Why would you post this without context? IIRC this was in response to someone complaining that Goblin Slayer was about slaying goblins, and no other monsters

[–] onionsinmypores@sh.itjust.works 97 points 2 days ago

This is very important, thanks

I mean... That guy does kinda have a point. Demon Slayers slay more than demons. Speed Racer does more than race (and I never once saw him doing speed). Sailor Moon isn't just the one titular character. 🤷‍♂️

Buffy barely slew any vampires after the second or third season.

I believe they even have a couple 4th wall breaking jokes about that, too.

Scope creep destroys not only software projects.

And you can't even sail to the moon. There's no wind in space, who do they think they are kidding.

The Baron Munchausen disagrees.

Didn't know what this was, but that guy could literally sail to the moon on the power of his mustache alone. Mere physics cannot help but bend to his whims.

It's because goblin slayer is about a guy slaying just goblins.

[–] notreallyhere@lemmy.world 32 points 2 days ago

no. this makes complete sense.

I think the British put tomato sauce in their canned beans.

Is this a metaphor I'm not recognizing?

[–] QueenHawlSera@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It's a metaphor for entitled Karens

No, it's a response to someone complaining that you only kill Goblins in the game Goblin Slayer

[–] PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

So not no, but actually yes

[–] AnarchoEngineer@lemmy.dbzer0.com 35 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (3 children)

Fake: one can is surely not a bit too many beans

Gay: My gay friends eat beans. Anon eats beans. Ergo, anon is gay. QED.


Edit: My roommate, who is pansexual, says I should have said anon is pan “because you can put beans in a pan” …I think we might both just be very sleep deprived because, rereading this, I’m not sure either joke is actually funny at all but we’re cracking up lol

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

no no no, you're right that's a good joke

Am I too normal to understand this?

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 1 points 16 hours ago

You come to c/Greentext. You receive a green text. You don't get the joke. You come to comments in order to complain

According to another comment this was in response to someone complaining that Goblin Slayer only has Goblins and no other monsters.

So Anon "Bought a Can of Beans" by watching an anime about a guy called the Goblin Slayer, and is mad that there "Wasn't any salad in the Can of Beans," because all he does is... Slay Goblins.

[–] Salamanderwizard@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

It's a mad world.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 10 points 2 days ago

i hope anon takes their meds :(
