#get with the program the new humor is benevolent surrealism (x)

I always wanted to know what to call it.

This is something I’ve been meaning to talk about, and I may do a full blog post at some point, but here’s a capsule version:

The Benign Violation Theory of humor, which is probably the best one out there, suggests that something is perceived as funny when it is simultaneously perceived as violating how the world “should” work and as benign. Something like the “gun” meme, for example, is funny because it violates our sense of how a joke should progress, and at the same time it’s harmless. 

Racist/sexist/etc shock humor violates our sense of how the world work–in either a “that’s not true!” or “you’re not allowed to say that!” way–and therefore whether you find it funny is based on whether you find it benign, which is to say either you think it’s harmless or you don’t care about the people it harms. (This is the root of the punch up/kick down distinction–jokes that punch up are funnier than jokes that kick down because the people they target are less vulnerable and therefore less likely to experience harm.)

So yes, science agrees that if you think racist jokes are funny, the reason is that you don’t care about the feelings of the people the joke is about. There’s a word for that.

I was about NOT to post anything bioware related. B-but they seriously did it. They outdid themselves again… They made me post again, because they are so incapable. 

Now check this out and tell me something good about them, I double dare you.

The gun is backwards.

THE GUN IS FUCKING BACKWARDS.

Yes, PEEEEEPEEE (whatever your fucking stupid name is) Please shoot yourself. Holy fuck

EDIT: 

No, she is actually shooting it. Not giving it to someone.

EDIT 2:

It’s so funny how everyone in the replies tries to excuse it with: “s-she is giving it to him lol” You don’t even give a gun to someone the way she does.

I swear to god, the Bioware devs must be attempting to sink their company

Apathy is a hell of a thing.

the casual ironic homoeroticism of cis dude gamers is awkward and i’m still unsure why they do it 

In ancient Sparta they used to promote homoromantic relationships within the barracks because it was believed you would fight better if you were fighting for your boyfriend next to you

is this why dudes at the grandmaster rank on overwatch talk about blowing each other

You will never understand a warrior’s bond
