    Wait, is the punch line just “sexual harassment is funny”? I must be missing something. The guy said he didn’t like the attention and green straight up continues with " … said the stable boy." rather than apologising, or dropping it.

    This is straight up verbal sexual harassment. 🤔Why is this being upvoted? 🥴 Even if it’s fake, the joke is still “Isn’t it funny that the guy said stop, but he didn’t stop?! lol.”

    It breaks Rule 5:

    No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.

    Edit: To the downvoters: 🤣

    Edit 2 Electric Boogaloo: 😗

    I’ll be monitoring further responses and then blocking this community. Thanks for helping me filter out toxic communities on Lemmy.

    I thought this was Lemmy Shitpost, not Lemmy’s shitstain. 💩

    Edit 3: I love that I call out sexual harassment and I’m met with sexual harassment by users in this community. Hmmm, it’s almost like this type of content encourages certain behaviours. Ain’t that interesting?

    So long and thanks for all the fish ☮

        Now we have actual written sexual harassment documented in this thread. 🤡

        Rules 1 and 5 are being openly broken. Thanks for showing me the dregs of this community.

            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.

              I work in STEM

              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)

            Mate, I’m lighter than a kite. Any apparent anger in my posts is due to your projection.

            You need to chill, man.

      Lemmy’s shitstain? I feel like you are harassing this community and breaking rule 5. Please throw out your computer, thank you.

        I didn’t say this is Lemmy’s shitstain, I said I thought this is Lemmy Shitpost and still think it is, and that this is not Lemmy’s shitstain.

        But new shit has come to light, and I’m reconsidering.

        Still not saying that this place is a shitstain yet. It could be, but I haven’t confirmed it yet. If you want me to confirm it, then add another insult to injury and click downvote to this post.

      This is fake (like all of these conversation screenshot posts, welcome to the internet, where have you been) and what makes it funny is the fact that it’s fake. If a man posted it as “I’ve got harassed by X and this is my story” the majority would react similarly to you (some ppl would still be haha funny as we can see from actual sh/sa posts and those people can go fuck themselves). But it isn’t, we all know it’s fake, we all laugh about the absurdity of it and that’s it.

        So a fake sexual assault story that can be viewed as funny is OK now? Thanks for the heads up.

        So your agreeing with me that there was sexual harassment, and then there was more sexual harassment?

        Thank you for proving my point even further.

        Edit: It’s even worse!

        That means this content breaks Rule 1 as well

        Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

        Technically they are right; it does violate the rules of the sub and assuming it wasn’t staged or made up, that is a pretty douchey thing to do to somebody. I can see why they’d be offended.

        It’s still absolutely hysterical of course, but they do have a point.

        “…said the stable boy” is a bit funny but it just draws back to the joke that an RPer ia forcing someone to join their ERP. … Said the stable boy.

      It doesn’t feel like sexual harassment to them because it’s directed towards a straight male. Change the words to “stable girl” and everyone would call it creepy instead of funny (as they should, because it is). Don’t try to reason with these people, it will just needlessly make you angry.

      I think i recognize some context you’re missing.

      I feel like this is in response to an unsolicited ERP request from the left chatter, making it essentially proportionate.

      Now I can’t be certain but that is a common thing I’ve seen people do so it feels likely.
