    you’ll note that the esteemed ex-posters only referred to wives in their shitty comments. not husbands, not boyfriends, not uncles or grandfathers. wives. only that.

    at the fucking core of it, “haha it’s funny because I’m joking that my/your/their wife can be made into food” is still the essential point that these shitty remarks centered on. tell me how that’s anything but focused?

    please fuck off with that bullshit.

      This is not true. You’ve probably read the rest of the comments in this comment section, and found there’s a variety of absurd comments, not all centered around women. The fact that wives were chosen here is pretty random, as is commonly the case with absurd humor.

      You’ve read far too deeply into this. My humor is dark sometimes, and I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable. My joke was a play on the first and was meant to be so outlandish as to indicate that I was plainly joking

      It is also a reference to “A Modest Proposal,” a premier work in satire but also very deeply sardonic and dark.

        That’s a nice way of ending the conversation with the upper hand. No need to start calling people names for something so innocuous 🙄

            No, I was replying to you. Instead of calling you a misogynist pig, they could have just moved on. Your joke was kinda lame (with all due respect), but your apology is a nice way of ending this stupid controversy over a harmless post.
