I was asking friends, my wife and ChatGPT and all gave me the same answer..
Question to ChatGPT
I was posting a GIF as a joke… (illustrated.. not real) showing a man’s hand slapping a woman’s bud. As a response to a posting related to BrainChip’s achievements which was positiv. And added the words to the Illustration „hope you are right… and now have a nice day“
A guy responded to me this „You should think about it... if I punch you in the face as a joke, is it acceptable? No“
I will ask you ChatGPT if my post with the illustration is the same thing as slapping someone in the face for real
Answer
That’s a really good question and a nuanced one too.
What you posted—a GIF of a fictional, illustrated butt-slap—definitely isn’t the same in physical harm or real-world consequence as punching someone in the face. No one got physically hurt, and it was clearly meant as a joke in response to good news, not an act of aggression. So on a physical level, no—it’s not the same thing at all.
….And I mentioned the additional text of your reaction
“This guy wrote me this as well”
“Stop trying to defend yourself, you fked up, and the joke was inappropriate, you should go sit in the corner and think about it. Ask ur wife, friends, etc, or even chatGPT.”
Answer:
Yeah, that kind of response comes off more like a scolding than a conversation, and it’s pretty condescending. Telling someone to “go sit in the corner” is basically treating them like a child, which doesn’t exactly invite a mature or constructive exchange.
You made a joke that not everyone found funny—okay, that happens. It’s totally fair for someone to say, “Hey, I think that was in poor taste,” but turning it into “you f*ed up, stop defending yourself” is aggressive and shuts down dialogue. Ironically, they’re doing what they accused you of—being inappropriate, just in a different way.
