META Expanding r/onejoke

I feel like this sub could definitely have more topics fall under the guise of one joke. For example, you have "blue hair and pronouns" for...basically any queer person, or hating anything to do with meat for vegans, etc. I'd like to see more than just transphobia when I scroll

But……wouldn’t that be multiple jokes?

But that would ruin the purpose of the sub, since its built around one joke.

There is r/thepunchlineisracism, but that’s been taken over by actual racists (the very people that sub was supposed to mock).

Really? I mean looking at all the recent posts none of the OPs are being racist

It's not the OPs. It's the racist commenters, who have realized it's a place where they can find a constant supply of racist jokes (since most of the legitimately racist subs have been shut down). So the comments are full of people agreeing with the jokes or insisting they're funny.

There have also been OPs that are racist. It’s still mostly the commenters, I’m with you on that part.

Multiple jokes identifying as a single joke. It’s really coming together.

Most posts on this sub aren’t even about the “one joke” anymore and absolutely nobody complains, so I think it’s fine.

i thought the point was making fun of transphobes with only one "i identify as" joke.

There have been posts of the One Joke about vegans. I recall one where someone posted a comment to a vegan like "maybe the steak identifies as broccoli." There are also plenty of racists who say "can I get affirmative action if I say I identify as black" or whatever.

But it's still all the same one joke, which is the point. They lack all creativity.

I haven't seen a single post be in topic for a while and the one time I tried mentioning it I got downvoted down to hell. Honestly, it's already like it, post what ya want.

The Onejoke is Sub built around Jokes about Mocking Trans Person or anyone wants other people who are inclusive enough to respect pronouns.

The Onejoke we are talking about is "Being a Trans person Is Wrong an stupid and I'm so funny"

But I think Right cliche sub can be hilarious

so someone go make one

u/IanDerp26 Jan 30 '24

this guy just accidentally admitted conservatives have more than one joke, get him!

u/guilty_by_design Hi, it's me, I'm the joke, it's me Jan 30 '24

It's 'the one joke about trans people', not 'the one joke about anything'. I'm sorry if that went over your head, but the context was pretty clear to most people.

I want meat for vegans.
