And like, the setup for the "joke" isn't even reasonable. They came up with the punchline that single moms are leftovers (dehumanising as fuck) and then the best context was "2 dating people are texting about leftovers lmao" good lord

inb4 people start saying "lol taking a joke too seriously"

Is it cool to make dehumanizing jokes about men with mental health issues? Men with disabilities? Disadvantaged men who are struggling? Can I imply that they're less of a person or don't have any value because of their circumstances?

If you think about it for more than a second, it's pretty fucked up.
