"Stripes and plaid, honey, puh-lease!"
I can't figure this one out. Is it an actual dad joke or is it a meta dad joke where the joke is that "dad joke" = joke about dads?
🤷
Why the heck is this joke so controversial?
It's not so much a joke as a recitation of a tired stereotype
Probably. Although I suspect at least one person downvoted because they thought it was actually a post why gay people shouldn't be parents.
as much as I disagree with the "OnLy 7% Of MeAnInG GetS IntO tExt FoRmAt!!1!1" saying, this is one of those times where the removal of tone/body language can make a joke fall flat :/
