I queued with two guys in a video game Wednesday morning who spouted that line. I was taken aback. How do you effectively respond to someone who says that? I didn’t handle it well, but I have thought about it a lot since it happened. I remember playing with shock humor when I was in high school, but that is beyond the pale.
Sometimes asking them to explain the joke will be enough to get them feeling embarrassed. If there’s multiple guys throwing this shit around that tactic could easily backfire, though.

I stopped playing online games some years back because this sort of thing was far too common. And I bet it’s even worse now.

Tell them about Lorena Bobbitt. Modern women can learn a lot from her failure to dispose of the dick properly.
(The tactic is to shock them right back)
