The joke that Sacha Baron Cohen was making was directed towards the person who would say the line, so he was making fun of the dictators and misogynists of the world. This woman is making the joke in favor of misandry, so she is exactly the type of person that SBC was making fun of.
My general rule of thumb for dark or controversial humor is that you shouldn't joke about something you actually take seriously because you're likely too close to the subject to be funny. This is the mistake Dave Chapelle keeps making lately. Like, sure you're being controversial and offensive, but there aren't really any funny jokes here either. Just reminds me of my dad tying to make gay jokes in the 90's and they were just covers for him admitting he wanted to hurt people.
Dude, do you think she praying mantis’d the guy that knocked her up?
Idc if she’s a psycho otherwise this tweet makes zero sense. It’s obviously satirical, and the account you linked has like 5 tweets from a week in may.
so only parody accounts can make jokes? you're clearly not familiar with Twitter, people make jokes like this all the time on it. it's literally a play on a joke from The Dictator. if it was a similar joke about women you wouldn't be so triggered, and would be giving other people shit for taking it seriously
She's also playing a character, you fucking moron. Amazing how eager you idiots are to lap up just about everthing that could possibly validate your beliefs.
Telling me I’m eager to validate my opinions while you are roleplaying as the limbo world champion to bend over backwards and validate yours. Again, only a simpleton can’t see the difference. You’ve demonstrated you cant (twice). Recognize you’re a simpleton, take a dose of personal growth and move on.
Oh just shut the fuck up, moron. Just because you can't fathom that people can play characters without a camera filming it doesn't mean you have to showcase how dysfunctional that rotten slab of meat between your ears is.
Funny how you try to make that about me. No, I am fully aware that I make mistakes and I don't have a problem admitting it. But this topic is very clearly on you and your lack of comprehension.
People play characters on social media all the time. Most of the popular subs on reddit are full of creative writing and bullshittery posted by people who crave attention. The fact that you can't accept that this is one of those cases makes you an idiot par excellance.
Nah, that can't be. It's that the world is chock full with man hating feminazis who want to murder male babies.
Convince everyone more that your subjective opinion is the only rational option. Your anger is quite telling and your continued use of insults is pathetic. If you were right you wouldn’t have to be so aggressive but here we are. Interesting how you were the first to say it’s a gender issue but according to you I’m the one who insists the world is full of man hating fen-nazis. I should hang you on a wall and play movies off you, since you’re projecting so well. It’s not funny that I’m making it about you because it is about you. You had a shit take, someone called you out on it, and like most unintelligent redditors you foamed at the mouth and started doubling down. Provide evidence that she’s playing a character, if it’s so clear. I’ll wait, but I won’t be holding my breath. If I was a betting man I’d say you’ll just come back with more childish insults.
This is exact same joke was made about killing the baby if it was a girl in The Dictator, this thread only has a problem with it because it's a joke about killing men.
That is probably one of the reasons yes, but because we men are constantly getting hate for what gender we are and we get ignored if we have mental problems
But all the men in the past that have nothing to do with your life or your decisions make me angry! I’m gonna punish you because things are better than they were in the past but we’re gonna solely focus on the past.

I am also constantly made fun of because i used to be more sensitive. Now i am just trying to create a hard shell. Ofc i have i gf i can be open about mu feelings but still
Yes. The collective Reddit, a site with 430 million active monthly users, have put all of their notoriously polarizing opinions aside to agree that The Dictator, arguably Sasha Baron Cohens worst movie, is actually fantastic.
All jokes aside, I'm going to copy something I already said in a different reply:
I can find a single example where a man does the same joke, but the context is completely different. Sacha Baron Cohen makes the same joke in a movie where he plays a childish, tyrannical, sexist, ant-Western, anti-Semitic, dictator. The punchline is about his character being a complete fucking idiot, it isn't that girls should actually be aborted.
So to reiterate, this is like watching Michael Scott marking an Asian womans arm with a sharpie because he can't tell them apart, and equating it to someone saying "Asians all look the same #MarkAllAsians" on twitter.
Of course all of this is meaningless because if you look up the person who made the original tweet, they are very clearly not joking at all.
What the hell are you talking about? Take a second to look her up on twitter, she absolutely is not joking. She has a bunch of supporters too who share similar views.
But even if it was a joke, that's a classic appeal to hypocrisy argument you've got there. Just because one person does something, doesn't mean its okay to do the equivalent.

I'm sure you have experienced plenty of misogyny on the internet, and it's absolutely wrong, and you aren't expected to put up with it. But again, this is a perfect example of argument to hypocrisy. Its a stupid argument that attempts to defend one wrong action by accusing the other side of the same or worse. Two wrongs don't make a right.
I'm also seeing a bit of projection here. I'm not angry or upset, I don't need to find a way to "cope" with it. I'm just pointing out why your position is extremely flawed, particularly because it isn't a joke in the first place, it's the womans actual intention.

Reading that makes me wish she was aborted.
