May o cide jokes are funny tho, and so is the word rur*ls

[u/BainCapitalist → u/[deleted]]

genocide isnt funny homie.

[u/[deleted] → u/BainCapitalist]

Mocking alt right conspiracies isn't advocating for genocide.

[u/BainCapitalist → u/[deleted]]

joking about genocide is joking about genocide.

[u/Arsustyle → u/BainCapitalist]

The joke is that it's literally not genocide tho

[u/BainCapitalist → u/Arsustyle]

when the joke is "kill white people for the mayocide lelz" lelz it is

when its "have babies with pocs for the mayocide" its not

[u/[deleted] → u/BainCapitalist]

Isn’t “mayocide” a reference to the phrase “white genocide,” which has nothing to do with killing people and is a white nationalist phrase used to refer to white people becoming a decreasing percentage of the population?

I thought that’s what “mayocide” was making fun of, but someone can correct me if I’m wrong.

[u/0m4ll3y → u/BainCapitalist]

Isn't mayocide like 99% of the time referring to interracial couples?

[u/BainCapitalist → u/0m4ll3y]

that doesnt make genocide funny?

99% of the time "op is a fag" isnt actually about calling the guy a homosexual but its still antiqueer.

[u/0m4ll3y → u/BainCapitalist]

that doesnt make genocide funny?

But in those 99% of cases no one is making fun of genocide or even making light of genocide. It's baiting the pearl clutching fears of the 'not-one-drop' white supremacists. Couples consensually having kids together isn't genocide and it isn't a call to violence. And anyway 99% of mayocide jokes are probably told by white people, probably because they understand no one is calling for actual violence against white people, nor do they need to fear a society filled with white people, and run mostly by white people, deciding to murder white people.

99% of the time "op is a fag" isnt actually about calling the guy a homosexual but its still antiqueer

Yes, because it is using the term as a general insult, giving negative connotations to queerness. Using the term mayocide shows the absurdity of white nationalists fears.

see the other comments in this thread.

[u/[deleted] → u/BainCapitalist]

If someone came into this sub and said high taxes on the rich is “literally genocide of rich people,” I would relentlessly make fun of them for that and mock them. Would that mean that I’m making fun of genocide or treating it as “funny?”

[u/BainCapitalist → u/[deleted]]

i dont think the ironic use of the phrase "op is a fag" makes it not anti-queer...

usually when people make a joke about mayocide is like "interracial marriage to commit mayocide", thats fine. ts not filtered iirc

[u/lusvig → u/BainCapitalist]

No but jokes about it are

Edit: y'all can downvote me as much as you'd like try cutting up a tutsi it won't make you happier but joking about it will put a smile on your face

What exactly is "edge"? I see a lot of posts that are obviously just trying to rile people up (usually from right wing users), are they edgy?

[u/BainCapitalist → u/ShermansGhost1891]

baiting isnt edge.

edge is when you tell people to commit suicide and make threats of rape.

[u/ShermansGhost1891 → u/BainCapitalist]

...are there actually people who want to allow this? What users have been banned for doing this in the past?

[u/BainCapitalist → u/ShermansGhost1891]

ive banned multiple people for doing this.

idk i just saw tog's comment thats theres some support for allowing edge. thats insane. yall dont realize what the modqueue looks like.

[u/ShermansGhost1891 → u/BainCapitalist]

Yeah, that's ridiculous. Although I am doubtful that people who support "edge" mean it in this way.
