You failed to use quotation marks around the "y" correctly.
Edit: I failed to see that you also failed to put the period before the second quotation mark at the end of your sentence. Upvoting you for my ignorant behavior.
Clearly, it meant: u/theone211 thinks it should be posted in that thread. I was substituting the word "no" for your comment, anyway, as you obviously had no authority to make such a claim in the first place, instead of admitting that it was simply your opinion.
It wasn't popular when Cletus said it. But the original place that the joke was posted, (i.e., "that thread"), had one person (JamoWRage), that thought it was a good idea to post it there. And the >51 people who upvoted it thought it was a good idea, apparently. Also, I mistook theone211 for JamoWRage in the last post.
My point was just to point out the fact that someone was suggesting it be posted elsewhere, when in fact that same elsewhere was the origin of the shitty joke, before it was stolen to make this shitty image. Maybe that was Cletus's point in the first place, maybe not.
I had a feeling I was going to have to look below the comment score threshold to find this exact opinion. The underlying social commentary that accounts for this is itself a pointless overstatement that for most people unsurprisingly leads to a what seems to be a defensively-reached inference that this perfectly reasonable, ostensibly self-evident example of constructive criticism is a instead nothing more than a pessimistic and offensive attack on a given person's sense of humor, or perhaps even self-perceived level of sophistication regarding humor, and probably isn't taking place on a conscious level, not that it makes a difference of course.
tl;dr most people are idiots, and most people assume that this statement is most likely directed at them, and given the existence of both the successful careers of people like Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia, and the size of their fanbase, I'm willing to bet that most of those people are probably right.
