One of my colleagues actually sent me this because he thought it was funny. What do I even say? Am I getting baited? This guy has a PHD ffs
>Why isn't it funny?
>Do you even get the joke?
<Because it’s a non sequitur that doesn’t work if you actually know how deplatforming works, and the punchline is just ‘I’m smug vtuber and I laugh at your pain’ which I’ve seen 1,000,0000000 times before
>You don't get the joke
>It is not a non sequitur
<The non sequitur is the implication that debanking or deplatforming directly pays you, the deplatformer
<This doesn’t happen because it doesn’t transfer funds away from the deplatformed/debanked and the NGOs/organizations don’t directly sponsor this in a mercenary system
<The correct follow up is to brag about getting a promotion in the IDF
>Yes this would be the correct follow up, but ITS A DIFFERENT JOKE
>Consider for a moment, that this is false, and the joke does not refer to it, what else could have happened?
<The ADL sponsors it? The VTuber is sam bankman-fried’s weird squirrel girlfriend and thus by being jewish is directly benefiting the instant xhe bans a chud? Nether make sense
>No the first line is an older reference that the Jews are a collective illuminati like organization.
>The second line, combined with their look is implying that their "friend" is a spy, rat, or sold their account for personal profit.
>It is a critique on how western politics works, and its bringing it to a traditional game where its not important.
<..That’s the basis that I’m judging the joke on.
>How is a comical reinforcement of a conspiracy theory pushed onto an area where it has no effect not funny?
<It’s referential humor, not comical reinforcement
>Its adsurdisim, hence the anime girl, not referential humor

"Higher education" doesn't make you intelligent or funny.
