why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!”

like being told to “move my fat ass” or just plain annoying and then telling me they were joking.
You're viewing a single thread.
There is this strange belief that humor is exempt from consequences.
In the book "Jam" by "Yahtzee Croshaw" there is a post-apocalyptic sect formed by a group of people from an internet forum. They are not stupid of course; they form a sect ironically. Then they worship a rambling drunk old man called Bob ironically and have ironic sermons and ironically imprison nonbelievers at the ironic orders of the High Priest.
If you point out that this is stupid and evil, they will roll their eyes and go "Duh!", then ironically execute you for heresy.
lol that sounds great. Is it a comedy?
He's the guy who did the Zero Punctuation game reviews for The Escapist so probably.
Note he still does hose kind of videos under a different name for Second Wind.
And also is still writing books! I think it came before Jam, but Mogworld is a great one.
An interesting but largely unrelated aside: he's also the one who coined the term "PC Master Race," apparently.
edit: Corrected a word.
Good to know. Thank you!
