    I can get that but I feel like it’d have the same effect with like a trumpet.

      Sure but as far as I’m aware, a trumpet isn’t an important spiritual and cultural object whereas a didgeridoo is.

      Kinda like how a baseball cap isn’t the same as a war bonnet despite both being worn on your head.

        by insinuating such an important cultural instrument is a shallow blowjob joke.

        Your original implies the instrument itself is the joke but I’m saying anything he’s tooting on in this instance would’ve been hilarious.

        Idk this just feels like one of those things you gotta laugh about because the main topic is so fucked.

          I don’t really see why you have to laugh at all.

          I’d rather see outrage and anger instead of humour being the take from this.

            You can find humor and be outraged. This is the tenth rapey priest story posted this hour alone. If you cried over each case you’d die of dehydration by lunchtime.

            Humors a pretty common response to awful situations. It’s a useful coping tool as the world continues to go to shit around us.
