Your comment made me realize with new clarity how much male relationships are built on a shock factor comedic antics and edgy humor, which include casual homophobia and misogyny, racism or just generally "punching down."

But also, ick.

Don't remind me! The number of cringy memories I have of saying something utterly obscene just for the shock lulz. Man, I used to be such a miserable person. I hope that's over now.

Ugh, same. Can't bear to think how many people I must have alienated or hurt with such behavior. I suppose there's nothing to be done about the past, but listen to its lessons to be better, kinder me in the future.
