#There are typically cues when something is meant to be taken as “social misstep” vs “joke”

personal fandom pet peeve is when people read really hard into jokes, but specifically only to make bad faith arguments or paint a character as the worst person ever. Character people don’t like for arbitrary reasons, who is generally characterized as being a sarcastic, dry person, will make one joke/the show will include them in a single comedy beat and suddenly no one knows how to laugh anymore
#Yes this is sooo so specific about one character specifically why do you ask#And it’s so crazy to me bc the character I’m talking abt is played by an actor I think is generally really good at the comedic delivery#He kills it every time he’s so funny#And it’s often like a read the scene moment to because listen to the music playing look at everyone else’s face#There are typically cues when something is meant to be taken as “social misstep” vs “joke”#And I’m not saying you can’t find jokes in poor taste#But the jokes in question are so tame#And also it’s literally every other fucking word out of this characters mouth#Anyways unrelated happy s7 finale day that I haven’t watched yet for all who celebrate
