What episode of the Twilight Zone is this?
I’m usually not in either camp, but sometimes you see a post and you just know the type of people it will attract regardless of OPs intentions.
Funny how most people want their opinions to be respected while not respecting anyone else’s.
Meh.
It de-legitimizes actual debate about issues with racism, homophobia, sexism, etc
When you just lump in everything that is legitimate debate along with batshit crazy stuff, then its far easier to just to dismiss it all and keep acting like a racist, homophobic, sexist ignorant jerk.
If you can’t tell what is offensive and what isn’t … it’s not a problem with the comic, it might have something more to do with you.
If you can’t tell what is offensive and what isn’t
That’s subjective though
this doesn’t say anything
It is about arguing culture.
Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this…
Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can’t find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.
Edit: found it
Season 20 finale, 2010, featuring Elon musk…

It’s a way in which one person can create a massive reaction on the Internet. Look, person A trolls person B, but it’s not about person B, the troll is trying to push buttons to try and get a reaction from hundreds, eventually creating person C, whose overreaction and self righteousness will elicit a reaction from persons D through F, who weren’t trolls but can’t help rip on person C.
No it’s not!
Oh yeah? Where is your proof?
That’s not an argument, it’s just contradiction
We’ve been over this already.
No it isn’t
If that’s from monty python then you are right. Marvelous piece.
- No it isn’t.
- No I’m not.
- No it isn’t.
(yes to all three, actually)
I see what you did there
what about it?
This curiously says a lot about our current social sphere.
like what
Like it’s all just a ego contest and in the end it doesn’t really matter who’s right and who’s wrong, in the end all that matters is that one or the other will get enough social pressure to make the other one shut up.
In this day and age, people argue over everything from the most basic stuff all the way to the most ridiculous stuff
is that in the comic though or are you projecting your existing opinion on the vague topic of online arguments? does the comic say all arguments are bad? I is discussing the offensiveness of a joke bad? is it bad when to many people argue at once?
doesn’t seem like there’s much of anything deeper than “what’s the deal with airline food?” type material that expects the audience to make the statement in their mind than actually saying anything itself.
It’s in the comic, when viewed from a particular context. All meaning is relative to the context in which it is created, and in which it is perceived.
For what it’s worth, I interpreted the comment similarly to the person you’re replying to.
I was in the gym two days ago. It was leg day. My butt actually hurts :(
There seems to be this new trend of accounts being created to post this low quality rage bate and other boomer humour at best in this community. This is either a bot, or a really bored loser, either way, the pattern is very obvious (new account that posts 3 comics in a row here and nothing else), and easy to spot and block.
I know this will have little impact, but do yourselves a favour - don’t feed the troll.
*bait
Maybe for you. Don’t kink shame them they can bate to posts all they like!
It is a fair point
really bored loser
That’s offensive
How is that offensive?
You need to educate yourself on why this is offensive!
My butt hurts!
It obviously hit home with the bored loser, since they picked it for one of their latest account names lmmfao
(seriously though, the mods of this community need to get a grip on this spam)
If they post 3 posts in a row and nothing else, why bother blocking? By the time you see it, it’s already over.
Cause this is lemmy and finding new communities and people to block is the main event!
Progressives pulling the boy who cried wolf routine on bigotry muddy the waters of the topic, which they don’t care about, because it’s just a means to grab a little social power to them.
Their mistake was engaging the offended idiot.
Indeed, if someone gets a little butthurt due to a simple joke, it ain’t your fault they shoved it up their own asses.
This is the key. When reading something you don’t like in the internet, one should not then proceed to shoving that thing up one’s own ass. …unless you’re into that, I guess.
My butt does hurt.
“Seek offence and you shall find it”
Naaah fam, if you get hurt it’s your choice to hurt back.
Do as you will shall be the whole of the law. But it’s a lot easier to defend reasonable positions, and to let others hold their unreasonable ones.
Offense is taken, not given.
This
I mean, what was the post? Some things that are posted are offensive whether or not you intended that and it’s not unreasonable for someone to comment on that.
If it’s happening to someone so often they need to physically move to a different platform, maybe they should pay more attention to what their saying and the audience you say it to.
Like if I’m with friends and someone makes a dead baby joke, I’d probably laugh, if someone recently had a miscarriage the reaction to that joke will be very different.
I wouldn’t expect a lot of 4chan jokes to fly in normal society and if you can’t engage with normal society without making 4chan appropriate jokes, maybe you need to work on your conversational skills.
Blah…
Blah.

Pundit from the film Starship Troopers used as a patsy to forward state propaganda.
It looks like Elijah Wood’s brother who was kept locked in the attic all these years.
Man, this reminds me so much of a recent submission I made. The amount of BS text certain “users” can write and the extents they will go through to it for something relatively harmless is wild, specially when they are the sort to make wild unproven accusations.
