The late 2000s/early 2010s adage that comedy must be derived by misery or social transgression on some level has warped into some truly nefarious takes and views on the world but also is a bizarre take to come to in an era which popularised memes like this
Hot take: prank YouTubers/Tik tokers and “edgy” (punch down to be offensive) humour follows the same line of logic
Deliberately doing something to annoy someone, and then acting like it’s unreasonable when someone gets upset with you for acting like an ass. When someone does something to upset someone else, the reaction should be “oh I’m sorry, I won’t do it again” not “hahah deal with it.” The logic is completely blurred when it comes to stuff like this, and people stop being adults.
My vagina be feeling like Hitler's apartment right now, if you know what I mean. (Only fans of the film The Producers will get this joke. If you don't get the joke, please go and watch that film which starts Gene Wilder and Zero Mostel, then come back and like my post, thanks!)
"Im not even sure anymore if we get to choose who our friends are" There is a part of me that resents you for making me a worse person than i want to be but i am inexplicably uncontrollably drawn to you. You make me a worse person which is the last thing i want yet i want you in every way. If i could leave i would. Maybe i can but i dont want to. I have fun with you. You challenge me and you captivate me and you push me and pull and run circles around me and it makes me feel like a younger man. For the price of being a worse person i get to feel truly, wholly alive. You are the blood that runs through my veins; vital, inseparable. I was reborn when i met you and you are the womb that haunts me. You are the one person on planet earth who knows me. I wish i could leave, move on and be the man im supposed to be but my heart is tied to yours in a gordian knot. There is a part of my soul that rests in yours, magnetic. For as long as i love you i cannot be better than i am. But maybe thats something i can learn to live with. Gregory House-- I think you're worth it.
when did you become mr stink is this recent what did I miss
ill be honest with you "severe alcholic" made me think to those people who say they have "crackhead energy" I'm better than this🔥🔥🔥 so I did a little bit of a hard rebrand🔥 I'm like the Phoenix okay I was reborn from the stench🔥
i looooove hologram rick it's interesting to me that they were able to make so many jokes about his oppressed identity ("thats incredibly holophobic", the protesting, etc.) without it coming across as a mean-spirited parody of real-world oppression&how people respond to that (re: it never feels like the writers are mocking gay people, for example, for calling out homophobia) and also in terms of rick being bisexual it kinda gives you a peek into how he'd check morty if morty was ever ignorant about that kind of thing
one thing i was reflecting upon was how many people i grew up around or went to school with who had senses of humour very similar how he used to be. the difference is that i'm certain very few of them actually grew out of it. in conservative environments, these things just don't get challenged, and some people don't venture into online spaces where they might be confronted over their bigotry.
sometimes it just feels rare to see a success story, one in which a person with those lines of thought actually acknowledges the harm of those words and actions (however unintentionally malicious!) and actively works to improve all the time. i wish we could take for granted that people will always see the issue with these sorts of jokes, but it's sadly not a guarantee.
so i'm proud to follow a creator who does, because i think it sends a great message to anyone who might still be digging their heels in. just because something is a joke, that doesn't mean it can't have the capacity to hurt. growth is welcome and encouraged. rarely if ever do we have a clean slate, but past ignorance doesn't have to define us now or in the future. we can all strive to be better, and that will never not be a positive thing.
i love dsaf to bits but alas . the first game is fucking filled with edgy 2016 humour . it doesnt really taint the experience at all and its SUPER easily avoidable (besides like. farfour being there.) but it does still like. exist ya kno.
