    sigh I’m not happy I’m doing this either; maybe it’s the stress

    I know the trope that this is playing on. I’m in collections myself for a lot of money for a partial heart attack scare (monitor your potassium levels!). It just feels icky to me since sexual assault of hospital patients absolutely does happen.

    I guess for me it’s one thing to portray a doctor with a cheese grater (or the tens of other absurd variations on this meme) compared to an honestly more plausible sexual assault.

    Then the double whammy of states just not helping women who want to carry to term but can’t.

    All to say I see what the meme was aiming for, but I don’t love being raped as a punchline.

      This instances meme sub’s seem to have been devlolving into r/im14andthisisfunny for a minute now.

      Its a shame lemmy’s gotten big enough for the big meme sub’s to be insufferable before it got big enough for the smaller ones to flourish.

            I mean it’s the same vein as

            Gets a tattoo

            Card declines

            Tattoo artist pulls out a cheese grater

            The only reason people think this is unfunny is because of the rape aspect which, while I understand most people see as not cool, doesn’t instantly mean it’s not funny.

                That’s like…all memes? Someone makes a joke and the internet repeats it ad nauseum.

                I mean look at lemmy and the beans or jeans or beams. An already dumb joke recycled endlessly.

    He’s unzipping the pocket that contains his wallet, so that he can cover her expenses. Sheesh, you guys really assume the worst.

    I went into this comment section expecting to be disappointed. Color me impressed.

    This could have been a joke about him putting it back in. Like, “Hey, don’t toss that yet” or something. Not sure why rape would be a funny punchline.

    Geez people, calm the fuck down. It’s just a spicy meme. Take a deep breath and listen to some music or something. It’s a shitpost community for crying out loud. I rather see this than the Boomer wife bad memes that have flooded the meme communities in recent weeks.

        While I understand and agree with your point, and I don’t particularly appreciate the subject matter, I’m also not a little bitch and am okay with seeing a controversial meme every now and then. Of course if the community gets flooded with similar memes, it’ll be a different conversation. But a one off spicy meme isn’t going to upset me. It’s LEMMY SHITPOST after all. Ya’ll need to save your energy for more important matters.

          I mean, the punchline is literally just implied rape, so…

              What’s the humor, honestly? That the woman gets raped? That’s what’s funny to you?

                The absurdism of the situation. You don’t typically reverse abortion if someone’s card is declined.

                Do you really not get what’s supposed to be the joke or do you not find it funny? Because those are two very different things.

            Society in general isn’t against dark jokes. But sometimes people are too uptight for them, it’s true. Why they can’t just be “I didn’t enjoy that but it’s okay”, who knows.

              Why they can’t just be “I didn’t enjoy that but it’s okay”, who knows.

              Obviously, it’s because anyone who finds a rape joke funny is a bit creepy and rapey.

          People use the phrase “boys will be boys” to normalize extremely toxic and abusive behaviour, if such behaviour is what you mean by no one being allowed to be boys, then damn right.

        I guess I postest it a few days ago and it got deleted. Still it’s a serious topic and I had a good lough.

            Was raped as a child. Still fucking laughed because I’m not a loser stick in the mud.

            Also attempted suicide and love suicide jokes.

            Keep your virtue signaling outside of shitposting zones.

            Edit: Could’ve worded this better. I cope with humor so I get a little touchy when people tell me laughing about it makes me a bad person.

      This meme was probably reposted many times before op. Also, calm down, it’s just a shitpost it’s not like the author would come to screw you

    This seems in pretty bad taste considering how frequently news comes out about women being raped while under healthcare.
