Reply to comment by [deleted] in China stages 'strike drills' around Taiwan, citing provocation by benh999

I don’t care if this is sarcasm or not. You’ve been told to fuck off.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted to hell, CremeSwimming definitely made an inappropriate statement, deleted it, and is now pretending like they didn’t make the statement. Fucking coward.

Thanks for fighting the good fight, friend.

People love to jump on the “you can’t take a joke” bandwagon even though:

  1. plenty of times that excuse is used it wasn’t a joke at all (see: Mike Pompeo’s “2nd Trump Administration” line in the lead up to January 6th)

  2. they think a joke gives it a free pass because they can always use that excuse and they don’t like that excuse being called out.

Maybe it’s because I have ADHD or maybe it’s because too many times the excuse is used to just get out of being called a dick for making inappropriate statements, but I’ve kind of stopped caring whether people making inappropriate statements are joking or not.

I can’t gather why. This seems like sarcasm.

Just because it’s sarcasm doesn’t give it a free pass.

So you’re willing to admit you got upset at a joke?

Because I’m the first person ever to get upset at a joke. /s

It’s a bad joke and it shouldn’t have been made.

Humour is subjective and yes it looks like 17 people agree with you however I found it funny. If this isn’t a joke the guys a fucktard. And I never said you were I just pointed out you’re getting upset at a (probable) joke
