“I’m gonna use a word I really shouldn’t use. But people might get mad at me for doing so. But on the other hand, the word is really edgy and cool… That’s it! I’ll just cover up part of the word so people don’t notice I’m using it! I’m so smart!”
Over a popular webcomic’s art so that uninformed backlash may be directed towards the artist they freebooted from
Originally in the book it seems to have been “dude”, then someone made a post where they changed it to “nigga”, but it wasn’t censored. Later on someone decided to censor the word. So not the same people at work there (I mean, I think not lol)
It’s still dumb as hell tho.
Damn, never seen an xkcd where they used that kind of language! 😳
It‘s not original. The joke originated in xkcd 821 (Five Minute Comics Pt. 3), however it was a little different still. The wording (besides the slur) stems from xkcd creator Randall Munroe‘s book What if?.
If you compare the image to actual xkcds, you’ll notice, that the font is different.
Also, I found a picture of the comic from the book on pinterest.
Can’t have people think xkcds could be this tasteless.
Weird, why would someone rewrite a joke to land on the same punchline
