Snitches get stitches.

Is it just me or is this context kinda some horseshit? To me ‘snitches get stitches’ means ‘don’t rat out the people you were doing the thing with because that makes you a traitor’. This comes off as ‘don’t speak up when you’ve been abused’. I get it’s a joke I’m just saying it kinda rubbed me the wrong way and could be framed better and still be funny.
Thing is, the whole threatening the victim has always been a part of the phrase. Don’t tattle, don’t snitch, it’s part of the built in bullshit of school, and even teachers and staff sometimes buy into it, indirectly penalizing students that report abuse from other students. Even more common is nothing at all being done to prevent retaliation, so the cycle of it continues.
This is a joke, obviously. They’re turning the idea around, it’s just that the fact there’s an idea to turn around in the first place is so horrible that the joke kinda falls flat unless you have a dark sense of humor.
Sub the kid for an injured mob guy and the parents for his mob guy friends and the question for ‘can you tell me what happened?’ And boom I think you got an alternate version of the joke that sidesteps the iffy framing
holy shit, did you write your dissertation on over-elaborating internet funnies?
I’ve noticed there’s an overwhelming amount of people that are subscribed to this community for some reason, that tend to majorly over analyze the strip this is the third post I’ve seen today where the top three is either complaining or something negative about the post. It’s weird
Being said I don’t think this person is really complaining, I definitely don’t agree with the juxtaposition of don’t speak out when abused because I didn’t get that from that post at all and I still don’t understand how they came to that conclusion but, it’s a trend I’ve noticed
Holy shit, it’s an open forum where we can talk about whatever the fuck we want. Why not just block me instead of being obnoxious?
Holy shit, why are people holy shitting?
To me ‘snitches get stitches’ means ‘don’t rat out the people you were doing the thing with because that makes you a traitor’.
Least people who do shitty things… don’t tend to make that distinction. It’s often used as a threat to bystanders and even victims. IE I took your lunch money, if you go to the teacher about it, we will beat you up.
If you are talking friends who participate, the implied violence would be unnecessary really. You roll on your friends when doing something against the rules, your friends will never include you in their activities again.
🤣 took me a while.
Same, its a good one
I made my bully cry when he “kicked my ass” and I just laughed because my younger brothers could hit harder.
Lol.
There was something magical when a mean kid would realize that my brothers’ and my idea of a rollicking good time was a serious ass kicking on their scale.
I’ll admit, it doesn’t speak well to my brothers’ or my intellect, but I guess messing with us was particularly stupid.
if then != iff
Indeed. We should be suspicious of this doctor’s diagnostic ability, if that’s not another leap of logic too far.
Could have been worse.
He won’t end up in a ditch.
