noblepeasant:punchestoyourheart:noblepeasant:Gonna be honest, OP. Adding the word “heteronormative” to a joke is like comedy arsenic. It kills the joke.I read it like that bit in Life of Brian, where they spoofed the “assigning gender” bitI get what they were going for, but its such a bizarre word. No-one talks like that in real life, so unless you’re doing a bit with a character who is talking in needlessly scientific terms, it’s quite jarring.If the dude just said “that’s not very inclusive, is it?” I think the joke would have landed a lot better. -- source link
