The joke is that this speech, imo tastefully read in the voice of a sinister anime villain, is an utterly ridiculous thing for a person to say. It doesn’t even make sense, really. That’s why it’s funny, it’s funny that it doesn’t make any sense.
I would know. This saying things that almost make sense kinda but really, really don’t thing is, like, my whole brand. It’s damn near the only joke I tell.
I once boasted to a friend of mine “my pussy is huge. Cavernous, even. I could fit a hundred cigarettes in there.” Now, a vagina? Cigarettes? Disgusting! Why would I say that? Because measuring a vagina’s diameter in how many cigarettes it can, I dunno, smoke at once? is absurd. It’s ridiculous. It doesn’t even make sense, really.
pretty sure redditors who 1. have disproportionately been banned from reddit for some reason or another and 2. feel some sense of victimization and seeks anti-reddit solidarity on Lemmy are going to have significant overlap with incels and misogynists. Lemmy has overwhelming millennial tech bro vibes ime.
that whole scene coalesced around edgy memes and their eponymous lords used that as a launching point for all that kind of nonsense. It is so much better if we actively choose to fight it when history tries to repeat itself. Maybe if a few more people had shouted down those chucklefucks back then we could still enjoy edgelord memes ironically today.
I’m all down for a post post modern retro future meme revival.
They aren’t even saying this is edgy in fact they like the meme. They’re just telling and informing us about the slippery slope that this sort of meme can give if a community isn’t aware of themselves. As an elder millennial on the internet, I agree with this sentiment that we should be careful with what kind of views and humor we share with each other. It should always be explicit that these jokes are jokes and not representative of the actual views of the community. Satire needs to remain satire
Criticizing women. Not that women should be free from criticism, but take this exact same meme without the “what hypocrisy” at the end. Is it less funny? Is that adding anything other than pathos for incels reading it?
There’s also the comment section. At the time I commented, two of the ten top level comments were saying to insult the woman’s vagina, and they were both upvoted. That kind of masturbatory five-minutes-of-hate directed at a hypothetical woman is pure incel shit.
She’s not real. This didn’t happen. That means whatever emotional reaction they’re having was just inside them waiting to come out. Incel shit.
transitive + intransitive.
vulgar.
: to post something online (such as a comment, video, or meme) that is deliberately absurd, provocative, or offensive.
I’ve tried bringing up these complicated issues in the spaces we are encouraged to talk about them (.db0) and was banned for not complaining about the same things the mods cared about.
Every week i contribute less to this space, i really wanted to support a reddit alternative, but this place doesn’t look like it will be much different.
Ugh. Ugh to this post, and ugh to the comment section.
I thought we left this incel shit behind on reddit.
I kind of considered it a joke and not serious in any context at all?
Can you explain the joke?
The joke is that this speech, imo tastefully read in the voice of a sinister anime villain, is an utterly ridiculous thing for a person to say. It doesn’t even make sense, really. That’s why it’s funny, it’s funny that it doesn’t make any sense.

It’s a shit post, don’t take it seriously.
As an elder of the Internet, I can attest that this is exactly how that shit started. Still a fitting shit post though.
Okay leave
Why?
Well, someone made a joke about about genitals and now that mean we are on storefront now apparently.

how is this even edgy?

Don’t take my comment so seriously.
How is this incel shit?
Pervasive sense of victimhood.
Criticizing women. Not that women should be free from criticism, but take this exact same meme without the “what hypocrisy” at the end. Is it less funny? Is that adding anything other than pathos for incels reading it?

Right. It’s provocative because incel shit is widely disliked. We’re saying the same thing.
If she is not real why are you bitching?
Why are you defending incel shit?
How is it incel shit?
This is the type of attitude that ruined reddit. (She’s not reading this bro)
I think Lemmy will be a good lesson for why reddit turned out how it did, feels like the beginning of a familiar cycle
yeah, I got downvoted for backing up a person who pointed that out.

Well, I promise disengaging isn’t going to make anything better. Let’s see how far this federated rabbit hole goes.
