  Because “it was just a joke” is a classic tactic.

  I’m wondering what the point of posting it would be in your mind?

    Imagine how cynical you have to be to think the worst of everything you read online. There’s no tactics. It was a joke. If you don’t think it’s funny that’s cool. But to concoct the narrative in your mind that you have speaks more about your own insecurities than anything else.

    Maybe next time you read something online try not to assume the worst when you don’t understand the context or the words. Hint: in the UK saying “innit” isn’t meant to evoke seriousness. Have you ever seen Ali G? Probably not I’m guessing.

    Now that I’ve had to explain the joke to you (regardless of whether you find it funny or not) are you able to answer my question? Why does your mind race to assume the worst?

      What do you mean “think the worst”? there is literally not other way to interpret it… Making a bad analogy isn’t funny, that’s not a joke.

        There’s literally another way hat I’ve explained to you. 😅

        I know what “innit” means.

        Oh good so you can then at least understand the tone or contextual background for what I wrote in the first place wasn’t meant to even be serious.

        Not really sure why you’re arguing about this. Sounds like you just want to pick a fight where there is none. Quite sad.
