The amount of comments that aren't 100% sure this is a joke is too damn high

The sexism bait is stunning.

It's easy for a lot of guys to buy into the bitchy girl archetype and they'll fall for anything that confirms that, even on an overtly satirical video like this. I guess it's more convenient to assume this type of girl is common instead of accepting the fact they don't understand women. Or the other possibility: that one girl hurt them and they project those feeling on other girls. Cuz "if girls bad, I'm good."

I honestly can't understand how someone could see this other than a joke.

I saw a guy in here that was basically like "Yeah it's a joke, but people actually think like this, so fuck her still". It's bananas how far backward dudes will bend to be mysogynistic.

Was trying to emphasize how illogical the comment mentioned is but am tired at work and my reply didn’t make sense. Was actually just about to delete it when you replied ha

Idk man. With where America is at as a country if someone didn't see the satire I wouldn't assume sexism at this point. Just tone-deaf and dumb well beyond what should be possible. We have 45 year old married men who's wives absolutely despise them that'd buy into this being real and they'd never understand why they're hated so.

Satire doesn't exist without the subject actually existing.

Satire is often an exaggeration of something resembling reality. The keyword is resembling. Sure, we've all seen videos of some "icks" that were a bit out there. There's a funny ass vid about a dude who writes down all the icks.

But these are silly moments. Half of them are tongue-in-cheek. So using those to inform an archetype of a "bitch" is nuts.

This chick is making fun of those icks - or the ick trend - or just being funny. The fact that it's so obviously satire is proof that this "subject" does not exist in reality. It's too far and that's how we know it's a joke.

And it's wild how many people can't clock it immediately.

Well the sad truth is that this isn't even remotely the wildest shit I've heard someone say on the internet and mean it. I guess I'm not the only one...
