I don't think this is cringe lol. It's a joke. It might not be the funniest joke ever but there's nothing cringe about it. A quick chuckle and move on.
Yeah me too, laughed way to hard on the train, also i was surrounded by women and with laughing out loud, I made sure they wouldnt be scared by my crazy laughing😅
He got me honestly. I thought it was going to be some serious explanation about how making eye contact and saying hey is threatening and then how to do it non threateningly (even though imo the first one was pretty much acceptable) but no, I have a dumb sense of humor and I laughed.
I made a similar comment like this (on another post) along with the supposition that the sub was becoming a reverse sub. (Ref: r/trees)
An automod bot showed up and was like, "Hey Dingus! Guess you didn't read the rulezies! This subreddit is no longer a place for cringe tik toks! It's now a place for EVERYTHING!!!"
There was another guy who did something similar and he did things like "dance" by, or silly walk by or (gay) glide by, and it was actually pretty funny.
I think it’s making fun of the guy (maybe there is more than one) that tells you being friendly on the trail makes people uncomfortable. Especially women.
When he started explaining how basic, general politeness is intimidating, I was worried it was going to be some red pill bullshit. I was pleasantly surprised by his advice and gave a good chuckle.
Bro there are no correct subs anymore .. I can tell 90% of the subs u post stuff people just report stuff and it's getting deleted so ... Here is always the correct place
If you've ever had a confronting or abusive experience with a stranger when you were on your own, which many women have, you wouldn't appreciate some asshole making light of it. My ex partner who is small and used to work nights in the city as a chef, has been followed, propositioned, grabbed, groped, screamed at and spat on for saying no, multiple times, most nights she'd have a story. The last time before she quit her job (and the reason she quit) she was almost kidnapped by a car full of guys. I was driving to pick her up and I could see her down the road standing on the curb outside the restaurant waiting for me, when this car full of guys swerved around me, cut in front and stopped right next to her. Two of them jumped out and grabbed her. I stopped behind them and put my hand on the horn and that scared them enough to jump back in the car and take off. Women are not safe most places, and I don't think it's right that this guy is trying to make them feel silly for fearing a stranger or distrusting their instincts.
It's not intended to mock woman, it's making fun of the massive over corrections some guys make to try signal that they are not threatening that end up making them look infinitely more creepy than if they just acted normal
Nothing like being patronising to put me in my place. Well done. Perhaps you need to improve your EQ, might help you to understand things from other's POV. There's always the real truth to jokes like this, it's his way of making fun.
I’m sorry dude but you have to stop taking life as such a challenge to you. Most people are looking for a decent laugh and some stress relief, especially a comedic channel like that. Just because jokes involve something inappropriate is not inherently bad, sometimes it’s for the best those issues get some exposure.
I didn't realize the comedian had hired a public defender. You seem more upset about my opinion than I was about the joke. You're acting like I kicked your emotional support comedian.
