        Okay, well if you aren’t saying that jokes should conform to reality and if you aren’t complaining that people are finding this funny when you aren’t, maybe you shouldn’t be making any sort of deal about this and stop being such a killjoy.

          So I can’t criticize something, while enjoying it (or some parts of it) but people can’t make the difference between criticism and trying to ban it, and/or they can’t deal with criticism of a media that they enjoy and therefore it kills their joy. Ok.

          As we give each other advices, maybe read what a person is saying instead of what you want them to say, so you can feel like they are forbidden you stuff, to then forbid them stuff. As you can tell, It makes it difficult to engage more deeply with art and that is a killjoy.

          I am sorry that I forced you to read my comment with some many down votes. You couldn’t have known. You couldn’t have avoided it. I am sorry.

            Interesting. You’re complaining about someone criticizing you by suggesting you’re not allowed to be critical. I wonder whether you realize the double-standard or if you’re just okay with it?

            Incidentally, if you read my comment, I used the word “maybe,” meaning I was not telling you what you can and cannot do, which is pretty ironic since you said to me:

              Mhm I somewhat agree. I see your point but it wouldn’t be difficult to show you how it isn’t a double-standard.

              Your usage of “should” suggest an “ought” and given your previous criticism of my behavior, I made the assumption that you would suggest an ought. If I was wrong, I am sorry.

              I never said or did anything that suggested that you can’t find the joke funny. My comment even highlights the reasons why you would find it funny. And I really don’t think anything suggested that it wasn’t based in reality and/or that it has to be.

              And ultimately, you chose to read a comment with (at the time) ±20 down votes, you chose to engage with that “negative” content to complained about that “negative” content. When I wrote my initial comment, I didn’t chose to be bothered by people unable to read what it actually and clearly says. When you engaged with my comment, you chose to have this interaction. You chose to engage in a hostile conversation. And reading something seemingly hostile as hostile, is kinda the point of the joke. So I acted entirety within the framework that the joke that you try to defend, sets up.

                I used neither the word ought or the word negative in any post I made to you. I also didn’t complain about anything. Again, ironic considering you said, “maybe read what a person is saying.”

                  I called it negative because it has 20 down votes. I never said you said that.

                  And I am sorry that you don’t understand what should means.

                    I understand what should means. I also understand what maybe means when put with that word as part of a phrase. It does not mean ought, nor has it ever. Also, when you put a word in quotation marks and suggest that is what the person is saying, that means that’s what they literally said and you are quoting them. Hence them being called quotation marks. I am sorry you don’t know what quotation marks mean.

                    And I still have no idea what your problem with everyone else enjoying this is. You seem more interested in criticizing me than explaining your killjoy behavior. Which is also killjoy behavior. In a memes community no less.
