Sexist Jokes allowed?

[HotelUser]

I don't pretend to know forum rules or anything but I thought this thread was kind of harsh: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=624979

I guess it's allowed because there's not really a rule against sexist jokes (apparently). I know it's a joke and everything but I think in this situation it was taken too far, surly threads like that shouldn't be tolerated :P

[Alkaz]

Im not sure about this but I am sure Oli or Matt or someone would verify but to me I think its just making a joke of the old stereotype of women.

[Hecktix]

It's a joke. It's not serious at all so nobody can really take offence at it with valid reason.

Jokes are made about everything within society and sexist jokes are probably some of the most commonly used, purely because of the fact it's natural to have the sort of men V women vibe.

In our Philosophy class we often make sexist comments and the girls play along and get us back.

We don't allow sick/inappropriate jokes at Habbox Forum but imo there is absolutely nothing wrong with a sexist joke, it's not as if he's being serious :S :S :S

[HotelUser]

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

Nothing, you already told her twice.



That's seriously an acceptable joke?

[Hecktix]

It's not as though he's being serious at all.

90% of the women I know wouldn't find that offensive unless it wasn't a joke.

No but I can avoid the filter and say I wasn't being serious? And it's Scott. He was probably being serious.

[Hecktix]

I fail to see that Scott's true belief is that to tell a woman something means to give her a black eye.

[Nixt]

It's a joke. We allow jokes that may, to an extent, be vulgar or distasteful (remember Kerry Katona, Michael Jackson etc?). That is the point of a joke, they intend to make people laugh and they aren't serious. As long as they aren't deliberately aimed at someone or are excessively vulgar, they are fine.

Besides, women won't mind... they're too busy in the kitchen and looking after the children to complain about sexist jokes!

[HotelUser]

I fail to see that Scott's true belief is that to tell a woman something means to give her a black eye.

Regardless of Scott's unique morals I'm still saying such jokes are offensive even if you say "90% of girls aren't offended" (not quite entirely sure that's even true), I think Habbox should be more mature than to make such sexist comments/jokes(H)

Lovin' it babes.
I asked 5 women if they were offended by the jokes within that thread.

They all said no :)

So why wouldn't allow something that's not causing any harm?

[Black_Apalachi]

Even though I agree they're just jokes, I was wondering how long it would take for someone to make this thread lol. I wouldn't have been surprised if those kind of threads were closed on this kind of forum but I'm glad the mods don't feel it is necessary. At least Garion is taking it all seriously though :badgrin:

[Lindsey]

Hmmm, lets hear a Girls Opinion..


Well, I think it is well rude to be posting stereotypes and sexist jokes on the forum. because some people can take them very offensively , Because on that thread that David posted, I being a female think it is very uncalled for, saying ; Why is the forest doing in the kitchen. I understand that it is just a joke. But Some people might take it the wrong way. In Canada their are many Male Chefs. So I think it shouldn't be tolerated, but thats just my opinion.

[hah]

glad to see no women replied to this thread ;l in the kitchen where they belong


LOL its a joke, you obv targeting scott because you probably have an (Habbo related)issue with him at them moment or something

edit; fgs april ;l get back to the kitchen

[wixard]

i actually got really offended by this and it has upset me in many different ways

graham *** you said you went bed, you didnt even wish me happy birthday
some friend you are, you can forget about being set up with matthew

[Nixt]

You can post as many male related jokes as you want, they won't bother me (because I know we're superior).

In all seriousness though, enforcing a rule against such jokes would just be ridiculous. People moan about leniency and then want us to get well strict! People make this jokes all the time, and as long as they are good natured and aimed at having a laugh I don't see what the problem is at all.

None, it should be opened when she brings it to you.

[Hecktix]

The jokes are there to make people laugh, not at others expense or anything.

They have no point other than to give you a giggle, they aren't serious and they are not making any points about sexism.

It's pretty obvious a lot of guys will disagree with this because the jokes aren't aimed at them. They are rude jokes, they are offending people, such behaviour is beneath Habbox forum users.

People make jokes about men being stupid all the time, too. It's commonplace in Britain for such jokes, and women don't mind... so I don't see what the problem is.

There's clearly a lot more sexist jokes directed at woman, and there's more guys on the forum than girls, which doesn't help the situation.

It's really rather endearing that you want to stand up for the ladies, but I genuinely think 99% of them don't really mind.

[Nicola]

I honestly don't get offended because I know that they are jokes. They are pretty much just something that I just roll my eyes at now, they're getting old anyways. That's only my opinion though, not all of us are going to be the same.

If someone is being deadly serious and their "joke" has gotten to the extent where it's completely inappropriate and vulgar and it's been aimed at someone on the forum, then yes, do something about it.

[Lindsey]

What happened to the father? the mother doesn't do it all, .. and there are men who are chefs as well.. so it is very wrong for you to be saying these things, its setting a bad example for people.

