Hollywood is run by Jews? WHO KNEW?!? And nobody told me? Vhy didn’t anyone tell me vhat am I chopped livah? Whenever I hear 🐂💩 like this I respond with two words, I WISH! I wish my great great grandfathers were part of this Jewish takeover of Hollywood. OY VAY! I should only be so lucky.
“Lampshading” is when you take a tired (typically TV or movie) trope of some kind and flip it intentionally in a mocking or self-aware manner.
When you used that word referencing someone reading a Nazi publication some can't help connect to the gruesome fact that many lampshades were made from the tanned skins of Holocaust victims - some even showing the numbers tattooed on them.
Probably shows a character fault on my part for connecting what was a coincidental use of language.
Exactly
