I tried it a few times recently when I’ve been down in the trenches of shitposting and it is very funny to make them try to explain their argument to you as if you have no idea what they’re saying. It’s so easy to bait them into thinking they’re about to bring up this amazing dunk about how China banned Winnie the Pooh or whatever and win you over, and then you get to just tell them that’s not true because you just looked it up plus now it feels racist.

What is this boomer cartoon?

So this Pooh character is like a nice and friendly bear that happens to have yellow fur and wear a red shirt. What are you trying to imply boomer?

Wait so you’re saying he looks like China’s president, and that’s a bad thing? Or is just teasing him I guess? I dont really get it… You said it’s banned in China but I just looked that up and its not true, so what is this all about again?

No no I mean I like the bear, I think it’s cute but I just don’t get the comparison or the point of making the comparison. I don’t really think China’s president is cute like that I guess…

This picture is banned in China? I don’t think so, he’s just a cartoon bear and I’ve seen plenty of pictures of bears in China before. I mean maybe I’m just missing something in your comparison. Do you mean like how America is an eagle and Russia is a brown bear? Maybe you meant to say you’re thinking of a panda bear or something?

Oh you think it’s because this bear cartoon drawing looks like the president of China and that’s funny? Can you explain please, because I don’t really think I get the joke or the comparison? Tbh it feels weird that you picked a cartoon character with yellow skin though :/

It took me well into adulthood to realize that I was indeed making people laugh by being literally autistic and doing this exact thing by accident.

Coworker apparently obviously complaining that the weather outside is unpleasant to him: “Good god sure is some great weather we are having, huh?”

Me (autistic), who is enjoying the weather: “Yeah it’s beautiful out today. I might eat my lunch outside!” :)

Coworker: “HA that’s great! Me too! I’ll see you out there.”

Me: “Oh nice! Alright see you later!”

Doing it irl gets people either confused you’re not as brainwashed as them, or they get extra mad and they think you’re baiting them into saying something more racist or unhinged. Really funny stuff.

Racist and unhinged people will say something more racist or unhinged anyway because that is how they are as a person

I might not be an expert on the male anatomy, but I don’t think poo comes out of the wiener, could you elaborate more about the wiener poos being talked about?
