I really really really hate “humor” where the setup is making someone feel bad and then the punchline is that you actually supported/approved of them all along. I can’t stand dumbass comics where someone comes out as gay and the other person is like “this is unacceptable” and you’re like “oh god I know that feeling of heart-sinking rejection” and then the next panel the person is like “unacceptable that you took this long to tell me I love you no mater what!!!”

that’s actually a really tame example compared to the bullshit I see all the time so let me tell you that it’s literally just Not Funny At All to make someone think you’re about to reject them for their gender identity, sexuality, race, etc. to set up some punchline of acceptance.

Not to be dramatic but it’s literally so fucking stupid and annoying just so ya know.

the reason I find it especially weird and stupid is that it’s so often people who AREN’T part of the group in question who make these jokes and draw these comics.

So it’s literally like people saying “hahaha wasn’t that funny? I made you think for a second that I hated you but it turns out I’m super progressive and understanding.”

Fuck off

It’s kinda like when someone goes to punch you and you instinctively flich or go to protect yourself, and then they laugh at you for it
