I read all the comments and I still don't understand what makes this comic interesting
It's four panel joke. 1. An arrogant man says he would never be with woman he's apparently never met and knows nothing about 2. The woman, rather than being upset, leans into his arrogant rejection by pretending she is devastated at the rejection 3-4 she continues to sarcastically be upset about the rejection to mock and derid this arrogant man.
That's it man. Pretty simple joke.
That's really stupid lol
But the question is, does that mean that the amount of time you spend focusing on it, asking about it, demanding strangers explain it to you, an even stupider use of time and effort?
Since it's top post I thought I was missing something. Now I'm confused why it's top post
It's a political statement. Guys are talking this way. Sure it's a caricature, but that doesn't make the statement less meaningful. Toxic masculinity is just that...it's toxic AF, and while I may not think she has the funniest comic ever, it's a good way to showcase the absurdity of our current times.
This is just reddit garbage, nothing funny here at all
I had hoped to escape seeing low-effort Pizzacake comics on the front page when I left reddit for good.
I don't even understand what the joke is or if there even is one
I guess melodramatic sarcasm isn't for everyone. I got a nice little chuckle out of it.
There's no joke, are you familiar with clapter?
This is false. The joke is that she is being sarcastic and derisive to an arrogant man for his foolish assumptions. Do you only see punchlines as highly literal observational ends to highly structured jokes? Because there's a lot of jokes that aren't structured this way or built on punchlines, set ups, observations, or the like.
