I initially didn't get either of you, all I can think of was a half-face emoticon. It turns out that "getting the D" means something (I'll refrain from explaining this), and with this context "take a joke" is really unacceptable---it means you know the joke and you think it's fine, which isn't.
- xoac 4y agoI don’t really get why this is so offensive. It’s some guy’s webpage, where we are just visitors, on which he has shared some knowledge with a title that plays on a double entendre. It’s not about taking a joke as it’s not something addressed to you at all. People need to stop being hall monitors on the internet. Just close the page, move on.
- mdp2021 4y agoThe title makes some absolute sense, so it is per se acceptable. You may take this case as a reminder to remain focused and disregard unnecessary potential lateral reads.
- lifthrasiir 4y agoI didn't take offense to the title; it is not even clear whether the author intended that joke (I didn't know that phrase so could the author). I merely pointed out that, if you think the author intended this particular joke, then it is inappropriate to say "take [the] joke".
