yeah, people are so ignorant. how do people think joking about this bullshit is okay.
It's so bigoted against dead people. Op probably doesn't even hire them.
Has it occurred to you that pressing the downvote button is just much easier that having to bother explaining something that should be obvious?
If it is not obvious to you that it's not incel shit, maybe even after an explanation you won't agree still because you have different views (which I'm not saying are not respectable, but are still different, so an agreement can't be reached), so whoever replies to you would have wasted their time.
So of course people downvote without replying.
it might be easier to downvote, but its not easier for you to write 2 paragraphs and still not explain it.
the joke is about rape.
thats 5 words.

People are smarter than you give them credit for.
Two people go on a date. The date is going well, there is chemistry between the two people. One says "if you beat me at any game we can have sex". The two people will typically play a board or card game, and will flirt with the opportunity of sex during the game play, which is gonna be fun and exciting. Seems a good plot idea for your average romantic comedy movie or teenager's series.
Now the joke is that the choice of game is stupid because you end up killing your date. Just with that you could make a meme/joke. Now the post is doubling down on the stupidity, insanity, etc., by making it morbid and showing that the guy still had sex with the corpse.
Here it is. My take on the issue, which is unlikely to be the only possible explanation which is not "incel shit". I've wasted 10 minutes of my time, and you'll likely will still not agree with me, and will prove valid my first comment.
Cheers.
Your point is that he sounds like an asshole? Because you badgered him for an explanation to a joke you obviously understood and he didn't give it to you nice enough?
Preemptively deciding you won't agree doesn't make him right. He preemptively decided you wouldn't be happy with his answer .. and he was correct.
By the way, I thought it was funny. I sent it to my wife and she thought it was funny and sent it to her mom. (No one asked for an explanation).
The core of the joke is that Russian roulette is a terrible game to play if you intend to do anything after it.
That’s not how you play Russian roulette, btw
Well, sure, the other half of the joke is that the speaker is a literal psychopath, thus the Patrick Bateman. You don’t start reading a meme expecting it to be psychopathic.
Also, I’m not sure you could call that the “plan” considering there was a 50% chance the speaker would have been dead at the end of the game.
I’m pretty sure it is. Feel free to explain why it isn’t, and I’ll respond to that,
Where are you getting this from? I have found absolutely no evidence to support this, and lots of evidence to the contrary. By all accounts, you take turns holding the revolver up to your own head of your own free will.
If you think the players take turns shooting at each other, that seems to be a particular variant called Russian poker, and it’s depiction in media is relatively uncommon in my experience.
Yes, I don’t think anyone disagrees with you here. IMO, the rule of thumb is, “Would it be equally funny if the genders were swapped?”, and IMO, the answer is “yes” in this case, because the joke doesn’t rely on sexism.
Except for agreeing to play Russian roulette. Surely both parties were aware of the odds of their demise.
And now we’ve arrived at the cringiest part of the meme. It’s a pretty lame setup that indeed relies on dialogue that would never happen IRL. I guess that’s why it’s a !lemmyshitpost@lemmy.world.
Edit: on second thought, I have officially spent too much time dissecting this mid-tier garbage, and unless you can accept the fact that you misunderstood the premise of Russian roulette, I won’t be continuing this conversation.
I predicted that I would waste my time by replying to you, and I predicted right.
I wanted to give it a chance, though, because Lemmy is a place that is friendly enough and that I want to thrive, despite how little I contribute. I tried to be constructive and explain things the best I could, and assume the best possible faith, etc. When you just say that I sound like an asshole, and completely act in bad faith in how russian roulette is supposed to be in the context of someone who says "you can beat me at any game", now I feel the urge to try the block feature in Lemmy, sorry.
guys this post was nearly three days ago do something productive you have so much more to live for
This isn't worthwhile at all, there are better things to do and more worthwhile things to argue about than a shit post. This doesn't help anybody.
I hope you find happiness and success in your life, but taking path's like these, arguing over something so little for "often decades" with snarky attitudes are the opposite direction towards that.
