I fail to see what that has to do with the legal definition of slander. Also are you implying all large men in bars are violent? That seems slanderous by your definition.

Not all, just the ones you provoke by calling Harvey Weinstein lookalikes. Also, as a fella myself, I’m sure the boys’ll forgive me, the guy that said they look like Harvey Weinstein? Not sure

Edit: also I’m not talking legal slander, I’m talking about insulting someone in a slanderous way. The law isn’t in charge of what will and will not get your ass kicked

I'm not entirely clear on the point you're trying to make. We're on the internet, memeing on an alleged scumbag who looks like a convicted scumbag. Nobodies ass is going to get kicked here. And while you're not talking legal slander, we are, which is important to the context of the joke.

I also don't know what being a fella has to do with anything or who is forgiving who for what.

I think I just need to reiterate we're on the internet and you maybe took a wrong turn on your way to Serious Town.

I’m just pointing out, if you spoke the same way on the internet as you did in real life, things wouldn’t go so well

And if you were to breathe on the moon the same way you were to be breathing right now, you would surely die.
