They/them NB
The most annoying thing about being famous is having to tell everyone how famous you are.

There is a user named JimmyDoreIsALefty who constantly posts bait and argues in the comments of it.
Flying squid is definitely not a troll tho. Not sure which bones guy you mean.
Damn I forgot about dore is a lefty!
This meme is a paint over of a screenshot from the movie Predator.
I specifically included the outside and censored it because I felt the Facebook context added to it.
Just posting this meme on its own doesn’t nearly have the effect if you don’t know it was posted by a middle aged person.
This is a very US centric joke.
This was intended as ironic humor but it’s hard to tell the tone when nobody here knows that I’m a pansexual nonbinary little twink boy that’s engaged to another nonbinary person.
I’m just going to delete it.
Classic case of Poes law
Intent doesn’t really matter if the entire butt of the joke is that this person is asking like a “lesser” group.
Even if intent did matter… How would a passive observer be able to tell if the person meant it or not? You really can’t without knowing both parties involved, their history together, and if that person regularly does similar styles of joke.
It’s easier to just pick a different word to insult someone’s intelligence instead of one that’s designed to hurt a specific group of people.
The main issue that seems to be the disconnect is simply that you are using the word as an insult.
Calling someone unintelligent is fine (I feel at least) but specifically using words that are associated with disabled people as an insult towards abled people is blatantly putting one group on top of the other.
The insult in that case cuts both ways. The person you are directly talking to is insulted because they are acting like a “lower group” and you’re also insulting the entire group by saying they are inherently lesser.
You can not use a group of people as an insult without inherently viewing that group as insult worthy.
What show is that?
This is a parody of Boomer memes.
The classic meme goes “not a phone in sight. Just people enjoying the moment”. This is a play on that by swapping the words and romanticizing phones instead.
Notably… I’m actually the one sending every one of those.
There’s an icon next to the message that means “sent” on the app.
Overall the apps UI is horrible though so it’s not a surprise people are confused.
Your post includes a request for more down votes… That’s troll shit.
It’s a common problem
