baewulf16557yThe wealth of funny content on the internet is overwhelming, why would you even bother with sexism? How can you possibly be so humourless?
-
baewulf16557yI mean both you specifically, this is a shitty “joke”, but I also mean in general, this community is overrun with lazyass sexist “humour”
-
baewulf16557y@jschmold when men are constantly sexually harassed and otherwise humiliated and shat on on an otherwise friendly community like this one, I’ll be more inclined to take your comment seriously
-
baewulf16557y@jschmold lol that’s the entire point tho why would you roll your eyes and ignore it , why wouldn’t you speak up if you were actually “one of the good ones”? That’s so shitty dude come on. If you care, act like it, otherwise don’t just use your supposed decency for rhetorical score points
-
baewulf16557y@jschmold just today I’ve seen 3 instances of either sexual harassment or plain old misogyny, and haven’t seen one person say anything about it. Lots of support, but no one saying “that’s not cool”. Why bother complaining about what I’m saying when there is a fuckin entire pool of actually harmful content right here under your nose?
-
baewulf16557y@jschmold then take your own advice and quit your whining about me taking about misogyny

@baeovvulf
Can you two please stop that? This thing is is called humor. Some find it funny, some don't. -
fuckwit12167y@Alice I don't have a problem with that. Though the community might if it doesn't relate to dev things or similar
-
gsn169477yno sexist jokes? ok.
on behalf of all the animals in the world, I request you all not to do any more fables.
on behalf of all the emotions, I request you all not to use only humour for a joke.
I'm probably not making my point clear here but I hope you get it. -
@baeovvulf hey I agree with you completely on your points about social issues but I don't think this comment is a manifestation of that. Calling him mysoginist is the most uncharitable interpretation of what he said but also kind of a trap that's really hard to argue against without seemingly worsening your stance.
It's really just a bad joke and I think we should leave it at that.
I really hate to see stupid posts like this discourage women from this community and you have my ++ :) -
gsn169477ytwo things here.
1. I'm not anti-feminist or misogynist or anything, please don't take me wrong here. if I find a joke on a man, I'd share that too. if I find a joke on cat, or a dog, or a table, or a chair, or a tree, or even on myself, I'd share that too. I'm either a little broad minded or too ignorant, you can call me anything.
2. you like it you ++ it. you don't like it you -- it. i totally understand that. having more ++ is good. but I don't mind it much cuz honestly, to me, what matters more is the content actually reaching a lot of people.
@Dummybugger @Alice @FrodoSwaggins @baeovvulf -
@heyheni i don't disagree with you but since you've made the comment, i have to ask. have you never seen sexist comments from anyone but Indians?
-
Machine code is just time-consumingly difficult to read... it has nothing to do with the gender of the people that made it... how's this funny?
-
It's just my opinion that no matter how bad a topic sounds, anyone should be able to joke about absolutely anything.
Posting a sexist joke is annoying and irritating and I don't find this joke funny in the least. It's boring and generalizing.
But that doesn't mean OP should be unable to post it. It's a slippery slope. There shouldn't be a condition where people can only post what the majority approves -
ClySuva19117yShitty joke. Specially considering assembly is one of the easiest languages in the world if you just bother to learn it.

Grexius14647yATTENTION ALL COMMENTERS!
If you comment on a rant, you are influencing that rant in ways that benefit it in the sense that it will pop up in more people's rant feed through the algo.
This means that if you comment, no matter what you're actually trying to say, you are still giving the rant MORE EXPOSURE.
The only way to affect a rant's exposure negatively is to give it a downvote, that's it. -
ng190528487yAfter this unnecessary conversation about sexism... Can we please implement a functionality to block people ? Thx π
-
GMR51635177y@baeovvulf Kinda funny you just generalized all men by saying “why do men have no sense of humor”.
-
baewulf16557y@GMR516 kinda funny how you think that’s the same thing as institutional misogyny especially in an environment where women are constantly and consistently harangued in every social and professional situation but whatever π
-
GMR51635177y@baeovvulf You think devRant is an environment where woman are consistently and constantly “harangued”? ‘Cause that’s where you made your comment. Chill out, no one comes here to be attacked by you.
Assembly language may be
joke/meme
