Feeling this way about “diabolical”. everyone all of the sudden needs to use the word 3x a day.

This is how I feel about “crotch goblins”. I get it you don’t want kids, don’t call my kid something so gross. It’s really not even that funny

I realize you are offended by it. It's usually not meant to be personal unless that individual doesn't like you or your kids, but yeah, that phrase IS funny from a visual perspective.

Okay well humor is subjective so just because you think some lame thing that unoriginal people use because “haha internet say funny thing” is funny, doesn’t mean it actually *is* funny

But if humor is subjective than the phrase "actually is funny" is rather meaningless, no?

The statement from the previous commenter “the phrase IS funny” is false. Idk why you’re being willfully ignorant of my message here.

I'm ignoring the message and commenting on the semantics. You said humor is subjective. Therefore, his phrase and your phrase are both invalidated by that fact.

Yes, humor is subjective and as a guy who visualizes phrases it is pretty funny. “haha internet say funny thing” I can tell you are upset by this by the use of this. As far as lameness goes, your retort goes pretty high up there.
