In this video, PewDiePie dissed T-Series, an Indian music video channel that is also the second most subscribed-to YouTube channel, behind Felix himself of course. Pretenses relating to relevancy aside, he obviously made this as a joke. Just look at the title.

Go down to the comments, and you will quickly realize something: Indians who've watched the video did not catch that it was a joke.

This got the ol' noggin joggin. Why are Indians so sensitive to jokes they're the butt of?

Something similar happened on /int/. If you remember, a single thread on /int/ was the birthing ground of the "Designated Shitting Streets" meme. An angry Pajeet tried numerous times to shit (lol) on Australian shitposters, only to be blown the fuck out by the end of it. The poor boy got extremely butthurt.


A similar comparison can be made when h3h3Productions commented on T-Series, joking about how one of the men in their music videos looked like a janitor. As you can imagine, the Pajeets in the comments got very, very mad. Their rage has no end.

So, why does this happen? Could it only specific to T-Series fans, or is this a more general issue among Indians?

Not to :powerlevel: too much, but I've had a fair amount of experience with Indians or even Chinese from India and China (as opposed to generational immigrants), respectively. Sarcasm is not something they understand, at least, not in English. One of the engineers I know was in the states for almost 10 years before he started to understand sarcasm. Same with some Chinese technicians and engineers I knew. It could be because English is the hardest language to learn because of all of its nuances, or so i'm told, and they don't understand the tone shift of your voice. You might notice Indians do not speak in a lot of varied tones, which is integral to getting sarcastic humor.

TL;DR: It's cultural and linguistic difference.

So they grasp humour about as well as they program
 
Really though: what's the difference between an incel and a thirsty social media Indian?

Why is one funny and the other is just pathetic?

I know the broken English is part of it, but there has to be more to it than that.
 
These are also the people who flip out if they order a pizza and you don't put enough pineapple on with the onion and jalapeños. And you better have packets of cheelee flakes.

Remember that India still has a pretty rigid caste system and "unskilled laborers" are basically lower than dirt in their eyes. When Indians move to other countries, they stick in neighborhoods of mostly other Indians, to the point where an entire apartment building permanently smells of curry (not exactly a terrible thing tbh) and carry that classism with them as well. You think America has a huge wealth gap? Well, it does, and Indians love that. And how dare a non-brown person imply that maybe, just maybe, some parts of other cultures aren't compatible elsewhere?!

I mean, I can totally understand a country that shrugged off their forceful colonizers not too long ago having a strong sense of nationalistic pride nowadays, but geez the discovery of indoor plumbing does not a superior nation make.

For the record, though, I've yet to see even Social Media Indians screaming about racism. :optimistic:

This is really accurate. A lot of Asian countries don't do sarcasm and don't find it funny at all. It doesn't translate well to them.
 

Now that the formalities are out the way, basically india's online presence is what happens when a billion medieval minded street shitters are given unrestrained and unfiltered access to the global internet. They take all their ultra conservative repressed upbringing with them and get just straight up religiously obsessed with dumb shit (and ofcourse the holy bobs and sacred vagene)
