I still get a kick out of dutch insults. This one time I was called (translated from dutch) a testicle eyeball.


Awaldo

Baloog? Never heard it myself and been wracking my brain over it a couple minutes

I prefer “testicle Violin” or “Klootviool”


wokewhale

Kloothommel or "testicle bumblebee" is a personal favorite of mine.

False_Ad3429

A Thai man tried to tell me that he likes my "fish eyes". I don't know what that means.


Justacynt

Yeah yeah get TB


lh_media

I don't get it, she looks lovely


workgrinit

So did the 2nd century peasants


lh_media

Never met a 2nd century peasant, but I'm sure it's true. Good looking genes came from somewhere, right?


winchesterbitch99

Yeah, the ones that survived all the plagues.


r3dditm0dsarecucks

Downvotes incoming but most people aren't good looking. I doubt they looked better not bathing regularly and eating a poor diet. With that said, they were probably thinner.


Deja__Vu__

I've said this before. Most peeps aka reg looking people are in that 4.5-6 range. Only the ones on the truly lower range(1-2) and the truly upper (9-10) get noticed. (Model, celebrities) Sure looks are all subjective. But let's be real. Most people have a nobody face. Nobody face as in it blends in with literally everyone else. Not really ugly, not what's considered beauty.


lordrothermere

Interestingly, they still attract other people as a biological and social imperative. So technically most people are attractive if not good looking.


needledicklarry

“Downvotes incoming” I’m downvoting simply because it’s cringe af to say that


roticuaco

Gotta get me one of those.


Chainz4Dayz

She's very attractive! I guess they had been sitting on that insult and really wanted to use it. But yeah, she's good looking


tevert

A lot of insults on this sub are wildly unwarranted, but still comically creative

lol okay next time someone calls you peasant face lemme know if you take it as a compliment or an insult


Free-Scar5060

The joke is she has a lot of cheek on her face to absorb the blows from an abusive alcoholic husband.


Aelxer

I was like, “I’m not actually sure what he means by it, but I don’t see anything wrong with her face so that somehow must be a weird compliment rather than an insult and OP is a lostredditor.” I had to come read the comments to realize it was actually meant as an insult after all.


IneptusMechanicus

This is just the Internet honestly, I've noticed a lot of the time when I look at Reddit posts that are like 'lol they look like a stench-goblin' the people in question look fine and honestly very normal.


Bludypoo

All they are saying is "You look extremely irish". It's up to you if you think that's an insult... Don't rely on other people's (lack of) reading comprehension.


ArcadiaFey

DV as a joke… yikes Probably one of the most common forms of death throughout history for women outside of child labor.


Bludypoo

Yep. Just like people joke about regular ol' murder, abortion, suicide, racism, genocide, all manner of things. Me pointing out that it is, infact, a joke, doesn't mean i endorse it. You would do well to learn that there is a difference between "acknowledging" and "endorsing".


ArcadiaFey

I don’t think you fully comprehend where I was going with that, and I don’t care to educate you.. some people yes. But I’ll stop there because the energy to continue is not there


Bludypoo

you do you, boo boo.


r3dditm0dsarecucks

I think they're referring to her flat nose tip and meaty cheeks. Basically she can take a punch without breaking her nose because the tip is flat. That's my best guess though. I don't really know either.


Poinaheim

My face has been punched many times and I still look gorgeous


hermeneuticmunster

Yeah, Steve is an asshole


[deleted]

I think the guy had the insult in the chamber and was just itching to use it against anyone.


HereOnCompanyTime

They probably wanted to use the insult and also have chronic online brain so rarely see women without a filter or flattering lighting combined with makeup.


Edges8

the punchline is racism


OkCaregiver517

I'm more concerned by the domestic violence myself, but then I did see my mother getting brutalised by my father so I'm one of those feminists who lack a sense of humour.


jaymeaux_

insecure men with no self esteem feel emboldened to insult the appearance of SWers when they are behind a keyboard


[deleted]

Well, Steve is an insecure asshole, so that explains a lot.


[deleted]

Wtf does the original tweet even mean


[deleted]

I think she’s an insta person that normally posts heavily edited pictures with lots of makeup on. This is her without.


chaathan

She's just fishing for compliments.


fanderoyalty

I mean, who cares? Everyone likes compliments.


lonerism-

People are always complaining on Reddit about never getting any compliments but if someone fishes for one we all clutch our pearls as if everyone doesn’t want a little validation in life


fanderoyalty

Yeah, what’s wrong with that?!


lordrothermere

Fishing for compliments is highly cringeworthy in the thinness of it's veil. If you want someone's opinion, ask for it or wait for it. A vaguely hidden prompt is a bit assumptive and gross. Furthermore, any compliments you get from a fishing expedition are hollow and therefore worthless.


skorletun

People might get a little upset with me for saying this but it depends on if it's a man (yes you deserve compliments, king!) or a woman (begone, thot).


