            I think they’re just keeping up the banter. As in, humourously acting like they don’t get your point just to keep the joke going (“So what if you’re a girl? That’s clearly you rn, just replace them with a short girl. Or are you saying girls cannot study the blade?”). Supporting that idea is the fact that “Study the blade” is a relatively well known internet meme at this point.

            But I’m just an unrelated individual inserting myself into a random conversation with little reason, trying to interpret another person’s comment on a shitposting community.

        This entire thread makes me so sad. I didn’t expect this level of discrimination here on lemmy. I was even told this was the good part of the internet…

        Even the #1 rule of this instance is about being respectful, but somehow, threads like this exist and are highly upvoted, with comments endorsing them.

        I saw some of the comments you received on here, and I’m sorry for you.

          Thanks. I’m disappointed too. I would have thought the whole notion of Rule 30 (“There are no women on the Internet”) was dead by now. Clearly I am wrong.

          I guess I should have known better than to expect some people to be anything less than immature children.
