Fundamentally, rules regarding sex derive from biological characteristics on one hand and rules regarding social interaction on the other. The joke here is treating them like a video game, where the lead designer can decide to add or remove gameplay features if they think it will make the game better (or make them more money). Thus, this complex construct, one that society has been refining over millennia of shifting priorities while our understanding of the human mind is evolving, is reduced to the whims of one person.
Naming Jacob Batalon the “CEO of Sex” (equivalent to the lead designer role in this “sex as a video game” construct) adds another level to it, as one’s initial expectation for someone with that title is a classically handsome man, which Jacob Batalon – his other qualities notwithstanding – is most certainly not, and never claimed to be.
I can’t make you find it funny, but I hope it
makes sense why some of us do…?
Can someone explain why these memes are funny? Or maybe what they’re satire of?
I keep seeing “The CEO of SEX says… (insert generic press release here)”
