A joke, it indicates a joke made by a stand up. You know, comedy. It's not a confession of deeply held beliefs, jfc.
Then why is it funny?
It's funny because it will trigger guys who feel emasculated by vibrators
It's ok to hurt these people?
It's funny because some guys get mad about a woman using a vibrator, but would be thrilled to give LeBron an assist.
They have no problem being cooperative in some settings, but in the bedroom feel like it's a solo performance.
It's especially funny because sex, of all things, is basically defined by the cooperative nature; you aren't there to win points, you're just trying to have a good time.
So in summary, it's funny because it reverses expectations; the imaginary partner like cooperating in a competitive scenario, but gets competitive in a cooperative one.
People have different preferences in different situations, is that a bad thing somehow?
No, but it is kinda funny. Maybe it's not to your taste, humor is pretty subjective.
Would it be funny if you didn't agree with part of it?
I think it has more to do with my sense of humor than my opinions. Some people can't laugh at things they find objectionable. Some people struggle to find humor in certain situations.
Funny is not an intrinsic property of a bit, it's subjective. There are people who hardly laugh at anything. Funny is in the laugh of the beholder.
