I came to the comments expecting Seinfeld references and am only just now learning it was a real thing.

As do most people. Deceptichum is just unable to grasp a concept like time. Or that not everyone who lived in that era even knows it’s a real thing.

And a lot of us who were around in the 90s also used “gay” as a casual pejorative without really understanding it. It wasn’t right then and it’s not right now and most of us grew up and realized that.

The key is thinking, “dang, that’s messed up actually” and changing. Not “it’s just a joke, geez people are so sensitive.”

You joked about how half of US states outside of the cities aren’t worth visiting. You joked about how everyone in Florida is crazy. Is that not messed up, generalizing whole groups of people like that? Or are the jokes about people you disagree with ok?

Using Gay as a negative is bad… because it impacts a whole group of people. We aren’t directly making fun of the kid specifically, but joking about the situation. Making a joke about the kid, wrong. Obviously. Joking about a dingo eating a baby? Funny. Because it’s not about a person or who they were, but about a shitty situation.

Get off your high horse. Take a joke.

Yeah, not everyone knows the dead baby was real. It’s a good thing Deceptichum is letting everyone know about the dead baby and solving the problem you just identified. I’m grateful to Deceptichum.