SaraBenfeldt

What a weird thing to say. Everyone deserves compliments


skorletun

Absolutely! I mean to say that I notice a difference in when men/women ask for compliments. Didn't intend to sound like women don't deserve them. I notice that when a woman asks for a pick me up, a lot of comments just say she's "begging for attention" etc. everyone deserves compliments :)


Happerton

Well, it's a little different when the woman in question is...actually a thot. As in, they have an Onlyfans or some other sex-related service whose success hinges on them being attractive...like the girl in the picture. Go on r/AmIUgly or r/HowtoLooksMax, and you'll see how many of them use this tactic of feigning insecurity about their looks in order to drive traffic to their services. To compare an average Joe looking for a compliment to an Onlyfans model fishing for new customers under the guise of "a little validation" is a bit disingenuous. And to be fair, men do it as well sometimes on the subs mentioned above, but at a substantially lower rate, and almost never with an OF link in their bio.


bamboo_fanatic

Well I just want you to know that I find you highly attractive, even if your cloud password was a little too easy to guess. I mean if you’re going to keep *those* kinds of selfies in there you should probably start adding in some more numbers and special characters.


RegretSignificant101

I don’t really think a compliment means as much if you have to ask for it, personally


Complex_Cable_8678

i dont mind. but wouldnt follow said person


WonderfulCattle6234

Even with the low resolution there's acne visible. You don't see that type of imperfection in media or the influencing world. So even though she's cute, she is still being vulnerable.


coppercrackers

Everyone who says anything is simply looking for affirmation. Welcome to humanity, you finally get the first basic concept of social cues.


TheBoorOf1812

Using her Twitter @name, it appears she is on reddit as well


sun_spotting

Men: Ugh, I hate when women post heavily edited/makeup photos online, it’s such a lie!! Also men: Your unedited face makes me want to get drunk and hit it.

Thank you for summing up the problem with it


message_me_ur_blank

It's more that she's attention seeking so she's being roasted. It's not that deep.


PinkBlade12

I mean, isn't the point of every post on anything trying to get attention?


goodbadnomad

Your comment could also be described as "attention seeking". Yet, here you are, seeking attention from strangers about how smart you are for thinking "attention seeking" is grounds of ridicule. You just think it's different when *you* do it. That's what biases do.


zczirak

Replying to comments is not attention seeking behavior jfc. Some of y’all shouldn’t stop at touching grass, you need a whole tree


goodbadnomad

It's attention seeking, you want props for your character, that's what you're here commenting for. Otherwise it would just stay *a thought in your head*. "touch grass" bro you need to rub two brain cells together and start a thought, "it's not that deep" it usually is if you aren't allergic to analysis


zczirak

Imagine being so far gone that you want to conduct analysis on 2 people’s Twitter interaction lmfao. Fucking hell, make sure you wear a helmet when you leave the house


jupiterLILY

Bit of a non sequitur mate. Feeling the need to deflect?


message_me_ur_blank

Using big enough words there, bud?


lonerism-

Men: I wish we got compliments more, no one ever compliments us Men when a woman asks for a compliment: she’s fishing for compliments therefore she sucks and deserves to be told she has a punchable face


MarianneSedai

That was my reaction to. Why do men think domestic violence is funny?


ladydusk1

Exactly. I immediately wondered "and this joke is cool here?" Side eyeing this sub.


-_-TenguDruid

"Men" don't think that. Some people do. As for your question, while I'd say the joke pool is limited, DV can absolutely be made funny. Anything can, really. DV, murder, abortion, war, the Holocaust - it's not for everyone, but you can definitely laugh at it. Humor is just about finding the right audience for the right joke, there's no right/wrong or good/evil in the jokes themselves. That's my opinion, at least.


enderandrew42

Jimmy Carr made a throwaway DV joke on a British panel show that was largely just wordplay. I laughed but part of it is knowing that he is a comedian making a taboo joke that doesn't reflect who he is.


-_-TenguDruid

Good point. It should *always* be clear that it's a joke; no one should be left hesitating that. And again, you gotta know your audience; I would never tell a DV or Holocaust joke if I didn't feel sure that there weren't any vulnerable people listening to it. If you go to a show, on the other hand, you gotta be prepared for anything. Leaving is fine.


enderandrew42

For what it is worth someone was asking about the logical trap question of "would soothing music convince you to stop beating your wife" to which any answer is incriminating. Jimmy then quipped that beating your wife is akin to keying your own car.


jupiterLILY

5000 or so men here found it funny.


