I was reading or watching some news story once and it was about these two blokes getting arrested for fucking farm animals. And it started a train of thought. How do two strangers meet who are into fucking farm animals? It isn’t like it is socially acceptable. Its probably not on their dating profile. I get that if you are part of a comparatively common group experiencing social repression you learn ways to communicate. Even pedos. But animal fuckers? Are they that common?
Now call me autistic if you like but suddenly I realized some of the edgy race jokes I had laughed at when I was younger and dumber might have been actual racists looking to connect with other racists. The sexist and homophobic jokes might have been actual bigots. And the guys joking about fucking animals. Well most of those are just jokes because obviously nobody does that. But perhaps some of them are looking for a special friend because how else does that convo even get started without the plausible deniability of “a joke”.
So now when I see a fascist dog fucker “joking” about their not meant to be serious fascist memes and symbols the illusion is broken for me. And when I see Presidents joking about being Kings or invading neighbors, it isn’t my type of humor any more I guess.
They’re well evolved to survive in social groups. Even if they suspect someone is recruiting for something terrible, the loss of social status and allies isn’t worth confronting the recruiter. Even visibly suspecting it will harm social status. This is a feature, not a bug.
Historically, the kid who called out the emperor’s new clothes was executed. Every time you started shit in your tribe, you risked being shunned, which meant death. If the whole tribe was crazy, you were better off being crazy too.
Who jokes about these things? Plausible deniability my ass. I ever hear someone joke about fucking animals I’m gonna slowly, no actually, rapidly back away
Exactly. Have you ever heard an elected president joke about being King or invading their peaceful neighbor? Ever? Anyone? Animal fuckers. Its the only thing that makes sense.
Pretty sure it was just really dumb, low IQ dudes, the no one else really liked, who got along and one decided to share or got caught fucking an animal, and since they newcomer was also a virgin, this didn’t bother him as much as we would hope wh n he took his turn.
Yeah, but if those low IQ dudes wanted to overthrow democracy and they wanted to tell other low IQ dudes about it they could just shout it out real loud. The media will ignore it. Law enforcement will do nothing. The courts will do nothing. The public will do nothing.
How people have reacted doesnt make sense to me. Like the only reason people would “joke” about such shit is because they are really fucking serious about it. Its a declaration of intent being broadcast to like minded people.
When the president of the US “jokes” about being a king my reading is a constitutional crisis is more of a when than an if.

When someone tells you who they are, believe them.
I’m an ADHD person and I had this exact same realization when I was younger.
I think maybe this isn’t something neurotypicals ever figure out? Because they seem to be accepting of those “jokes” and it blows my mind.

At work we say “there’s many ways to fuck a cat” implying you can do something different ways.
We also say “it’s not my dog to fuck” when it’s not your job
Or “I’m fucking the dog” or “they’re fucking the dog” when someone is taking a stupid amount of time to do things.
Blink 182 - Fuck a Dog
Well it sounds like these are idioms, not jokes.
Congrats you work with a bunch of dog fuckers
Best thing I read on internet today, thanks
Congrats on writing one of two comments I’ve ever starred.

But dumb people get caught, so now we all know.
