minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish0•9 months agoEh, I find it pretty distasteful towards Aboriginal people by insinuating such an important cultural instrument is a shallow blowjob joke.
minus-square@GraphylinkEnglish7•9 months agoI can get that but I feel like it’d have the same effect with like a trumpet.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish-10•9 months agoSure but as far as I’m aware, a trumpet isn’t an important spiritual and cultural object whereas a didgeridoo is. Kinda like how a baseball cap isn’t the same as a war bonnet despite both being worn on your head.
minus-square@GraphylinkEnglish9•9 months ago by insinuating such an important cultural instrument is a shallow blowjob joke. Your original implies the instrument itself is the joke but I’m saying anything he’s tooting on in this instance would’ve been hilarious. Idk this just feels like one of those things you gotta laugh about because the main topic is so fucked.

minus-squareAltolinkfedilink1•9 months agoHumors a pretty common response to awful situations. It’s a useful coping tool as the world continues to go to shit around us.
minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilinkEnglish1•9 months agoYou got me wondering about whether anyone might be disturbed by a racy joke about CDJs (those decks where DJs turn knobs to play electronic music).
