I didn't ask if it would bother you. Stop evading the question.

If the female Graal players play a part in the joke then I see no reason for it to be distasteful.

How does the 'joke' start? How do you ascertain whether or not the person is willing to be demeaned? Do you make the joke and then wait to see if they complain, or ask them beforehand if it's okay to make crude sexual references towards them? Should any person ever be put into
either situation?

I'm not trying to say I'm some stud and that girls need to really sleep with me. Do you see my avatar? Do you see what the guy has in the avatar? It's a baby.

Y'know what else he has? It's a wink. Not a "hey, look at this phat baby" wink (because those don't exist), a "check it out, I banged a chick and spread my seed" wink. I actually like the avatar, as a reference to Oasis. But I didn't realise that it was a symbol of your faux sexual conquests.

I've joked with Angel about it, and Huru, and even other guys

Which brings me to the other point I wanted to raise. When you make this highly-dubious joke with a single person, that's bad taste. When you do it with everyone you meet, and in public? That's an obsession.

none of them care at all. They even tend to joke about it when I'm not even doing it.

Great, I'm glad they're not offended by it (or at least not enough to mention it). But I'm more concerned about those who
don't like to be thought of in such a way, or who're offended by the attitude to females that you're broadcasting.
Quote:
If you don't like the joke, that is your personal opinion. I for one, would not be getting up in other people's business, and making bold assumptions about what these inside jokes translate to.
|
Firstly, it's not a wild assumption. It's a calculated judgement.
Secondly, your intentions in the matter aren't particularly relevant. You might not think it's offensive, and you may not mean it in a sexual manner (at least, not consciously), but you're not the target of this stuff.

If you think I'm serious and that I am trying to sexually harass someone, you really need to loosen up.

Well,
there's a bulletproof argument
