe, while not actually being problematic. Except one time he told it to someone who turned out to actually be an idiot racist. He was too stupid to understand the language pun, but heard “Mexican” in a joke and took it as an opening to tell some truly racist “jokes.”

        I’ll sometimes tell the joke still by modifying it to “Spanish-speaking magician,” but I am very intentional about my audience after that experience.

      I laughed because the idea of actually saying this to someone is hilarious.

      Hmm, better save it for an opportune time.

    What is up with all these puerile jokes lately? Lemmy is turning into a cafeteria table for preteen boys.

    I was thinking about commenting on misogyny, but I’m not sure the people making these jokes are ready for tall-talk.

      This post seems merely borderline imo, but lemmy in general seems to be a lot more relaxed around misogyny than the progressive atmosphere would lead you to believe.

      The silver lining is that while misogynistic posts get a positive balance of a few hundred upvotes; there are actually only a handful of people posting them.

        That’s why you should block me. I love that a shitpost in this context is being compared to actual misogyny. Words and how you use them matter. You’re bad, suck my dick through my jorts.

      This is a shitpost comunity, not the memes one. I think it is fine to post such content here. And don’t speak for the whole Lemmy because of a few comunities.

      Puerile, takes me back to Latin class in high school. Something something puer pueri nomnative genative dative accusative ablative SIR. Big brain on you clearly, so well spoken. You realize this is an intentionally bad meme in a shitpost community right?
