Is that comeback considered "good"? Why? It doesn't even make any sense.
The sort of men who come out with phrases like that are (almost universally) arseholes. Having a default response, that can be rolled out quickly, and hit at emotional sore spots is useful.
As for why it works, if they are willing to come out with that line, then either a massively misogynistic, or badly socially stunted and rude. Both will drive women away aggressively (and likely a lot of male friends).
Because the kind of guy that asks random people to prove their fandom probably does not have many close friends.
Him asking her to name 5 songs is nasty, it shows he's a bully whose looking to embarrass her. That indicates women are less likely to trust him
Still, you can expect a comeback to not be a complete offtop.
Yes, the first phrase has a goal of embarrassing the owner of the t-shirt, but comeback in the style of "yo momma is so fat that..." is embarrassing to the giver, not to the receiver.
Even "Can YOU name 5 songs?" would be much-much better.
"Can YOU name 5 songs?" would be much-much better.
Holy shit, no it is not. This is like dousing a grease fire with water.
If someone is coming at you with a "prove you're a real fan" question, they've got friends or they've got a video camera. The last thing you want to do is appear desperate.
That's totally misrepresenting it. And you know that.
I'm wondering if maybe they don't know that? Seems like they completely missed the point lol
Eh, misrepresenting?
Because it's an asshole thing to say. Any comeback will be good.
Agree. I'm thinking "why do you even care whether I'm a big fan or not?", or "I don't need to prove anything to you", would work better
That still leaves you as the subject. The meme response puts the focus on the asshole.
