Maybe he's just not confident in his own knowledge, and the context of talking about an OnlyFans convinced him that he'd misremembered the name.

    Or he's using the gray-rock technique to confront pretty blatant misogyny.

    What's the misogyny?

    Well, would this joke have worked as Malcolm X's Only Fans? Would anybody have bothered to message a friend to share that Warpigs username? There's no connection to what Parks is known for, no parody or subversion of expectations, other than the transgression of presenting a respected, famous person as a low-status sex worker. And it only works for a woman.

    (OTOH, Henry Kissinger's Only Fans might work based on the incongruity of anybody thinking of such a ghoul in a sexual context.)

    After hitting up the wiki/reading the comments, I still don't get the joke/issue. What am I looking at here?

    There is no joke, its that my friend wasnt sure who Rosa Parks was and what Only Fans is. I can forgive not knowing what Only Fans is, but everyone should know who Rosa Parks is.

    Most people are self-centered (which makes sense... to a point), & often don't much care about things that don't directly affect them - it's just the degree to which they are like this that varies. Now you know just how bad your "mate" is in that regard.

    Not understanding a joke and not being sure about only fans are not traits i would describe as self centered. Sex jokes about historical figures may be funny if your are into that humour but if you have never encountered it yet they are quite strange.

    Not talking about the joke. I'm talking about not knowing about one of the most well-known names in equal rights history - especially when it happened (and therefore her likely current status). Presumably because they don't care since it doesn't currently affect them personally.

    So if I'm a history buff and a nice person, I have to laugh at "Rosa Parks' OnlyFans" because hah she totally suck dicks? Or what? I still don't get the joke, it's just that bad.

    I don't disagree. I'm referring to not knowing about Rosa Parks - over of the most well-known figures in the history of equal rights, and it sounds like they've barely heard of her, let alone when. Can't be bothered learning about things that don't currently directly affect their life, apparently.
