I don't agree that all jokes have to be funny.
If it's not funny, it's not a joke. The word "Joke" is defined as something spoken, written or done with humorous intentions.
What you said is the same as saying "Not all circles have to be round".
You can joke about something, without much humour involved. On a side note, look at Cards against Humanity. Often the most laughter around the table is when someone plays the most shocking cards like Holocaust, Madeline McCann etc.
The crucial feature of CAH, is that you combine different phrases to make something ridiculous. The humor value is fairly apparent in the satirical nature of the game. It's nothing like Sluthate at all.
I do get some amusement out of some instances, for example when someone posts a redeeming thread about females and someone comments 'ER just turned in his grave'.
I guess it's one of those things where you have to be in club to get it.
Yeah, it's stupid and pointless, but SlutHate doesn't exact try and pretend to be a Yahoo answers equivalent for planned surgery patients and BDD sufferers. It's more of a place to vent, discuss looksmaxing and poke fun at stuff.
Honestly, I get that and have no problem with that. However, I think the name itself ... Sluthate ... negates your argument. The very name of the site instigates hatred, shame, prejudice and negativity. The only thing that can come of it is deep shame.
On a sidenote, I don't want to incite people too much, much it strikes me as kinda hypocritical that peole are posting stuff like 'wow, look how obsessed these SH'ers are at making fun of us' etc etc, but isn't that what KiwiFarms is all about? Making fun of internet communities?
That's not what it's about. If you look at the bottom it says what KiwiFarms is about. We make fun of internet eccentrics aka lolcows. Sluthate happens to be a community that has a majority population of lolcows and it's one of the few communities and not individuals that are made fun of here.
