    Nah, objectification of people is fucking gross. That doesn’t change if you say “it’s just a joke, bro.” And it does matter when enough individually powerless people take up an idea. That’s literally how movements start. Like the MRA movement, for example, and now we have Andrew fucking Tate.

      But they do not take up the idea, because they do not take it seriously. That is what it means to have a joke, no?
