Genuinely can't believe this mate of mine. Either he is blissfully ignorant or has been living under a rock.
After hitting up the wiki/reading the comments, I still don't get the joke/issue. What am I looking at here?
There is no joke, its that my friend wasnt sure who Rosa Parks was and what Only Fans is. I can forgive not knowing what Only Fans is, but everyone should know who Rosa Parks is.
within US
But he did know who she is
And this "Only Fans" you speak of, Naked pictures of people on the internet? Fascinating. mf doth protest too much.
Maybe he's just not confident in his own knowledge, and the context of talking about an OnlyFans convinced him that he'd misremembered the name.
Or he's using the gray-rock technique to confront pretty blatant misogyny.
What's the misogyny?
Well, would this joke have worked as Malcolm X's Only Fans? Would anybody have bothered to message a friend to share that Warpigs username? There's no connection to what Parks is known for, no parody or subversion of expectations, other than the transgression of presenting a respected, famous person as a low-status sex worker. And it only works for a woman.
(OTOH, Henry Kissinger's Only Fans might work based on the incongruity of anybody thinking of such a ghoul in a sexual context.)
Oh i see what you mean. Although i think there are some male historical figures that a similar joke might work for:
Mahatma Gandhi’s only fans
Yeah, that one is dark humor.
Some people are just dense
