I was with you, until the last sentence. What the fuck
Have to throw out some outrageous provocative implication. You know. For equality. ๐
Fair enough xD
Hyperbole - noun. Rhetoric.
And still highly problematic to deliver such hateful imagery.
Nope, a controversial joke is either funny enough to overcome its controversial nature or it isnt.
Its not problematic, its just not funny enough.
In the context of the comment you're defending, it isn't clear whether it is a joke.
Also, making such "jokes" in contexts like these, still carry a hateful message. If you don't mean it and don't want to shit on people like that, then simply don't do it. It doesn't get better to defend it as a "joke" as it is not clear what the true intentions are. As such "jokes" can also form opinions / views about some topic, it is reckless not to mind the hazards created by such "jokes". Furthermore, stuff like this is often seen in Motte-and-bailey fallacies.
What's next? Laughing about all the Jews who were gased by Nazis? Or all the vicitims in Ukraine who get fucked in the ass by Russia?
I think, there are some clear lines.
this has big "I was just saying the n-word ironically, so you cant be mad!" energy.
The implication, the way I read it, is not that "all males are dangerous". The implication is that "all women are afraid of strange men".
So the implication is that all women are irrationally fearful, week, and incapable of risk management.
That also sounds like a sexist fallacy.
She never said anything about all males
#NotAllMen /i
What's /I mean ?
/i marks Irony
/s Sarcasm
/j Joke
In the context of my comment it was an ironic reference to the #NotAllMen hashtag wich, as I understood it, was often used by men downplaying the concerns of women and relativising common problems and fears they encounter by saying that not all men are that way. While technically true, it undermined the severity of the issues. As it was the case wih the original commenter here, who meanwhile deleted his comment or got it deleted. Their original comment reminded me of the hashtag.
After a few downvotes I added the irony flag, as I got the impression that my ironic use of the hashtag was not obvious to some readers here.
Cool thanks!
