I get an extreme amount of secondhand embarassment reading these comments don't get me wrong but at the end of the day its just some people doing some weird jokes on the internet. Even if the things they say are their actual worldview nearly everyone on the internet lacks the influence in the real world to enforce their worldviews to the masses so what does it matter if they say such stuff on the part of the internet where their kind of people usually hang out. I'd say live and let live in this case. No need to hate your fellow humans just because they hold different opinions than the popular ones or the ones you hold.

Nah, objectification of people is fucking gross. That doesn't change if you say "it's just a joke, bro." And it does matter when enough individually powerless people take up an idea. That's literally how movements start. Like the MRA movement, for example, and now we have Andrew fucking Tate.

But they do not take up the idea, because they do not take it seriously. That is what it means to have a joke, no?
