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

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.

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

What do you tell a woman with two black eyes?

Nothing, you already told her twice.

That's seriously an acceptable joke?

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.

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

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!

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?
