If you didn't like it then leave.

Just walking away from someone who you're talking to is generally seen as very rude, hence us developing social cues to demonstrate that you're done with the topic/conversation.

Jokes that involve or could be mistaken for rudeness rarely land online, in my experience. There are too many trolls and so people assume bad faith.
