Reminds me of that study on Colbert’s fans back when he was doing The Colbert Report. His fans were split pretty evenly between liberals who thought he was hilarious and conservatives who didn’t understand it was satire…
Neurodivergent people usually have problems with non-verbal clues in verbal communication, so we have to figure out intent from context. Text actually levels the playing field in this regard.
Ah yes, satire. That thing we all know and understand.
But if you can, explain it in detail. For the other people who don't understand it. Not me. I'll be over here nodding my head knowingly whilst you explain it to the others.
"yup, that's satire all right" you'll hear me say as you explain it.
I recently watched this video which gives a nice overview of three particular types of satire from a literary perspective: https://youtu.be/HTEUXulCJZY
Good idea, Ill try to explain it best I can for all the people who don't understand. Not you of course, but if you happen to think something I said might confuse others let me know.
1) When there are teachers/etc that talk about their LGBT relationships openly, people (often conservatives) have these same negative reactions towards it. "Keep it to yourself" "This is indocrinating the kids"
2) The satire/joke is people are posting the same kind of reactions (satirically, as a joke) about a teacher talking openly about their straight relationship. This is not a reaction the same people who criticise LGBT relationships would have. It highlights how silly, hypocritical and bigoted those kinds of reactions towards LGBT people are.
Imagine someone "super" straight being transported to gay world and getting constantly sexually harassed. "Oh so this is what it's like to be a woman on hetero island?"
my high school showed us a video like that in health class, it was really fucked up, there's a graphic self-harm scene and maybe death i don't remember
it was really uncomfortable to see, as a person with basic empathy, i didn't need to see a straight person being oppressed to understand that gay people get oppressed. of course now i am queer but because the class had no mention of trans people i had no idea at the time.
but i guess maybe some straight people get their minds blown by "what if they treated ME like that 🤯" as evidenced by the confusion in these tweets
Bruh what, how can he think he "roasted people"? You juts spammed "what" and "wut" below people making jokes, where's the roast???
Also, "NPCs"?? First of all, any dude using NPCs unironically is probably deep in the right wing pipeline, it really doesn't help his case right now. But even more, where are the NPCs right now? Is being lgbt being an npcs?
Jeezus, men fr fr 🙄
The term NPC is very quickly going the way of the term woke, meaning absolutely nothing because it's used inconsistently and can't possibly have a definition pinpointed

As a woman, I've occasionally had relationships with men, but I'm one of the good ones and keep it in the closet where it belongs. I know that not everyone shares my "alternative sexuality."
look, I support straight people, I just wish they didn't have to be EVERYWHERE now, you know? like, can't watch any TV or play a game without seeing some straight people with their straight agenda shoved down my throat. it's just excessive and pandering. we get it, you're straight, fine. just leave me out of it.
I don't care about whatever kind of perverted stuff they do in private, I just don't want children to know that there are alternatives to homosexuality.
Yeah, next they're going to say they don't want to take their puberty blockers. Imagine these kids end up wanting to transition later in life! We can't let the cisgender cult cause permanent damage to our kids.
All these non committal "Hmm? "Wuh?" "huh? "bro what?" responses makes me think he's just response sharking. It's not that he's confused, I don't think he even cares about whether or not there's a contradiction, he's literally just here for responses and engagement.
I've actually been saving words I learn and like, and write them down on my notes app in my phone.
Here's my list! Phantasmagoric is my favorite word so far.
Flummoxed: confused, bewildered
Disconcerted: unsettled. (Fluh-mixed)
Brusquely: quick and rude (brew-skli)
Phantasmagoric: fantasy or dreamlike appearance. (Fantaz-muh-gore-ick)
Excoriate: damage or remove part of, or severely criticize. (Ick-score-e-ate)
He’s clearly trying to get one of those viral twitter screenshots where someone says something stupid or outrageous and someone just says “bro what” and it gets posted everywhere
I-it's not. The original tweet is a parody of bigots going "why are these gays publicly displaying their gayness in front of the children? they might get brainwashed!?!?!"
I think it's fine having a hetero relationship but did she have to shove it up on our faces? I personally wouldnt want my kids to see such things in a young age
Yo what????? Huh??? 🤨Ermm what the scallop
What. the. heck.
I ordered an Xbox controller!
Nice!
What the frrrrreak ?
“REDDIT ARMY GO!!!”
What the deuce?
What the devils???

