oppressive jokes aren’t meant to just put down people they target. they are meant to help oppressors bond with each other.

don’t tell me it doesn’t matter to make such jokes when “there’s no one around to get offended”. don’t tell me to let it fucking slide.

i know why a man makes a misogynist joke when trying to blend into a company of other men. i know why white people make racist jokes about their coworker who is a PoC, and how it’s going to affect their work.

i know exactly what the fuck you are all doing.