I agree with that, mostly Guys run this forum. which means there is no girl input with i believe there should be, because this is very rude and shouldn't be allowed.

Like, "An english man, an irish man and a scottish man walk into a bar...."

An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotsman were sitting in a bar, drinking, and discussing how stupid their wives were. The Englishman says, "I tell you, my wife is so stupid. Last week she went to the supermarket and bought £250 worth of meat because it was on sale, and we don't even have a fridge to keep it in." The Scotsman agrees that she sounds pretty thick, but says his wife is thicker. "Just last week, she went out and spent £17,000 on a new car," he laments, "and she doesn't even know how to drive!" The Irishman nods sagely, and agrees that these two woman sound like they both walked through the stupid forest and got hit by every branch. However, he still thinks his wife is dumber. "Ah, it kills me every toime oi tink of it," he chuckles. "Moy woife just left to go on a holiday in Greece. Oy watched her packing her bag, and she must have put about 100 condoms in there. And she doesn't even have a penis!"

2 people said it doesn't offend, one says it does :P

I was joking, I'm not enforcing the belief at all. It's a joke and should be taken as one. I'm studying sociology, so I do not need to be given a lecture on how the role of the male is changing - I already know. Stereotypes are the basis of jokes.

The only reason why i am offended it because I am strongly against sexist people.. , I have seen them so much in my life, i cannot stand them. So i am sorry for posting what I did , but I don't allow it , I really don't . That is just my opinion and no one can change it .

David, Racism isnt accepted in society and is illegal.

[scottish]

lady made several attempts to sell her old car.
She was having a lot of problems finding a buyer
because the car had 340,000 miles on it. She
discussed her problem with a friend that she
worked with at a bar.

The friend suggested, 'There may be a chance to
sell that car easier, but it's not going to be legal.'

'That doesn't matter at all,' replied the lady.
'All that matters it that I am able to sell this car.'

'Alright,' replied the her friend. In a quiet voice, she
told the lady: 'Here is the address of a friend of
mine. He owns a car repair shop around here. Tell
him I sent you, and he will turn the counter back
on your car to 40,000 miles. Then it shouldn't be
a problem to sell your car.'

The following weekend, the lady took a trip to the
mechanic on her friend's advice.

About one month after that, the friend saw the lady
and asked, 'Did you sell your car?'

'No!' replied the lady. 'Why should I? It only has
40,000 miles on it.'

I regularly watch stand up comedians who makes jokes about people based on their race / origin. Most comedians do. Tony Scott, a comedian in Benidorm who I find hilarious is racist, sexist and also makes jokes about people based on their area (Scousers are thieves, or whatever). That is just how jokes work.

In regard to Aprilshower saying that about gays. If someone turn around and said "being gay is bad" then yeah, that's not necessarily a nice thing to say. However I regularly crack jokes about how much I hate gays (lets face it they are almost always *****!!)... but wait, I'm gay myself!?

[HotelUser]

It's laughing at the expense of people who have done absolutely nothing wrong, and you're stereotyping them. Have some class man.

I'm not sure, Oli. If guys are alone they might make a sexual joke or whatever (not saying that's right) but seriously saying it around girls and people it offends that's just beyond appalling.

[,Lexiilu]

I got directed to this forum so I'm going to post.

I think its incredibly immature to post these types of jokes. maybe its because I'm not exactly a 'jokey' person but whatever. it's 100% IMMATURE. thats also including ginger jokes, irish/scouser/american/canadian jokes, etc.

I think its stupid and it is a little discriminative, but we all know that not everyone's going to stop. true, females do get our fair share of male jokes, but on this forum, not even close. the male population is far more than female here. if you get pleasure out of it, I think its ridiculous personally. Girls already have low self esteem and sometimes 'jokes' like these ones push us over the edge. I personally think that its just childish to post these things, and I'm not going to be the one to say 'HEY YOU, STOP BEING DISCRIMINATIVE' or whatever. but I think a lot of the females are pretty respectful (for the most part) towards the guys about this stuff on the forum and personally I think the guys should do the same. if you really want to do this stuff do it on msn or habbo or something.

I also think that just because you say it isnt meant to be taken seriously doesn't mean it wont be. I know that I've been 'joked' in the past and it was really offensive actually. plus if the mods are doing it, people are going to follow in their footsteps and thinks things like that are always okay. we live in a new era now, not the traditional man-works-woman-tends-to-the-house life. guys cook, women work, guys stay home sometimes, its not the same as the old lifestyle. so whats the point in even keeping it around? :S

That's exactly it - people only complain about them because they assume other people will be offended. Based on that comment I'm guessing you yourself are not offended so if we leave it for those who are, to say so, I think we'll find most people understand they are just jokes.

