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.
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.
Excusing it with “it’s a shitpost community” has some real “boys will be boys” energy to it.
Agreed. Apparently on 2024 shitposting is just an excuse to be repugnant.

This just in, boys not allowed to be boys, even in a shitpostint sub.
Fucking hell Lemmy sometimes feels so goddman uptight about everything.
If being a boy involves rape jokes then yes, society in general has decided that being a boy is shitty.
I mean, the punchline is literally just implied rape, so…

Sometimes it’s just about having a laugh like with the meme here
