      What a bunch of humorless cods. That last sentence was put in there to affirm it's a joke.

      He even thanks someone when they point out they enjoyed his bit.

      Is it funny? No. Was its intention to troll you? (Hmm, sees it linked and highlighted on chapo.chat)

      Y'all keep taking the bait.

    racist brain can't recognize what's own specie and what's not

    the picture is supposed to make you recognize your own commonality with your ape cousins, not your difference from a racist caricature

      I recently saw someone's complain that besides from /c/main, most subs are "dead". Maybe we need to consolidate communities until growth hits a tipping point? I've wanted /c/Art since the site's inception but I'm finding a lot of success just posting on /c/main cause it's just so much more active.

      Mods need the power to move posts to the correct comm.

        Alternatively, mods need the ability to add CW to posts, so dunk tank material can be filtered out if someone doesn't want to see negative/chud content.

    why would anyone share this

    if you have to say "I'm not trying to be racist but" just don't continue the sentence

      Maybe... because they're intentionally creating a climate where they and their fellow racists can say any kind of despicable shit they want, consequence free, since it's "not racist" while simultaneously pushing the window of what's acceptable to normies further and further into blatantly racist territory? That would be my guess anyway.

        hmmm, good answer. I hadn't really considered that angle, only stupidity

          I'd bet stupidity plays a role at times too, but more often than not, when people spew that kinda shit, especially when they then try to feign innocence or ignorance, you'd better believe there's an agenda behind it.

        "How can I be racist if my family member is a black?"
        I'm labeling this as a bit to preserve my sanity, I suggest you all do the same.

    Me: Haha oooh that’s chilly little monkeys!

    Eugenicist: Well you see based on skull shape and skin tone...

    Bunch of joyless freaks, those Reddiors, who need to get tossed into a pool. This photo is cute and shows our relation with the other great apes at a primal level. That’s it. It’s a cute photo. Cut gorilla(?) baby and a cute human baby both reacting to the shock of a stethoscope and going, “fuck dudes that’s some cold metal on mah nips!”
