Here's the reference if you either don't get it, or need a replay of this great scene:

Edgy 🤣

Depends on the reason for the quote. Awareness campaigns quote them as examples of what not to do. There is a clear intention to tell the audience "Watch out for this, avoid it, this is wrong."

The punchline in this example is an encouragement to harass people because it's funny.

science gets closer to the truth over time

Now we step into epistemology. This claim cannot be substantiated. We don't know if science is getting closer to the truth because we don't know what the truth is.

Science finds what works, it may or may not be finding the truth. It's incredibly useful, and gets more useful over time, but we cannot claim that it gives us the truth. We cannot measure the "truthiness" of a science claim.

Unless you assume "If something works, then it's the truth.". I wouldn't support this statement though.

Also science way back: "Hey guys, isn't phlogiston just the absolute best? And lobotomies are so cool they deserve a Nobel prize."

Then it breaks Rule 5:

No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.

Mate, I'm lighter than a kite. Any apparent anger in my posts is due to your projection.

You need to chill, man.

I'm not happy with any of the depicted harassment in the image (fake or not), it just not that funny. If you want to see what happens if you have a descenting opinion though, you can see my massively downvoted post below.

Because it breaks Rule 1

Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

Just to be clear, I'm not even upset. I work in STEM so seeing this all unfold has only further confirmed and given me more evidence that I was correct in my original assessment of the joke. I'm writing this stuff out in the hopes that others read it and see what is going on.

I'm all good with dark humor. But the punchline is not "sexual harassment is bad", it's "Sexual harassment is okay, and it is funny to harass people."

That's why, even though it's fake, the punchline is still "look at this scenario, isn't doing sexual harassment hilarious? You (the audience) should also do sexual harassment to other people because it's funny, and people will laugh with you."

And it's worked, there is actual sexual harassment in this thread, people have been encouraged to do it because they saw me as an easy target ("stable boy"). They saw that I wasn't for the joke, so they inserted me as the victim in the original joke. Further, people are upvoting open sexual harassment towards me.

That's why I don't really want to be a part of this community, and why I don't even want to see stuff from this community. If this is what passes as acceptable humor here (the original joke, and then continued poking fun at users), then I don't want to be a part of it.

We can agree to disagree. Again, not upset, just disappointed.

It's okay, you can just do a re-watch. It's not like it's been deleted by the Elders of the Internet.

Thanks for the info, Wikipedia just needs an update.

Since the map had already passed the state Senate on Tuesday, it is now law. (In North Carolina, the governor has no veto power over redistricting.)

I'm not from the US so I didn't understand the importance of these comments. To clarify for others, North Carolina's Senate is currently Republican majority, and the incumbent governor is Democratic (Roy Cooper). My source is still Wikipedia.

The map is an amended version of Proposal CCJ-1, the less aggressively gerrymandered of the two proposals unveiled by Republicans last week.

If you're morbidly curious in seeing the other map proposed, it was CBP-5:

Look at proposed district 3 😂, it's another district that was going to be shaped like a bow-tie.

I'm getting different vibes from Wikipedia:

Now we have actual written sexual harassment documented in this thread. 🤡

Rules 1 and 5 are being openly broken. Thanks for showing me the dregs of this community.

I didn't say this is Lemmy's shitstain, I said I thought this is Lemmy Shitpost and still think it is, and that this is not Lemmy's shitstain.

But new shit has come to light, and I'm reconsidering.

Still not saying that this place is a shitstain yet. It could be, but I haven't confirmed it yet. If you want me to confirm it, then add another insult to injury and click downvote to this post.

Rule 1, bro.

So your agreeing with me that there was sexual harassment, and then there was more sexual harassment?

Thank you for proving my point even further.

Edit: It's even worse!

That means this content breaks Rule 1 as well

Refrain from using harmful language pertaining to a protected characteristic: e.g. race, gender, sexuality, disability or religion.

Nothing happens ever.

Wait, is the punch line just "sexual harassment is funny"? I must be missing something. The guy said he didn't like the attention and green straight up continues with " ... said the stable boy." rather than apologising, or dropping it.

This is straight up verbal sexual harassment. 🤔Why is this being upvoted? 🥴 Even if it's fake, the joke is still "Isn't it funny that the guy said stop, but he didn't stop?! lol."

It breaks Rule 5:

No content that harasses members within or outside of the community.

Edit: To the downvoters: 🤣

Edit 2 Electric Boogaloo: 😗

I'll be monitoring further responses and then blocking this community. Thanks for helping me filter out toxic communities on Lemmy.

I thought this was Lemmy Shitpost, not Lemmy's shitstain. 💩

Edit 3: I love that I call out sexual harassment and I'm met with sexual harassment by users in this community. Hmmm, it's almost like this type of content encourages certain behaviours. Ain't that interesting?

So long and thanks for all the fish ☮

No way would they ever reelect

They’re not that stupid

I'm getting these vibes from this comment.

Which terrifies me.

We should all cut ties, don’t want to be dragged down with the ship

Cutting ties with the most powerful country in the world? Not going to happen.
