Just check their comment history for like 30 seconds. Everyone makes a joke that misses the mark every now and then, but the shittiest people usually constantly spew their nonsense.

I don’t find it creepy to read a person’s posts that were willingly submitted to a public forum.

If you just browse through your home feed, sure. But actively going out of your way to see someone’s comment or post history because you don’t agree with what they said is childish and frankly a bit concerning. It really shows your character.

Most of your comments have negative points. I wouldn’t value anything you have to say.

That’s why they are against reading other users’ post history.

Definitely do. Sometimes it’s the only way to know whether someone just had one bad take, or if they’re genuinely awful and not worth your time to reply to

This is an excellent way to get everyone looking at your comment/post history. You played yourself.

Define punching down.

Is it economic power? 400e minimum wage here

Is it history? 400 years of Asian/African colonialism

Privilege? Amazon, any official manufacturer site and PayPal don’t work here. We just got Google Pay and Apple Pay.

Slavery? The word slave originates from the word Slav and we had nothing to do with colonialism.

I’m a white European and I am way less privileged than any US minority, technically we Slavs are also POC in the US.

So I technically can’t punch down on Americans. These kinds of things are dumb since you can’t know someone’s ethnicity, race, sex, country, etc. online.

Black trans women in the United States are routinely assaulted and raped and have an HIV+ rate of 60%. You sure about that?

My point is that targeting vulnerable groups for humor isn’t funny, it’s just bullying and it’s sad. It shouldn’t be a controversial point.

The shit posters drive a wedge in a community and the people who don’t like the “innocent” jokes leave. This makes fertile ground for ideological take over. Rinse and repeat in Fandoms, subreddits, message boards, etc.

Alternatively, the people who are so brittle that shit-posting causes them to somehow turn on half of the community were always going to volatile puritans.

I agree. But the discussion was shit-posting, not racist jokes, or am I missing something?

Except it’s not so black and white. Crude jokes can be funny and unfunny. Shit-posting is one thing but offensive jokes just often repeat themselves and I can understand wanting something new every now and then.
