👁‍🗨 What do "I'm going to touch you" jokes, even mean? This is a genuine question. I'm attempting to figure out the proper meaning but each and every time it seems to turn out disgustingly depicted in my head.

It's joking about molestation

Some people use it as a coping joke

FINN DAY !! : 👁‍🗨That's what I'd thought. It's fine if others joke with it in the way of coping - never should someone be at fault for that. but I don't exactly understand why many people are saying it as a joke generally. Or why it has become a funny and trending one.

Yeah its bad. Now people are saying to literally everyone, and no one seems to realize that it does count as sexual harassment and they need to be careful about who they say it to

Like yes, it can be a coping joke, but just because you're coping doesn't mean that every joke you make is okay? Like you cannot be joking about that shit towards people you don't even fucking know

👁‍🗨It confuses me how anyone could ever be comfortable with getting told that, just because they're joking does not disregard what is being said.. Even if it is used as a coping joke sometimes, you are never allowed to make it towards people you don't know, as you said. It's purely disgusting, in that situation.

Yes, exactly

Bro I remember when I said that on quotev and I got a flood of rape threats and touching "jokes" in my anons

Just proves my point more

👁‍🗨 I don't have any words to respond with. People are downright vile. Truthfully.

They really are
