Oh, wow. That’s pretty fucked, but also pretty funny. I was gonna fuck off for a little bit before I start doing chores but this caught me off guard and now I don’t want to ruin it with less funny filler. Guess it’s time to do laundry.

Procrastinators hate this one trick…

I think the most shocking this about this image is that it doesn’t have an iFunny watermark on the bottom.

Yeah, this is fucking rank. Even the setup is weirdly objectifying then they gotta make the punchline “haha I killed her and raped her corpse”.

This meme hates women so much.

yeah, people are so ignorant. how do people think joking about this bullshit is okay.

@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

Beau of the Fifth Column has a great way of dealing with this sort of bigoted joke actually, “Huh? I don’t get it. What’s funny about that? What’s the joke?”

And just like… watch them realise they can’t explain it without sounding like a monster.

And to anyone who would say that jokes are like frogs, you can’t dissect them without killing them: you’ve never seen a good comedian break down a joke. It is hilarious, it’s all in the telling. If you need to rely on shock to get your laughs then you’re not actually funny. You fell into the shock-jock trap of “oh that got a reaction; that must be funny”, not realising that people also laugh when they’re uncomfortable, and all you’re doing is being an asshole.

No, that’s not the joke. What’s the joke, can you explain it please?

Edit: anyone downvoting this without explaining the joke isn’t actually edgy; you’re just cowards

suy ,

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.

Excrubulent ,
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

That’s one way to say you have no confidence in your ability to explain anything.

It’s not that deep: what’s the joke? Can you explain it without sounding like an asshole? Sounds like you just admitted you can’t.

I’m asking a question politely, but to be sealioning I’d have to be disingenuous about it. This is a serious question. Explain the joke, please.

If you have a genuine answer I’m willing to hear it, but so far nobody has even tried.

suy ,

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.

@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

So literally, “haha he killed her and raped the corpse” except you added a bunch of condescending overexplaining to it.

Like… you realise you sound like an asshole, right? That’s my point.

Also preemptively deciding that me disagreeing with you automatically makes you right because you predicted your explanation wouldn’t satisfy me is just A-tier bullshit.

jas0n ,

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).

Excrubulent ,
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

I never said this joke wasn’t funny, I said it hates women. It made me laugh for a second, but then in the following two seconds I said, “oh, ew”. Hating women is just so normalised in our society that it gets a pass under the banner of “edgy humour”.

And the reason I wasn’t swayed by the explanation is because it was essentially the same as mine. None of it is new information. You admitted my explanation is correct when you acknowledged that I clearly understood the joke.

So yeah, like I suspected, I’m not missing something here that makes this joke less misogynistic. Noone is telling me my characterisation of “haha he killed her and raped the corpse” is wrong, because it obviously isn’t.

QuaternionsRock ,

The core of the joke is that Russian roulette is a terrible game to play if you intend to do anything after it.

he killed her

That’s not how you play Russian roulette, btw

Excrubulent ,
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

Not if you plan to rape the corpse, which this person apparently did. Sorry, that’s not an explanation, that’s a new joke. It was pretty good, by the way, but it’s not what I’m asking for.

And the way you “play” russian roulette is as a torture method with a prisoner. That’s where it comes from, and there is no established way to “play” unless you’re about to tell me you’re reading from the official rulebook of the International Russian Roulette Association. If you’re going to try to ground this thing in reality that doesn’t work because it was never grounded in reality.

Also, I’m not even saying this joke isn’t funny. It made me chuckle for a second, but if you think about it for like three seconds it treats the woman as a prop on so many levels. The woman in this story has no agency whatsoever, even when she’s offering sex in the setup it’s just a weird incel fantasy that would never happen.

QuaternionsRock ,

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.

Sorry, that’s not an explanation, that’s a new joke.

I’m pretty sure it is. Feel free to explain why it isn’t, and I’ll respond to that,

And the way you “play” russian roulette is as a torture method with a prisoner. That’s where it comes from, and there is no established way to “play”

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.

it treats the woman as a prop on so many levels

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.

The woman in this story has no agency whatsoever

Except for agreeing to play Russian roulette. Surely both parties were aware of the odds of their demise.

even when she’s offering sex in the setup it’s just a weird incel fantasy that would never happen.

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.

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.

This is a good rule of thumb, and I think where the joke actually lies. See, it relies on the viewer’s familiarity with the Patrick Bateman image, where it’s suddenly recontextualised as an image of a man having sex with a corpse. That works because the popular image only focusses on the man and the woman is so depersonalised that there is nothing to indicate whether she’s even alive.

The question about whether it would work with the genders swapped depends on whether an equally popular image-of-a-woman-sexually-dominating-a-man-who-is-so-devoid-of-personhood-that-he-could-be-dead exists, and the answer is no, of course not. The man sexually dominating a woman who lacks agency is pervasive throughout our culture because our culture is deeply patriarchal. That’s why this image is so common.

That cultural backdrop is the point here. That’s why this joke can so easily be misongynistic without triggering people’s disgust, because it’s not so different from the baseline level of misogyny that we experience every day. If you had to explain this to someone without that background, you would sound like a monster if you were trying to sell it as funny.

As for the origins of the game, there’s debate as to where it comes from, mostly from fictional accounts or from stories of mock executions. But yes, the popular imagination comes from Deer Hunter, where you do in fact point it at your own head. There’s nothing to indicate the woman agreed to play, however, since her consent isn’t part of the equation once she’s dead. That was my actual point when I brought up the fact that there’s no rulebook for the game.

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.

Excrubulent ,
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

Your explanation didn’t significantly differ from mine, so it seems to me like I was right that you can’t explain this joke in a way that removes the misogyny inherent in it. That’s the point here. I made it clear that was the point, and I suspect you knew it was right. That would be another explanation for why you could predict that your explanation wouldn’t change my mind.

I’ve explained how I disagree and given specifics, and you’ve chosen to ignore them. That certainly is a waste of your time because when you do that, there’s nothing to learn. Only you can decide if you’re going to attempt to learn something with an exchange or waste it, that’s not my fault.

For myself I have learned some things here. I’ve refined the way I explain this point for one thing. If you want to understand that you could read my replies or ask me, or you could just block me and leave this interaction as a waste of your time. It really is up to you.

These threads are often around for decades; a few days is nothing. I’m not here because I can’t let this go; like I said, I’m still having this conversation because I feel like it’s helping me clarify my own position. If you don’t think it’s worthwhile nobody is making you watch.

helpmyusernamewontfi ,

If you don’t think it’s worthwhile nobody is making you watch.

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.

Excrubulent , (edited )
@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

I’m not saying I’m going to discuss it for decades, obviously. Maybe your lack of reading comprehension is why you don’t think discussions have value, because you can’t actually gather meaning from them.

Anyway, I assume since you’re so above this discussion you’ll be taking your own advice and leaving now?

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.

Russian roulette doesn’t have winners, only survivors (or not). To claim otherwise is to misunderstand Russia. There are no winners in Russia except Putin.

If your win is something that you had anyway before you start playing - that's not a win, that's not losing.
