It might be a surprise to you, but the post is a joke.
Where is the funny?
Normally when someone asks “would you like to dance” it’s an invitation to dance with that person. In the comic, the lady did not invite the little guy to dance with her, as he and the reader expected.
People often find subversion of expectations like that to be funny.
Your inability to find humor in something does not mean that there is no humor.
The issue isn't the comic, it's you.
Yeah, I guess I'm a weirdo if I don't find the theme "misleading people for my own benefit" to be funny either.
Thanks. I came to the fediverse hoping to find a less toxic environment and was already thinking i made an error. Yeah, having fun at other peoples expense isn't very funny.
Humor is subjective. Just because you might not find it funny doesn't mean others can't.
I feel it’s funny precisely because of how it betrays your expectations with the setup. If it happened to you - outside of the comic - it’d leave a sour taste, but also you’d probably be laughing a bit in a ‘did that just happen?’ kind of way.
Look in a mirror.