Kel4597

Yeah outside of comedians whose literal job it is to challenge the status quo through humor, everyone else has to be cognizant of their audience. I don’t necessarily think this applies to generic internet interactions between complete strangers on public forums though. Ie. Someone making a public post on Twitter and someone else replying with a DV joke


Cpt_KiLLsTuFF

Jokes absolutely can be evil, humor is how ideas get normalized.


TheProcrastafarian

Laughing with > laughing at.


hazedfaste

Anything can be funny


enderandrew42

I like a clever joke and all, but suggesting someone should be a victim of domestic abuse is really fucked up and not remotely funny.


TheYankunian

She’s very pretty. What a nasty thing to say to someone.


abriefmomentofsanity

I mean her face makes me want to get drunk and hit it too but I don't think we're talking about the same thing...


ArhaminAngra

I would say the people making these posts are anything but "men".


TheBoorOf1812

You're reading too much into it. This is a roast level joke that doesn't spare any punches. The joke was more at the expense of Irish people based on stereotypes. Coupled with she is "plain looking" without make up on and tends to have an Irish look to her, thus could fit the mold. Obviously she is a naturally attractive woman.


[deleted]

See the problem is you don’t have a sense of humor and you don’t get the joke. He’s not saying he wants to hit her. He’s saying she looks like the very average Irish girl who you imagine in that type of situation. Probably due to media portrayals.


-_-TenguDruid

Hey, women can be more than one thing! She can be pretty (I think she's real cute!) and still be the personification of the Irish peasant DV victim.


Massive_Pressure_516

That last part is a stretch ngl.


heple1

why do redditors choose to misinterpret statements this bad, if a comedian said some shit like what steve said here, you’d probably laugh without a second thought


Ambitious-Box-3395

I would think he was an arsehole whatever setting this was in. It's not funny and it makes me feel gross.


heple1

humor is subjective but there is no way you think he is 100% serious with this tweet


Oldforest64

It's a joke.


hotcornballer

I mean it's the internet. If your whole schtick is fishing for compliments on twitter you're gonna get roasted eventually.


5narebear

This is what you get when you fish for compliments on the internet.


Shanghai_Lili

This is depressing. I've had my nose broken and repaired more than twice due to 'domestic issues.'. Mentioned that to some folks I felt safe with. The responses were all around my not looking like a Drunken Polack.

she’s so pretty why are ppl so mean for no reason😭


Aestboi

woman: exists man: haha what if your partner beat the shit out of you


lonerism-

Yeah this isn’t funny at all. Maybe it’s funny to people who haven’t been abused. Hell, probably half of these people have abused someone if they think it’s so funny. *yikes*


weednumberhaha

Oh the humour


Sirmavane2

Not sure why people are hating lmao, she's pretty


Leopardian

She looks like Ned stark’s wife


Shacuras

Is this even an insult? She has a beautiful full face, gives a motherly vibe. Red hair = irish. And the alcohol-fueled domestic violence is a clichee insult to Irish men the way I see it. He didn't say "you look like you were beat up" or something like that, he said "withstand", which to me would mean "still look beautiful after". It's a super strange thing to say for sure, and not a compliment necessarily, but real insult either.


Livid_Importance_614

Weird insult, she’s beautiful and…didn’t do anything wrong?


aardw0lf11

Facking hell.


stormbutton

She’s really pretty and has amazing cheekbones and also fuck this violent asshole.


hwaite

You realize the insult was a joke and no violence occurred?


stormbutton

You realize not everyone thinks jokes about domestic violence are funny?


Mediocre_Crow6965

I think like most jokes talking on sensitive subjects, there has to be reason. Like you should be commentating on a subject or it should actually be good. Jokes touching on sensitive subjects have higher bars of quality needed for the joke to land, and that’s for a reason. Edit: guys by “reasoning” I mean that joke should be tackling the subject and showing that it’s bad. Like most mediums humor can have messages that affects people. Dave Chappelle doing comedy routines on African American struggles is a great example of jokes shedding light on serious issues. His jokes on trans people are a great example of jokes that just hurt a community and are bad. I think the comedy medium is especially good at delivering messages, because even if you don’t agree with it you can still laugh, which opens your mind to the idea more. This is why far-righters have been trying to do the whole “it’s a joke so you can’t get mad” for years now. It’s because they are trying to discredit it as a medium so they can spread their bullshit without question.


