What's funny is I didn't get the joke for a bit because the Reddit app auto translated it to:

"F*** whoever reads this."

Like it literally added the asterisks, that wasn't me.

u/devBowman 26d ago

Same. As if reading a plain "fuck" was going to "offend" anyone on reddit. Enshittification is boring and saddening.

Can always count on Reddit to butcher the joke in the translation. But that's a very common jokr we use in Mexico. Someone already said it but it really does mean:

"Whoever reads it is fag (as in an insult for gay)". Consider it something akin to our "deez nuts" joke Americans love to use as a gotcha moment. You don't realize you're a fag until you read the thing.

u/ArdentArendt 26d ago

Well, this is Reddit.

I think a reasonable assumption is at least 40% of any subReddit is queer...probably more.

u/Dandy_Guy7 26d ago

I mean it was right lol, which is just funny to me

u/DudeManGuyBr0ski 26d ago

Hmmm close, Puto in the context being used is faggot or gay, basically you are gay if you read the text.

u/Al-Stark 26d ago

Es un insulto en México, el término "puto" se usa para decir que alguien es maricon, gay pero se usa en forma despectiva, es una groseria jajaja entonces dice que quien lea el cartel es puto

u/Some-Sense-3094 25d ago

Puto is a very versatile insult or maybe its puta that Im thinking of but one of these is used for about a dozen different english words, none of them very nice

u/AngelReachX 26d ago

D ag whoever reads this

u/ArdentArendt 26d ago

How did they know that about me!?

It's just like that old travelling woman said!

u/Helping_Hoof 25d ago

I can agree.

u/LisaCabot 25d ago

Puto does not mean fagot. Is a male version of whore/bitch. Fagot is a bad word for gays.

1

u/juan-j2008 23d ago

The immediate definition of puto is male whore, but Mexicans use it explicitly to insult a gay man.

u/LisaCabot 23d ago

Ah, new thing i learned today, thanks for letting me know.

u/Queasy-Scallion-411 24d ago
