I know it wasn't directed at me I just didn't find it funny and it seemed more like an attack at someone who'd seemed to have just started making an effort to be decent, and I was concerned it was gonna fuck everything up after the atmosphere had got nicer again.
And yeah, I have got over it, that's what I was saying. I was just sharing how I can empathize with virgins and I don't see what's funny about taking the piss out of someone for it just as I don't see what's funny about taking the piss out of someone for being overweight, or homosexual or anything else. And the "Joke" also seemed to lack substance.
If you had said "If he was overweight that would be so ironic" or "if he was a homosexual that would be so ironic" or "if he was actually female that would be so ironic" or "if he was a sex addict that would be so ironic" or "if he was black that would be so ironic" I wouldn't find it funny, and I don't see how it being "virgin" that you said makes it any more funny. The "joke" itself lacks substance.
I mean I'm sorry I didn't find the "joke" amusing and I found it offensive. Surely you expect someone to be offended since you say someone is always going to be offended? So with all due respect, get over it
Well, of course it wouldn't have been ironic as it wasn't the overweight, homosexuals or anyone other group he was railing against. it was women. Which is why my light hearted poke of fun was made about him being a virgin.....which would have been wonderfully ironic were it to be true.
I don't honestly care whether you found it amusing or not mate, honestly. That isn't to be nasty or horrible, it's just the way of humour. Some people will chortle, some won't. Some will choose to take offence, some won't.
I ain't the one complaining dude, I'm about as over it as a man can be. :-)
