This is a very US centric joke.

Nah

I specifically included the outside and censored it because I felt the Facebook context added to it.

Just posting this meme on its own doesn't nearly have the effect if you don't know it was posted by a middle aged person.

The main issue that seems to be the disconnect is simply that you are using the word as an insult.

Calling someone unintelligent is fine (I feel at least) but specifically using words that are associated with disabled people as an insult towards abled people is blatantly putting one group on top of the other.

The insult in that case cuts both ways. The person you are directly talking to is insulted because they are acting like a "lower group" and you're also insulting the entire group by saying they are inherently lesser.

You can not use a group of people as an insult without inherently viewing that group as insult worthy.

Intent doesn't really matter if the entire butt of the joke is that this person is asking like a "lesser" group.

Even if intent did matter... How would a passive observer be able to tell if the person meant it or not? You really can't without knowing both parties involved, their history together, and if that person regularly does similar styles of joke.

It's easier to just pick a different word to insult someone's intelligence instead of one that's designed to hurt a specific group of people.

This is a parody of Boomer memes.

The classic meme goes "not a phone in sight. Just people enjoying the moment". This is a play on that by swapping the words and romanticizing phones instead.

My first thought was "what the fuck"

Then I looked at who posted it and went "that's pretty tame actually"

Notably... I'm actually the one sending every one of those.

There's an icon next to the message that means "sent" on the app.

Overall the apps UI is horrible though so it's not a surprise people are confused.

This comic isn't about people not finding it funny but more so someone being respectful of what someone else enjoys.

Oof. I'm glad you found the truth and got out quickly.

He didn't... It's a name used to identify him without actually crediting the name so people who don't know him can't get curious and Google him.

Honestly this one could be like 8 different comics. It's a weirdly common thing in newspaper comics for two characters to just be some guy and an animal and the whole thing is just them talking normally.

Why is he wearing a Milk helmet?

Are helmets common when milking cows?
