Actually, the use of self-deprecating humour is can or cannot?

https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/threads/9-to-5-salary-dogs-can-do-wat-side-hustle-ar.6948008/
To clarify... thread was not made to directly or indirectly refer to anyone but myself...
Thread made in a self-deprecating humorous way, referring self as a "9 to 5 salary dog"...
"Asking for friend" is well known online reference used when the questioning is potentially embarrassing and the poster doesn't want to be directly outed for it

is there a misunderstanding or misinterpretation here?

title say "9 to 5 salary dogs "
seems to be imply that every salaried worker who worked 9-5 is a dog.

now you can twist to referring self as a "9 to 5 salary dog"

while asking for a Friend about side hustle can refer to yourself looking for a side hustle, the using plural for workers who worked 9-5 does not seems to be referring only to yourself.

Wah, like that also want to say i twist ah... Broken (sing)english including the incorrect or inconsistent use of plural and singular is part of edmw subculture lingo, u should know this.

Ok nvm, u all want to infract, i cannot escape one. Other people call me idiot indirectly can be called "subjective". But when the indirect ambiguity comes from me, it is not treated with similar subjectivity but assumed guilty with nasty intentions.

By the way the thread also took the direction of my intention, ppl r giving suggestions directed to me and not taking offence. So i dont know i was infracted due to substance or (incorrect) form?

I don't even know who I offended through this. Maybe only the mod who issued this. Nvm.

Each thread is reviewed individually based on its context.

As highlighted, calling someone a dog be it either the Mann or Frau of it version is universally offensive across various cultures.

Additionally, we do not see the thread as self deprecating. Rather, we see it as an attempt to stir as well as name call other professions (“delivery sai”)
