What the fuck is wrong with you?
My personal go-to is, “They’re a human being, just like you.”
Being human doesn’t make you good. Plenty of humans are monsters. They’re not some eldritch evil that simply started existing hating, they chose this.
That makes them worse, of course… but still very very human.
friend says fucked up shit, asks if you agree
“What? No. Shit no! I believe you get your ass kicked for saying shit like that.”
Nah. Don’t wait for them to ask. Tell them they are being an asshat. It’s good for them
“What the fuck dude, you’re talking like there’s no paper in tray two after I just filled it. Fuck off!”
My go-to is “Why do you think that is an okay thing to say?”
Ask them to explain the “joke” then once they finish say I didn’t find the joke funny.
“Oh, jokes just normally have a punchline and aren’t just stating something really backwards”
As long as 1 singular person finds the joke funny it still counts as a joke.
I have a lot of jokes where my friends don’t find them funny. But there’s always a punch line, some smart wordplay, terrible pun, even if they feel like it’s too forced (smh).
Racists do know that openly saying that “minorities being abused is funny” sounds racist as fuck, so they try to avoid explaining their jokes.
