I thought gender "flames" were assholish. At least that's what Vitriol said a day or so ago.
See here's where knowing what the fuck you're talking about would come in handy.
If all one
ever does is plunk out age/gender/race/etc. lames then yeah, that's merely an asshole (and a not very bright one).
However there's this thing called "context" that you may want to look up.
In the right time and place, especially if it's not something one would expect, pretty much anything
can be funny.
There's a few pesky details like timing, sentence structure and whatnot but if they're missing/atrocious it's not going to be funny anyway and you're probably just an asshole being an asshole.
If you aren't sharp enough to have figured out there are differences between
always doing the
same thing the
same way and jokingly poking a little fun at someone then just stop trying to figure out flaming.
Stop. It. Now.
You'll never get it and your efforts will only become more tedious as time goes by.
