I'm not gonna engage in all that chain but just to say that you not getting banter isn't something to say you are not fun, that's explicitly why I said it idk why you are reading more into what I said. You clearly enjoy other kind of humor and that's fine, all I said is that doing an exercise of letting others enjoy this kind of humor in their consenting private (this was a private message) time wouldn't hurt.

I'm still surprised, you haven't heard of hyperbole as a comedy medium?

Never heard someone say "Let me teach you insult how to do this!*" To their friends? It's the same kinda humor.

Anyway, you seem to not want to engage with it so I'll stop, but please even if you don't like it please understand from afar that there's no malice. ❤️

I’m just seriously not understanding why hyperbole all of a sudden includes calling people “bitch“ or “asshole“ or using the word “Women“ as a pejorative. I’m honestly astonished how people have defended this. This has never been about malice, this has been about the fact that I said hey is it just me? and everybody decided to try mansplaining humor to me like I’m the weird one for thinking that calling my spouse or parents bitches isn’t banter. I’ve literally had people in this thread questioning my ability to hold a relationship over this. I don’t feel like I’m the one with the problem here honestly. I’m not the one who fucking hair triggered on somebody saying hey is it just me? And you at least have been a little calmer too but for real… this entire comment threat has been fucking insane.

I said I would stop but... Let me explain, I'm not mansplaining, I'm autismsplaining. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks, I was genuinely trying to describe something without trying shade, idk why other people got pissed over this. Sorry you had to endure spam and hate.

I'll stop now for real, have a great day!