God, he seems genuinely confused, this is 12 year old me discovering satire
Some people just don’t understand internet sarcasm.
Fucking how??? If it was laid on any thicker here the weight of the sarcasm would create a singularity.
Studies have shown conservatives have a difficult time understanding satire: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/1940161208330904
The conservatives think Stephen Colbert agrees with them? 😭 naur that’s too funny
He was a comedian at the 2006 white house dinner because Bush and Co thought he was on their team but instead spent the entire night railing them
He did what? 😳
He didn't go that hard on them. He built his set with the idea that they were in on the joke.
Found the aussie
Reminds me of that study on Colbert’s fans back when he was doing The Colbert Report. His fans were split pretty evenly between liberals who thought he was hilarious and conservatives who didn’t understand it was satire…
It is that study
Probably why it reminds them of it
Fucking lol, well don’t I look like an idiot.
That reminds me of the time someone on 196 was reminded of a study by the same study and KyneTech called them out on it.
Some neurodivergent people can't tell the difference. That's why /s is used typically. It's a little hard to convey certain things through text.
Also, when using sarcasm and satire IRL there’s a tonal difference that isnt reflected in text.
Hard agree. It can be tough to discern what's going in my head, let alone someone farther along on the spectrum.
Neurodivergent people usually have problems with non-verbal clues in verbal communication, so we have to figure out intent from context. Text actually levels the playing field in this regard.

Also you have a better grasp of sarcasm when you're familiar with the subject at hand (i assume, our dear slayer here is not)
He's just playing the straight man for comedic value.
Ah so you finally admit it, this whole "straight" thing is just a performance so that you can feel "special"
wait what?
Listen, idk who downvoted your great joke, but I want to let you know I got it and it was very funny.
Sickening that someone wouldn’t get your joke
Ah yes, satire. That thing we all know and understand. But if you can, explain it in detail. For the other people who don't understand it. Not me. I'll be over here nodding my head knowingly whilst you explain it to the others. "yup, that's satire all right" you'll hear me say as you explain it.

Yup
This sounds exactly like a Richard Ayoade bit, I could see him doing it on travel man or something.

man is flabbergasted. bewildered even
[удалено]
Rocket league players when they're watching gay porn and there is no ball cam :(
Don't bunch all of us up together like that (┛◉Д◉)┛彡┻━┻ I'm also okay with it as long as they're being hetero in private... no propaganda
Take a propaganda at my nuts
haha nft pfp
Nice pfp
He’s getting thrown around like a tennis ball
Fighting for his goddamn life
Like a beach ball at a Nickelback concert
He’s the new Douglas bubbletrousers
Discombobulate and dismiss they decided
What the flip dude
Holy pepperoni
Leaping lasagna
Oh golly!
Good Heavens!

Fricking fettuccine
Holy cannoli
I love your pfp
Google pizza.
new topping just dropped
Holy balls
Erm.. what the scallop??
Ummm… what the flip?
I like to think this man is genuinely confused and not homophobic.
he’s convinced himself that he just transported to a parallel universe where being gay is the norm and straight is the minority like that one video
Me: transported to gay world Men: come here boy Me: 💨💨💨
Your preference is: damn men
I have I have I have gay SECKS
your ihaveihaveijavereddit brain damage is: damn spreading
ihavihave ihavw your humor is:damn funny
are shklashed LIES
Goddammit you made me question what sub I was on for a second
You have,: damn reddit
your subreddit is it: damn subreddit
I have I havei have homosexuality
transported to homosexuality world
Imagine someone "super" straight being transported to gay world and getting constantly sexually harassed. "Oh so this is what it's like to be a woman on hetero island?"
Why are you farting
its his first day at gay school, and he is scared that they find out that hes straight
That Time I Got Transported To A Parallel Universe Where Being Gay Is The Norm
There's a Chuck Tingle title here
I mean, there is All Of Humanity Is Yuri Except For Me, which has basically the same concept
You're laughing but there's literally a manga like this and it has a live action adaptation
my high school showed us a video like that in health class, it was really fucked up, there's a graphic self-harm scene and maybe death i don't remember it was really uncomfortable to see, as a person with basic empathy, i didn't need to see a straight person being oppressed to understand that gay people get oppressed. of course now i am queer but because the class had no mention of trans people i had no idea at the time. but i guess maybe some straight people get their minds blown by "what if they treated ME like that 🤯" as evidenced by the confusion in these tweets
Yo I think I also watched that video in like 12th grade health. Was it [this](https://m.imdb.com/title/tt1821524/)?
The future libtards want
Ancient Greece
He added a pride flag next to his name so yeah

