This is why I only spread hatred towards people I actually hate, like the British.

The only thing I can't stand is people who are intolerant of other people's cultures... And the Dutch!
We FACKIN love it mate
But the British aren't people...
I prefer not offending anyone so I usually spread hatred towards people who don't actually exist, like the chilean.

its just a prank bro
It's interesting how people try to redefine the word joke. If there's nothing funny about it, it's not a joke. So maybe they mean that they were trolling just for fun, which is not the same thing.
The second point is that if they say something horrible and then you call them an asshole and then they complain that you've gotten too sensitive, which is a very common chain of events, it actually shows that they've gotten too sensitive. If you're not supposed to care about what they said, why should they care about what you said? ... But of course actually they don't care about what you said, and they're just grandstanding. But even if we accept their internal logic just for the sake of argument, it still makes them giant assholes.
If I say some fucked up shit as a joke, it's only because I failed to see how it was fucked up. Or I'm being sarcastic/facetious. If the former, and it's brought to my attention, I'll apologize and not repeat it. If the latter... 🤷🏻♂️
However, I once repeated a joke told to me by my transfem sister that she learned in her trans support group and was called a transphobe on Reddit. Sometimes shit doesn't matter, they just wanna be angry.
Lots of jokes can be understood in different ways. On the internet nobody can tell if you are sincere, while a trans person at a trans support group definitely is. If I repeat an alt right talking point to my buddy, he knows I'm being sarcastic and I'm making fun of them. But you can't tell if I'm alt right or not. Kinda sad you actually have to explain this.
what was the joke lmao
It's just a dog whistle and you know exactly the kind of people who do this and what party they vote for
Oh I'm sooooo sorrry if my abject cruelty offended your sensibilities and desire to be treated as a human being.
I recently watched a short film, Place des fêtes (spoilers)
Place des fêtes spoiler
The scene in the end, a group of friends One guy steals a sad guy's guitar,
Another guy tells him "He's just kidding" as he's making chase
A third guy stabs him in the belly
Jokes can hurt. Sometimes the joke is malicious. Sometimes the joke hurts a lot -
he
he had to get an ambulance
I can't figure out how to mark a spoiler, the spoiler button on the jerboa app doesn't work out
Wait, did you do that or is this just a joke? This gets meta pretty soon
