It’s the classic of asking people who make unironically sexist jokes to explain what exactly makes it funny.
They tend to either shut up in embarrassment or start talking about how you just don’t “get” the humor and try to move on. Because they know they can’t explain it without looking like an asshole.
This comment has stuck with me the past few days. Top of the post by a wide margin. Apologists in the comments saying it’s meta-humor to just repeat sexist jokes with no indication that they’re terrible.
I’m of the belief that if you let that kind of shit go, ESPECIALLY on a meme sub, you turn into a toxic cesspit very very quickly.
