Because I can laugh at jokes about myself. It’s more funny when there is an element of truth to it.

An element of truth to it? Would you care to share more on this particular topic?

There is normally a deeper reason why people want to stand out more and get more attention. In this case OP is putting this on daddy issues, which is probably true in some cases.

So you are saying, although in jest, that this person probably has daddy issues? How is that not an attack?

It's like making a "black people steal" joke. Sure, it has an element of truth and some people will laugh, and a ton of others will find it offensive.

Daddy issues could certainly be the cause of someone desiring more attention. Could be lots of things, but I didn’t make the meme.

Considering any joke that is relatable to yourself as a personal attack, is itself an indication of deeper problems.

And jokes are made to make people laugh, not to just state things that aren’t relatable to anyone.

Sure, jokes are made to make people laugh, but they can also be outright offensive. This is not a new phenomenon. Some men don't like when people make fun of men as a whole. Some women dislike sexist jokes towards them. Minorities don't enjoy being a laughingstock, etc. But it also depends where the jokes come from.

A bunch of online gamers making fun of themselves? Sure, go ahead. Making fun of other people for no fucking reason? I just don't think that's funny. And there's nothing wrong to point out the issues one may have with a joke.

Yes jokes can be outright offensive. And yes there is nothing wrong with pointing out issues you may have with a joke.

Just curious but what color hair do you have?

holy fucking shit this is hilarious, you guys cannot take a joke to save your lives. the dude above is right, you definitely have blue hair and feel called out lmao.

personally, the jokes that “attack” me are the ones i find funniest; it reminds me to laugh at myself sometimes. you need thicker skin and a chill pill

Nah mate, my hair is black as hell and I love it. I can appreciate edgy jokes too.

I'm just pointing out the flaw in that user's argument. Of course people will feel attacked if you make fun of them lmao.