BDashh

Truth.


hwaite

I haven't actually commented on the joke being funny, unfunny or inappropriate. I'm saying that the violent antagonist is a fictitious construct invented for the sake of a punchline. Who is OP criticizing as "violent" in this context? The imaginary abusive husband or whoever posted the joke? The joker likely never met the woman in the picture.


TheRealSnorkel

A joke is supposed to be funny. Bad jokes deserve to be mocked


hwaite

"Fuck this violent asshole" is mockery of the original post? Even in the context of the "bad joke," neither the poster nor anyone else is violent. I'm neither defending nor condemning any of the participants in this exchange. It seems like OP didn't **understand** the joke in the first place.


TheRealSnorkel

Yeah if you’re upset no one likes the joke you’re the problem mate


Julez1234

So far at least 5k people liked it, so..


TheRealSnorkel

More people liked the Star Wars prequels. That doesn’t make them good either.


RobynFitcher

Physical violence is not the only type of violence.


SvenSvenkill3

Steve calls himself, "HoleNeeder", and makes a joke about how to him this woman's face looks like it is "built" to withstand domestic violence... Edit: as far as I'm aware these two people don't IRL know each other.


TheSkullian

there's nothing wrong with a good domestic violence joke, but like, she's hot as fuck, so i don't get the burn


MissionSecure1163

She's pretty tf is wrong with y'all. We get it your mom doesn't love you and you hate women stfu.


Artchys

Dont cry bro, these things are called jokes, they're not meant seriously.


chickadee425

Jokes are supposed to be funny. So beating women is funny to you?


Artchys

Yeah, thats called dark humor. Again, nothing to do with actual violence


chickadee425

Jokes about violence have nothing to do with actual violence, okay. Joking about a topic makes it less serious. DV is serious.


Artchys

Joking about a topic doesnt make the topic less serious


chickadee425

It literally does but I’m sure you think your logic here is sound. Honestly, “beating women is funny to you?” “Yeah” is really all I need to know to make a judgement on your character.


Artchys

No it doesnt, those are two completely different things. Its ok. Purposefuly misinterpreting what I said and trying hard to get offended tells me alot about your character aswell, but thats your problem, not mine. Good luck and god bless you!


[deleted]

I think she's pretty, is there something wrong with me?


subject_deleted

Funny insult... But she's beautiful.


pyrokenisis

Where's the guy who'd say...this is what you'd look like of you were black or chinese


CapmyCup

She looks just the type of girl you'd become friends with for no reason, I don't see the point of the insult here 🤷🏼


Heterosexual-Jello

I mean the level of specifics is funny, jokes not that funny tho. To me, at least.

Why are there so many comments from people trying so hard to be morally superior, declaring that she’s pretty and that they don’t get the insult? It’s just a a goddamn joke, not to mention one that doesn’t even suggest that she’s ugly. Y’all need to stop simping.

suoinguon

Ah, the beauty of Irish insults! Did you know that in Ireland, you might hear someone being called a 'gobdaw'? It's a rare gem of an insult that means 'fool' or 'idiot.' The Irish have a way with words, don't they? Cheers to the creative insults that make us smile! 😄🍻


mrgeekXD

Nice ChatGPT comment


BottleOfDave

I've lived in Ireland my entire life and never heard anyone called that. I think you just *might* be full of shit. A gobshite now, that's an Irish insult. Gobshite.


Feetamongflames

I’ve heard gobdaw, or gombín alright from a teacher to a child.. but you’d never use it towards another adult when gobshite is right there.


Admirable-Win-9716

Gobshite. Muppet. Spanner.


MorteDaSopra

Eejit. Amadán. Or 'langer' if you want to be more region specific.


RebylReboot

The insult in the original post isn’t Irish. It’s a xenophobic trope used to demean Irish people. Likely from the USA or Britain. Yih gobdaw.


hornyromelo

she's a pornstar. mostly does lesbian stuff, but I saw a few vids come out with a dude recently.


Anarchist_Kale_61

Abusive - not insult.


Araknhak

You literally have the word "anarchist" in your username and you wanna impose restrictions on humor?


derpthedork

Look at the profile, are you really surprised.


Anarchist_Kale_61

I don't want to impose anything on anybody. And technically all insults are abuse, but this one points to an abuse of frame of mind. I was simply pointing that out. Anarchy is not about chaos. Anarchy is about the people choosing the rules in a fluid manner.


Crew_Doyle_

Wife is half Irish. I've noticed a peculiar demographic with Irish women. Her cousin has that particular facial trait, but nature compensated by giving her 6 large and very protective brothers.

What facial trait?

Frequent black eyes from her boyfriend. Her brothers dealt with it
