Just to be clear, I’m not even upset. I work in STEM so seeing this all unfold has only further confirmed and given me more evidence that I was correct in my original assessment of the joke. I’m writing this stuff out in the hopes that others read it and see what is going on.
I’m all good with dark humor. But the punchline is not “sexual harassment is bad”, it’s “Sexual harassment is okay, and it is funny to harass people.”
That’s why, even though it’s fake, the punchline is still “look at this scenario, isn’t doing sexual harassment hilarious? You (the audience) should also do sexual harassment to other people because it’s funny, and people will laugh with you.”
And it’s worked, there is actual sexual harassment in this thread, people have been encouraged to do it because they saw me as an easy target (“stable boy”). They saw that I wasn’t for the joke, so they inserted me as the victim in the original joke. Further, people are upvoting open sexual harassment towards me.
That’s why I don’t really want to be a part of this community, and why I don’t even want to see stuff from this community. If this is what passes as acceptable humor here (the original joke, and then continued poking fun at users), then I don’t want to be a part of it.
We can agree to disagree. Again, not upset, just disappointed.
you could have just said “I’m on the spectrum and have trouble relating to, and understanding other people”. There was no reason to write an essay. (I stopped reading after you wrote stem, tbh)

That’s rich coming from someone who is anti-social. Stay mad. 🤡
And yet… It really explains everything about you and your inability to function in this post, doesn’t it?
