I’m gunna start by saying, I wish I could slap everyone in the face right now. Lol a respectful smack in the mouth if you will.

Ok, so I was reading a thread on another instance that was going to defederate with us, and OBVIOUSLY It was irritating as fuck.

I’m gunna rant here a little bit, but I’m tired of being fucking demonized and spoken of in a condescending way.

I’m a white female a quarter Panamanian, have 3 half black and white cousins, a big black mother fuckin uncle lol I only date Mexican men, had a very close gay best friend, use to make out with other girls at parties when I was young and stupid (Drunk doing dumb shit) grew up in Southern California where being white was the minority and was hated on by Mexicans all the time, I’m indifferent about abortion, think a lot of trans women are actually more beautiful then regular born women, love gay people and drag queens and I’m a conservative republican.

I don’t see how all of that qualifies me as being a Nazi. One important thing I want to say is when it comes down to jokes and humor I think people take that in a certain way that distorts their thinking.

I’m not exactly sure how to word this but when it comes to you jokes and humor and being funny it’s not something that portrays my beliefs I guess is what I’m trying to say.

Like if I see a racist post about black people and it’s really funny, I’m laughing at the stereotype fucked up if that makes sense.

I’m not laughing and agreeing with it.

With that, there’s some memes or things that people say that are too extreme for even me to find humorous.

Why am I considered a bad person ?

What the fuck is so God dam bad about exploding-heads? I feel like people don’t have the ability to laugh at themselves anymore.

Like for instance if somebody posts a misogynist meme that makes fun of women and it’s really funny I laugh at it because it’s fucking hilarious but I don’t agree with that shit and I acknowledge that some people think that way.

It’s just a stupid dumb joke yeah there’s misogynist people but they’re not in my life and they’re not affecting my life directly I don’t care about them I’m just laughing at a fucking joke.

Why do people take things so God damn seriously these days?

    I agree with the overal sentiment you have. You make one joke and people want to have whole discussions about it. Like chill, its just a dumb joke.

    But I also think good jokes have an observational element to them which can offend a bunch of people.

    If you identify with a culture or group its only expected that people outside said group make jokes.

    Edgy jokes make or break on the observational element I guess?

    Its just ironic that people can appreciate a good submarine billionaire joke but get completely offended when you make a similar raunchy joke about ◼️ or ◻️ people.
