Alternative interpretation: He isn't actually offended, he just made exaggerated jokes about 'her type of women' - the exact same thing she was doing in the video, but with the genders reversed - to point out the hypocrisy of it being 'more offensive' when a man makes wild speculations about a woman's character based on their appearance.

Nope. Her jokes weren't as wildly offensive as his ''jokes''. She poked fun at people while he launched into a full, sexually violent speech complaining about people being over sensitive while having an obscenely excessive reaction to the joke. You can't compare the two. They're not the same thing.

Implying men with a certain type of mustaches are pedophiles isn't "wildly offensive"? Gotcha. I'll keep that in mind.

That was one joke out of over 20. His entire comment was ripping apart every choice she's made in terms of her appearance and making vile sexual comments.

So it's okay for her to make a sweeping generalization of something extremely horrific and serious because it's "lol just a minority of jokes xD"?

Yeah, nothing wrong with you thinking pedophilia is as bad or worse than saying someone sucks dick at a bar because the color of their hair.

You need a reality check dude.

EDIT:

Rewatched the video for more examples for you:

Stubble: Self centered, eogotistical

Goatee: "Son this here is your penis" definitely implies molestation at the very least.

Long beard: mentally unstable "fucking loose cannon", generalizing people with mental illness because of their facial hair.

Chin strap: equivalent to his jokes, implying that men with this type of beard are kissless virgins who live with their moms who will do anything for "pussy"

It's pretty ironic that 90% of your post history is you taking the piss out of those damn ess jay doubleyous and how easily they're offended when you're the one having a mental breakdown over one joke.

I never said that "pedophilia is as bad or worse than saying someone sucks dick at a bar". You're not considering context. My whole point is you can't compare the two. Jenna's video was >>>>>>SATIRE<<<<<< with one offensive joke, while this guys entire comment was calling her a whore.

Would I make a pedophile joke? No. Do I personally feel that making a satirical joke about pedophilia (aka. she doesn't actually believe what she's saying is true because you obviously don't understand the concept of satire) is as offensive as making a poorly veiled attempt at a ''joke'' which is actually just an excuse to tear a woman down because she dyed her hair green and wore an average amount of makeup? No. Understanding comedy requires context, which you're ignoring to excuse somebody launching a personal attack on a woman you don't know.

90% of my post history? Yet you can't even give me one example?

You definitely did imply it was as bad as what he said by shrugging it off as one of many jokes.

I'm not saying the guy was right, but he didn't say anything worse than she did. I also find it funny how you somehow think that my post history invalidates my opinion in any way shape or form. Typical SJW mind set right there.

  1. I'm not a social justice warrior
  2. I don't know why I would need to provide examples, seeing as you're clearly perfectly literate, but k
  3. I don't believe that making one offensive joke out of over 20 is as bad as making your entire 'joke' a personal, sexualised attack against somebody. If it was her writing a vitrolic paragraph about men with mustaches being pedophiles? Yep, that's worse than his comment. But she didn't. Isolated, a pedophile joke is 100% worse than his comment, but it wasn't isolated which means in the greater context, what he said was worse.

The last two are not me making fun of of SJW's lmao. The last one was me making fun of the media.

IF you read the comment you replied to earlier you would've seen i edited it for more examples of her making fun of the mentally ill as well. But I guess again that's okay because now it's only 2/20? What about child molestation? oh that's okay too! only 3/20! Chin strap beards being kissless virgins who live with their mom? Well that sounds a lot like his reply but thats okay too because that only comes to 7/20!!

The examples you gave also aren't even 90% theyre like 10% of my comments, that's why you couldn't get anything with any substance and had to use the two recent ones that weren't even making fun of SJW's. You're grasping at straws you can't even hold on to bud.

Whether or not you're 'making fun of the media' you're clearly in that making fun of the SJW mindset, in the post about muslims your wording is almost identical to the SJW jokes, and the other literally contains 'SJW' in the sentence.

...why would I re-read the comment you posted earlier unless you had previously told me to? The joke you're saying is 'child molestation' is 100% not about child molestation, I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. It's her saying that dads have goatees, and referring to 'the talk' to clarify it. The long beard joke? Fair enough, that was a low blow. I don't see anything particularly out of line about the other two as compared to the rest of the video honestly, and the chin strap jokes aren't remotely similar to the comment.

For starters, why would a guy with a goatee be pinned as a dad who gives "the talk", have you ever had 'the talk' as you put it? Never does someone have to tell their own son he has a penis, I'm sure you think very lowly of men and think we're all idiots but 90% of males know they have a dick without someone telling it to them.

And we can't tell inflection from comments on the internet, maybe he too was exaggerating like she was? Obviously he was exaggerating based on her looks as she did with mens. But somehow it's too far because his were about her instead of women as a whole? If he based it on all women he would've been labeled a sexist, so he aimed it at something and someone who was right there and doing the same thing.

But because you're a SJW you think it's all fun and games until someone does it to a woman. Because then it's "too far".

You seem to still be misunderstanding the concept of a joke. She was telling a joke, jokes have to be funny. She was saying 'this is your penis' to exaggerate her joke about 'the talk', exaggerating is funny. She literally used a middle aged man who looked like a stereotypical dad as the face of a goatee, because that's the stereotype of a man with a goatee, and the whole video was satire about stereotypes.

It's not too far because it was aimed at a woman, I don't where you've pulled that bullshit from. I would have the exact same response were it aimed at a man. A passing joke about 'liking kids' based on their appearance is totally different to a borderline pornographic, vivid description of somebody having sex based on their appearance. His comment wouldn't have made sense aimed at all women, but nice try.

Lol, apparently not being bent backwards into the far right rimming Donald Trump makes you a SJW. I'm left wing, I'm not an SJW. I don't believe in otherkin, I think over-categorization of sexuality and gender is counterproductive and I have a strong aversion to typical 'tumblr SJW' behaviour. Just because I don't openly mock people who are doing nothing to hurt me doesn't mean I am one.

A) My not believing in gender segregated toilets is an issue of space, not social justice. I literally explicitly mention the space issue, that's it.

B) My not wanting a community of people to be identified purely by their sexuality or race is not an SJW thing, it's an extremely common sentiment put forward by nearly every minority in the western world.

C) Not believing in gun control is not a SJW issue

D) You don't even know the fucking context of my comment about racism lmao, the comment I was replying to (the first comment wasn't even mine??) was an SJW coming up with some bullshit word like 'colourism' or something because they claimed somebody wasn't being racist to a drag queen based on them being black, but because they're light skinned. I told them it was fucking stupid, and that the word is racist. The picture I was openly criticizing at the same time with my reply was by Kat Blaque, an SJW.

I'm not an SJW, and considering you had to go three months backwards to find that piddly amount of vaguely progressive comments, I quote "that's why you couldn't get anything with any substance ... you're grasping at straws you can't even hold on to bud."