I'm a guy (<INSERT SCOTTS JOKE ABOUT HOW IM NOT HERE>) but I'll say this anyway!

Woman worked damn hard to get the proper rights and freedoms they have today and in a lot of places they still dont have all the rights they deserve and are subject to job discrimination (lower salary, etc). Making sexist jokes is totally 100% undermining and showing disrespect for all of that work. It's unnecessary, and certainly the most immature thing I have ever seen on Habbox since I joined.

Making sexist jokes is totally 100% undermining and showing disrespect for all of that work. It's unnecessary, and certainly the most immature thing I have ever seen on Habbox since I joined.

didnt i already said

Wanna hear a funny joke?
Women's rights.

and

What do you call a woman with two brain cells?
Pregnant.

[Nixt]

Going back to this post again, this is wrong. because there is a father as well, what do you think the father is suppose to do ? He is suppose to help look after the child as well. Not just the mother,..

This is not a debate on the role of the woman. As I said before, I don't actually think what I am saying - that is why it is a joke.

Jokes are suppose to be funny. Not making fun of people.

[,Lexiilu]

My mum would probably laugh tbh. And the point is the same as the point of any other joke; humour.

[scottish]

oh i didnt read properly i thought you said do i think people will look down on me and i meant no to that.

[,Lexiilu]

but its not humorous, its just rude to women.
since they went through so much to get their rights, its just outright a disgrace.

[Hecktix]

Lexi, that was the definition of a joke out of the dictionary, english dictionary mind.

It didn't have the word funny in it.

[Black_Apalachi]

Jokes are suppose to be funny. Not making fun of people.

No, they can make fun of people. Most jokes make fun of someone or something.

@Lexi; it is funny though.

[,Lexiilu]

Lexi, that was the definition of a joke out of the dictionary, english dictionary mind.

It didn't have the word funny in it.

@sergio no, its rude ;l

[HotelUser]

[Lindsey]

The Joke Definition is ; a humorous anecdote or remark intended to provoke laughter;

I don't find anyone laughing at the immature jokes, expect for boys. to be honest.

[,Lexiilu]

[Hecktix]

[,Lexiilu]

[scottish]

First you offend Femals now trying to offend Canadian Schools? ... Wow, and for your information . i got it off of Google , okay .

[Hecktix]

I think Haiti jokes are rude and a couple of those have been posted

Still nothing done tho because they are j o k e s and arent too vulgar and mean no harm.

Once my girlfriend has made me my cup of tea and signed off her duty in the kitchen for the night, she will join me in bed and we can relax together ;)

Good night.

Do you not know what discrimination and offensive mean:S

Because these jokes disrespect how much woman have worked towards equal rights, and being valued as an equal compared to a man.

[scottish]

your grammar and punctuation tell us about your "education" lol

[Black_Apalachi]

then fight against them.

we're fighting for a cause we think is right, no harm in it ;)

her DUTY huh? that's extremely immature. I wonder how people like you live with yourselves sometimes. a woman doesn't live to serve you, she's strong and independent and can fend for herself. thats how we got all the rights we earned along the way xox

good day :)

I don't think you people take History in school to be honest. , See thats rude how I just said that. I'll rephrase it. I don't think English people take history in school because so many females have died because of trying to be equal to boys. Finally we are equal and now males are saying we work in the kitchen? , Very disrespectful

[Hecktix]

People who belong to the Islamic community would find it offensive that women are allowed to say what they think tbh...

Surely that argument is an equal argument to your argument?

So ok then, if we get a muslim community on this forum, and they complain that women say too much and pics are too revealing, we'll ban women from talking and stop them posting pics ye?

@ last post:

I took history, i got an A.

One crazy ***** died here, threw herself infront of a horse. What a muppet?

[Black_Apalachi]

Yeah that's why we let you use our kitchen appliances.

Yeah I did do history actually. Aintree is only a few mins away from me, are you gonna come and run in front of a horse again? :L

I seriously can't believe crap like this is being tolerated. You can try to justify this to me until you're blue in the face. This is sexist crap that should not be allowed.

[Nixt]

Getting a bit out of hand now, I think. Everyone has had plenty of opportunity to make their point.

Thread closed.

[Jin]

Sorry but I do not see the quarrel in this thread.

These jokes are not of a discriminatory or sexist nature purely because females are not being treated differently because of their gender which is ultimately what discrimination is.

Essentially all that could be said is that some may find it slightly offensive in a similar way as to how people may find "current affairs" jokes offensive such as the Haiti topic or dead public figures.

More importantly nothing is stopping people from posting jokes such as:


Why do men die before their wives?
They should.

If you are honestly offended by such jokes (at this point I am talking about jokes which may offend any user for whatever reason not just gender jokes) then I would suggest closing the page before the punchline is delivered, I would also suggest never going to see stand-up comedy as it more then likely wont be for you.
