[lgbt shit] tragic confession
Quinneapolis
that format of joke where someone starts out sounding like they're angrily decrying someone being gay but then it turns out they're angrily decrying them being a giants fan or whatever
Quinneapolis
it's problematic, it's hurtful
Quinneapolis
and it's fucking hilarious to me EVERY TIME
Echo
...honestly, same.

Regarding My Inquisitor And Vaginas (The Jimquisitio...
this is the best one ever
★ тяу-нαя∂уи
...yeah same
RobotApocalypse
yeah this joke gets me every time honestly
Quinneapolis
I never MAKE this joke because it feels really mean spirited for people who have personally suffered through that kind of discourse
Quinneapolis
but yeah
RobotApocalypse
i have a friend who doesn't like them and he explained that it's because the twist always comes too late to prevent it from reminding him how it feels to be on the receiving end of that sentiment for real
Quinneapolis
yeah exactly
RobotApocalypse
that's valid, but,
Quinneapolis
it's like pretending to punch someone and then laughing when they flinch
RobotApocalypse
fuck me if i don't still find them hilarious
RobotApocalypse
yeah basically
RobotApocalypse
and since the twist IS the joke there's no real good way to make it work for people without the tolerance for it
Quinneapolis
yep
RobotApocalypse
it's just a case of "not all jokes are for everyone" i suppose
Quinneapolis
and if it comes down to it
Quinneapolis
I don't think my enjoyment of the jokes is more important than the comfort of the people upset by them
Quinneapolis
so they can go I guess
RobotApocalypse
yeah
RobotApocalypse
it's not a huge loss
𝔞𝔢𝔱𝔢𝔯𝔫𝔞✶𝔞𝔪𝔞𝔫𝔱𝔢𝔰
same on recognizing the harm and finding them funny personally anyway

thirded tbh

i am extremely weak to the bait and switch comparison style of gag anyway
NekoInc, MSPM
I get this, though I will admit a lot of the time the joke falls flat because what's wrong with being say a Giants fan? Since I do not have a strong attachment to sports teams, that's a thing
Quinneapolis
I mean, that's literally the joke
Quinneapolis
it's taking anti-gay rhetoric and applying it to something nonsensical to highlight how little sense it makes
RobotApocalypse
yeah it's using something meaningless as a comparison point to highlight how stupid it is to be mad about it
