Just an observation ive made. I encounter one of those types every so often and usually just block them

    It's not edgy at all, it's literally just the most distilled down way to satirize that particular idea. "Edgy" stuff doesn't have a pointed critique attached to it. It's just meant to be offensive or shocking for it's own sake.

    Shinzo saying "Have Sex" while fading into the sunset isn't just funny because he's saying "Sex" it's funny because it reminds you of his nationalist hyper natalist philosophy and at the same time mocks his inability to accomplish those goals.

    The only "edgy" stuff here is really contained within the badposting comm and that's more of a meta bit where the very real context attached to these sorts of memes is dissolved and replaced with nothing.

    On a different note I can see how that style of telling that message can be convoluted, but trying to remove the context and say it's just "old man says sex" and that's all it's meant to be is not correct.

      i think youre trying a bit too hard to explain to me why this is funny, i still think its stupid. Sorry pal

      it just rubs me as 'haha old east asian man talking about sex' if its not, i dont really care. This stuff is generally just not funny to me, and when it is, its from the chapos or somebody else whos done it better and not just aping somebody else.
