    On the internet, you get people pretending to not understand things in every context as if walking around slackjawed and clueless talking about all the things they don’t understand with some kind of aloof and detached attitude makes them better than everyone else. I think this post is talking about sexist jokes though, not that.

      Yes, I was talking about jokes too. “I don’t get it, I feel stupid, explain please?” as a reply to a bigoted joke has only ever earned me very angry and very entertaining insults. Haven’t had opportunity to do this IRL but face to face people are less prone to explode :)

      I certainly wouldn’t know what this could possibly be referring to since I’m on a yacht and have just taken some very powerful amnestics. As far as I know I’ve never been on the internet.

      There are a bunch of people here wearing baby masks. They all have hammers, which is odd because as I said we’re on a very large (expensive) yacht.
