Funny, not funny.

Honestly, this is humor.

Humor.

I'm all for most of what I see in this subreddit. But one common criticism we have with women is that they can't take a joke.

Let's not be hypocrites.

Ya I had the same thought about reversing it, when did men become the clowns of society where we play the butt of all jokes.

Maybe because it's a comment rather than its own post

BaconPit · 2016-11-14T05:48:12+00:00

Maybe it's because the artist bases his comics on his family and you changed it around to fit an agenda in a subreddit that has nothing to do with MRA.

This actually strikes a little close to home: Mom told me that she bet i wouldn't have the determination to join the wrestling team and that caused me to do it. still haven't forgiven her.

See: Family Guy, The Simpsons, etc.

Jeezus, guys, its a joke. Jooooooke.

We cannot mock feminists for getting all butthurt at jokes and then do exactly the same thing here, but then say "yeah, but this really isnt funny because, um, misandry or something".

wanked_in_space · 2016-11-14T04:45:13+00:00

I also would downvote the equivalent of a repost.

Avannar · 2016-11-14T03:39:16+00:00

The original comic isn't a commentary on gender. Do MRAs getting riled up over the original see no irony in their ability to take a joke? Isn't this what you guys mock SJWs over? Getting "triggered" by webcomics?

ThirdTurnip · 2016-11-14T00:24:21+00:00

I don't see either of them as funny. Or horrendous.

Drag0nV3n0m231 · 2016-11-14T03:09:45+00:00

I don't quite get it, whats the problem.

Zuckerkitty · 2016-11-14T03:56:15+00:00

It's not funny because the facial expressions in the last two panels of the edited version of the comic doesn't fit as a joke.

numb3red · 2016-11-14T04:04:48+00:00

I don't see how this is sexist.

2016-11-14T05:03:20+00:00

Was there a joke somewhere?

SEXM0NEYPOWER · 2016-11-14T05:31:13+00:00

Will neither upvote or downvote. Why? Neither were funny tbh.

Bla34112 · 2016-11-14T04:20:21+00:00

It's a joke, a harmless one.

And they can tell that you're being butthurt about it, that's why there are downvotes

Beamazedbyme · 2016-11-14T05:22:22+00:00

Crazy idea: what if both versions are funny, just the people who voted the second version down did so because they though the joke had nothing to do with gender?

Sanctuary-7 · 2016-11-16T23:05:47+00:00

Apart from the fact that, as others mentioned, you posted this as a comment rather than its own post, the last two panels doesn't work with regards to the relation of the text to their facial expressions. This completely changes the tone of the comic which makes it unfunny, something OP is unable to to grasp.

The first has a man proud of his achievement, smiling to his wife, while the woman semi-patronizingly feigning surprise.

The second has a woman seemingly suffering anxiety about her parenting skills, while the husband is snickering at her anxiety.

JonSnowsGhost · 2016-11-14T04:47:05+00:00

What's the problem here?
You're butthurt or something because you got downvoted?
Or do you think you got downvoted because it portrays a man in a good fatherly role?
Or... ummmm... yeah, no idea what the issue you're trying to convey is.
