Even if you've decided to just assume that tumblr is full of nonsense, you should at least appreciate that you're punching down.

I get the feeling that you're not in the mood to have a discussion about power dynamics and the relationship between comedians and society. Okay. I'm not super qualified for such a debate myself.The Wooster said:We like to think we punch in every direction.

That's because ************ doesn't work as an actual pronoun in any proper sentence. Thus, characters who speak in complete sentences would need to use "that ************."nyysjan said:On the third panel the guy says "I need that ************ to sign some insurance papers."
Why is he using a pronoun there?
The sentence structure does not work.
Just try replacing it with any other pronoun, it just sounds silly.
"Sail", actually. I'm clearly not on top of my game.Halyah said:*She and not they.lacktheknack said:Nah, it's OK.

Yeah, second that.MarsAtlas said:Just so you know, making jokes at the expense of groups that are generally treated negatively is kind of a dick move. The way I personally see comedy, is that its not about targeting all people, but more people that are more deserving of it. Thats how I see it, anyways.The Wooster said:We like to think we punch in every direction. Like a starfish.

I for one believe in equal treatment for all humans, including comedic treatment. I'm sorry you feel differently.MarsAtlas said:Just so you know, making jokes at the expense of groups that are generally treated negatively is kind of a dick move.

Well that all depends on whether those people are funny or not doesn't it? Hint; 'respect my pronouns' Tumblrites are.MarsAtlas said:Just so you know, making jokes at the expense of groups that are generally treated negatively is kind of a dick move.
