I kind of considered it a joke and not serious in any context at all?

Ugh. Ugh to this post, and ugh to the comment section.
I thought we left this incel shit behind on reddit.

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.
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.

How is this incel shit?
moakley@lemmy.world 2 days ago
-
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?
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.

Right. It’s provocative because incel shit is widely disliked. We’re saying the same thing.

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
_stranger_@lemmy.world 2 days ago
yeah, I got downvoted for backing up a person who pointed that out.
SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 2 days ago
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.
_stranger_@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Well, I promise disengaging isn’t going to make anything better. Let’s see how far this federated rabbit hole goes.

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.

It’s a shit post, don’t take it seriously.
_stranger_@lemmy.world 2 days ago
As an elder of the Internet, I can attest that this is exactly how that shit started.
drunkpostdisaster@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Okay leave
_stranger_@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Why?
moakley@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Don’t take my comment so seriously.
