You know that multiple people told you a much more logical reading of the joke than the one you went out of your way to contort it into.
Congratulations, you’ve taken a vague feeling of frustration at people who value feeling self righteous over comedy’s existence in general, and with the moron/hillbilly comments, the feeling is now that I actively hate you. What a deeply shitty way to be. I don’t believe for one second you like standup comedy btw, because standup comedy necessarily contains jokes that could be twisted into something they aren’t. How do I know? That’s literally what the concept of humor is. You’re now blocked. Thanks for making the world a worse place.
Why would they say something clearly meant for you to read if they don’t understand the basics of blocking?
You’ve told readers here that you do not care about comedy and also that you very much want to feel victimized (“why do you think I look funny” gives that away hard). Everyone who disagrees with you is a transphobe, according to you. This attitude undoubtedly has a huge negative impact on you and those who interact with you. Which would be pitiable, except…
After reading this full exchange, I couldn’t agree with them more about the issue and about you. Blocking you now myself.
Everyone who disagrees with you is a transphobe, according to you
I disagree with this sentiment, mostly. My own experience is of course that almost everyone has at least some level of transphobia, but I don’t think that’s meant here. And most importantly: I do not think TrickDacy is a transphobe – at least not in any sense that is relevant for this discussion. They have a blind spot where they forget that a joke can be misinterpreted by its viewers, and maybe a little lack of empathy for ignoring that I felt scared by the image’s joke, but it would be unfair calling them a transphobe. Their words did hurt, but not everything that hurts is transphobia.

The more logical reading is sensible indeed.
That does not mean other readings cannot exist at the same time.
Also, I wonder if they understand that by blockine they don’t really block me from seeing them – only themself from seeing me.
