Banned for commenting “The children should be beaten,” clearly as a joke? Are we not allowed to joke anymore?

You didn’t get the memo? Everyone needs to find the joke funny
1 u/retardojr [OP] 19 Feb 2024 19:08
They reviewed it and upheld the ban. Genuinely curious to meet the person who made this decision
1 u/banned_resurrection 19 Feb 2024 19:16
That’s what always happens, they’re all a bunch of pussy cry babies that get this power mad hard on from banning people
1 u/retardojr [OP] 19 Feb 2024 19:18
It’s bizarre. All for free too
1 u/StupidRequiem 19 Feb 2024 19:17
Did you clearly state it was a joke in the original comment or was it only "The children should be beaten"? The latter is understandable.
1 u/retardojr [OP] 19 Feb 2024 19:21
It’s clearly a joke. I’m not going to spend the rest of my life making it abundantly clear that I’m joking because some people are idiots. Grow the fuck up
1 u/StupidRequiem 19 Feb 2024 19:25
I'm asking for clarification. If it was simply "The children should be beaten" in the comment that got you banned. But seeing how you just straight up attacked for when I was quite obviously asking for clarification, I doubt you made it clear.
1 u/retardojr [OP] 19 Feb 2024 19:35
I didn’t attack you, I was commenting on the people who need a disclaimer declaring that something is a joke. If you’re one of those people….
1 u/StupidRequiem 19 Feb 2024 19:39
You just told me to "Grow the fuck up". That is attacking me. And you still have not clarified my question. It is quite obvious that you are not a victim in this and that you did not make the "joke" clear that it was a joke. As such it was taken for what it should have been taken. Next time make it clear if a joke is a joke. I personally do not find "The children should be beaten" as a joke. I could have probably taken that you were joking if you had clearly stated as such. For example. "The children should be beaten /s" or "The children should be beaten. (this is a joke)".

“Grow the fuck up” was directed at people who insist that people clarify something is a joke so that they don’t have to use a single brain cell. The world shouldn’t have to dumb it down because some people revile thinking. Turns out you do need to grow up
1 u/StupidRequiem 20 Feb 2024 07:21
I don't know why this is a hill you are choosing to die on. I have made it abundantly clear in what I meant. You, at this point, know what I meant. So let me dumb it down for you. I had asked you on what you had said exactly in the comment that got you banned. You have never answered it. You instead, insulted me, twice over at this point. I wasn't asking you to explain your "joke". I even advised you what to do in the future to reduce the chances of you getting banned on other subreddits. Your thinking that you don't have to make a "joke" in text abundantly clear that it was a joke is stupid, naive, and ignorant thinking. We cannot hear the infliction of the rather small voice in your head through text. The fact that you seem to not get this brings about the question of whether or not you have brain cell to use. Due to your extremely childish non-joke and outlook, the one who has to grow up is you. I have tried to be civil in this discussion. I will not be engaging with you again. I hope you can actually learn something from this and better yourself for the future.

You’re quite the charmer, OP.
1 u/guadsquad96 19 Feb 2024 21:05
/s has been the norm for jokes and sarcasm. It appears you infact were serious
