      I’ve noticed there’s an overwhelming amount of people that are subscribed to this community for some reason, that tend to majorly over analyze the strip this is the third post I’ve seen today where the top three is either complaining or something negative about the post. It’s weird

      Being said I don’t think this person is really complaining, I definitely don’t agree with the juxtaposition of don’t speak out when abused because I didn’t get that from that post at all and I still don’t understand how they came to that conclusion but, it’s a trend I’ve noticed

        I come here from all.

        Though when I do post a comment about the accuracy of a joke or some kind of serious angle, I don’t intend to imply “stop having fun!”

        I enjoy learning and seeing things that challenge my assumptions, so when I comment a “joke killer” comment, it’s meant as a “while we’re on the topic, this might be interesting”.

        I reject the idea that the only reply one should make to a joke is “haha” and then move on. Especially when the response makes a good point, like IMO the parent comment to this one did: some interpretations of “snitches get stitches” are more about protecting abusers than discouraging betrayal.

        The comic was still funny.

      Holy shit, it’s an open forum where we can talk about whatever the fuck we want. Why not just block me instead of being obnoxious?

        Well it kind of sounded like you just wrote down the whole joke and that’s it, so a holy shit teaction is understandable. I do get what you mean, I also find the bullying context a bit triggering, and I agree the phrase it was built around could have been used in different context. But the bullying context IS quite a classic and it shows the absurdity of the point very well, so I’m willing to allow the iffy aspect.