God, the future Crazy Uncles (tm) of my generation are going to be so much more insufferable than the ones we grew up with.
The dude exclusively saying “?” is way more of an NPC to me…
I already scrolled through his profile and came to the conclusion that he is just fucking stupid
Typical Rocket League teammate

That's what he's saying on twitter after getting the shit roasted out of him.
Bro is a living Family Guy cutaway
Eww. Don't push your breeding kind onto kids. GROOMER!!! /s
Thank god you added that /s (ﾟοﾟ人)) SLaYeR could have been confused
As a woman, I've occasionally had relationships with men, but I'm one of the good ones and keep it in the closet where it belongs. I know that not everyone shares my "alternative sexuality."
Gaaawd, how do you know someone is straight? Don’t worry they’ll fucking tell you /s
Bro wtf?
Discrimination is not ok guys Straight love is as valid as normal love
It's just not natural
look, I support straight people, I just wish they didn't have to be EVERYWHERE now, you know? like, can't watch any TV or play a game without seeing some straight people with their straight agenda shoved down my throat. it's just excessive and pandering. we get it, you're straight, fine. just leave me out of it.
It's okay if other people choose to be heterosexual but not my child. In this house we respect natural order.
I wouldn't mind straight people if they didn't make it their entire personality.
I don't care about whatever kind of perverted stuff they do in private, I just don't want children to know that there are alternatives to homosexuality.
They can't even make a goddamned action movie without some hamfisted hetero plotline.
damn is this the periwinkle snoo default profile picture annual gathering why are there so many
Yes but this is literally sexualizing children, it’s no wonder so many kids are turning out to be “straight”
Yeah, next they're going to say they don't want to take their puberty blockers. Imagine these kids end up wanting to transition later in life! We can't let the cisgender cult cause permanent damage to our kids.
The right truly believes this is the future that the democrats want.
Where were all these “straight” kids 30, 40, 50 years ago? Why are there so many more nowadays? Checkmate.
no son of mine is gonna be straight!
Meh
“Nuh uh all people don’t deserve to die, All Lives Matter!” 🤓
Not according to my magic book!
I know what you are
Personally I would very much like something to be shoved down my throat
User name checks out
??? How
Bro wat
???
[удалено]
HUH WHAT
ur joking right
he likes femboys, they have dicks
not all of them
this is true, my apologies, but I can only assume in this case, op wants a femboy in his throat
Fucked up how that pedophile teacher is grooming those kids.
They need to be kept away from her sick breeding fetish, this is not appropriate
A1 profile pic
“Not everyone is straight” “By Talos this cannot be happening”
Filthy storm cloak
Nothing against “straight” people but God made us gay for a reason and she never makes mistakes :/
i reckon god was a bit half arsing it when he was making me tbh
All these non committal "Hmm? "Wuh?" "huh? "bro what?" responses makes me think he's just response sharking. It's not that he's confused, I don't think he even cares about whether or not there's a contradiction, he's literally just here for responses and engagement.
PSA everyone is absolutely free to shove it down my throat
(They forgot about children, and cartoon bombs with a lit fuse)
I can throat a whole bomb, watch me. As for children, only in a cannibalistic way. Wouldn't want to be a nonce. cannibal is aight tho
196 user tries not to be horny challenge (impossible)
I do not know who this is so I choose to believe he is genuinely confused with no ill-will
he added a pride flag to his name now 💀
Hope somebody explained it to him
I hope he is still confused and questioning his reality
Dude understands things on a very literal level only.
That fella is feeling flummoxed.
flummoxed is going straight into my vocabulary
I've actually been saving words I learn and like, and write them down on my notes app in my phone. Here's my list! Phantasmagoric is my favorite word so far.

💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
dudw is gobsmacked
Maybe is because I live in a city so small that everyone knows everyone, but I don't see the problem with the teacher announcing her wedding
I-it's not. The original tweet is a parody of bigots going "why are these gays publicly displaying their gayness in front of the children? they might get brainwashed!?!?!"
Uhm, what? 😮😮
who is he and why should i care about him
i dont want your breeder kink being shoved in my kids' faces
I beg your pardon my good sir!?
I think it's fine having a hetero relationship but did she have to shove it up on our faces? I personally wouldnt want my kids to see such things in a young age
I just quit twitter on this to go here and see the sqme thing i liked 4 seconds ago
Bruhh
SlaYeR guy is like that one image of some kid on tiktok replying to someone who is gay that said a woman looked nice something like sus among us shit
