sigh I’m not happy I’m doing this either; maybe it’s the stress

I know the trope that this is playing on. I’m in collections myself for a lot of money for a partial heart attack scare (monitor your potassium levels!). It just feels icky to me since sexual assault of hospital patients absolutely does happen.

I guess for me it’s one thing to portray a doctor with a cheese grater (or the tens of other absurd variations on this meme) compared to an honestly more plausible sexual assault.

Then the double whammy of states just not helping women who want to carry to term but can’t.

All to say I see what the meme was aiming for, but I don’t love being raped as a punchline.

This instances meme sub's seem to have been devlolving into r/im14andthisisfunny for a minute now.

Its a shame lemmy's gotten big enough for the big meme sub's to be insufferable before it got big enough for the smaller ones to flourish.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I think this is how the smaller ones flourish - people look for alternatives.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 -4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's a fuckin shitposting community what the fuck do you people expect?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Funnier shitposts.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean it's the same vein as

Gets a tattoo

Card declines

Tattoo artist pulls out a cheese grater

The only reason people think this is unfunny is because of the rape aspect which, while I understand most people see as not cool, doesn't instantly mean it's not funny.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago (1 children)

That's kind if my point. They tool an already existing joke and just made it less funny.

[–] ThatWeirdGuy1001 3 points 2 months ago

That's like...all memes? Someone makes a joke and the internet repeats it ad nauseum.

I mean look at lemmy and the beans or jeans or beams. An already dumb joke recycled endlessly.

[–] LesserAbe 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, seems mean spirited.

[–] ivanafterall 36 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He's unzipping the pocket that contains his wallet, so that he can cover her expenses. Sheesh, you guys really assume the worst.

[–] _Sprite 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

good ending

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

Happy, even.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Is this a rape joke?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It absolutely is, yes.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 months ago

It's actually the insurance company's job to fuck you

[–] 2ugly2live 15 points 2 months ago

I went into this comment section expecting to be disappointed. Color me impressed.

This could have been a joke about him putting it back in. Like, "Hey, don't toss that yet" or something. Not sure why rape would be a funny punchline.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Geez people, calm the fuck down. It's just a spicy meme. Take a deep breath and listen to some music or something. It's a shitpost community for crying out loud. I rather see this than the Boomer wife bad memes that have flooded the meme communities in recent weeks.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Excusing it with "it's a shitpost community" has some real "boys will be boys" energy to it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 months ago

While I understand and agree with your point, and I don't particularly appreciate the subject matter, I'm also not a little bitch and am okay with seeing a controversial meme every now and then. Of course if the community gets flooded with similar memes, it'll be a different conversation. But a one off spicy meme isn't going to upset me. It's LEMMY SHITPOST after all. Ya'll need to save your energy for more important matters.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Agreed. Apparently on 2024 shitposting is just an excuse to be repugnant.

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 months ago (3 children)

This just in, boys not allowed to be boys, even in a shitpostint sub.

Fucking hell Lemmy sometimes feels so goddman uptight about everything.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I mean, the punchline is literally just implied rape, so...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes jokes are a bit dark. Dark jokes even

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What's the humor, honestly? That the woman gets raped? That's what's funny to you?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

The absurdism of the situation. You don't typically reverse abortion if someone's card is declined.

Do you really not get what's supposed to be the joke or do you not find it funny? Because those are two very different things.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If being a boy involves rape jokes then yes, society in general has decided that being a boy is shitty.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Society in general isn't against dark jokes. But sometimes people are too uptight for them, it's true. Why they can't just be "I didn't enjoy that but it's okay", who knows.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Why they can’t just be “I didn’t enjoy that but it’s okay”, who knows.

Obviously, it's because anyone who finds a rape joke funny is a bit creepy and rapey.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Jesus Christ. Next thing, someone enjoys shooting other people in games, they probably want to kill in real life lmao.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

People use the phrase "boys will be boys" to normalize extremely toxic and abusive behaviour, if such behaviour is what you mean by no one being allowed to be boys, then damn right.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

Sometimes it's just about having a laugh like with the meme here

[–] Philharmonic3 13 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Rape joke and a repost. Fuck off

[–] ivanafterall 16 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Wait, it's a REPOST!? FUCK YOU, OP!!!

[–] [email protected] -5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I guess I postest it a few days ago and it got deleted. Still it’s a serious topic and I had a good lough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

This meme was probably reposted many times before op. Also, calm down, it's just a shitpost it's not like the author would come to screw you

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 months ago

This seems in pretty bad taste considering how frequently news comes out about women being raped while under healthcare.

[–] adj16 7 points 2 months ago

Nah, delete this

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Fortunately, she was just making a fourth-wall-breaking point about gender assumptions in certain professions.

[–] GrammarPolice 1 points 2 months ago

10/10 joke. Anybody getting offended needs to go outside

[–] [email protected] -3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

OMG rape jokes are sooooo funny
