Not raally. ‘it should be legal’ was in the statement they replied to. Which means they do the action regardless of the legality
Comment on People who park in the handicapped ramp boil my blood.
jopepa@lemmy.world 5 months agoThey said they do that “regardless” implying they either key cars regardless of whether they park illegally or not Or they key cars that park illegally regardless of whether they’re disabled or not. I’m not defending or attacking anything. It was a confusing use of regardless and I thought it was funny enough to point out.

No one is arguing that people shouldn’t get their cars keyed for parking like assholes, so that’s beside the point. I said it because it was funny reading exactly into what they said in the context of this conversation. You’re translating their intent correctly, but that’s not very funny to me. Anyways have a nice day.

There’s a bit of an art to the “deliberately misinterpret what someone is saying” joke. I’m not sure exactly what it is tbh, but they’ve been pretty hit or miss. Maybe this one flopped because it’s poking fun at righteous rage that isn’t often in the mood for being made fun of, so it assumes any pushback is serious, but that’s just a guess.

Regardless of the legality of it was my interpretation.
