Do you even Lost bro?
The only thing I know about Lost is that it's a show on TV.
I think.
Not joking.
Yes, because "hilarious" is such an archaic and often misused word the OP obviously wasn't expressing that he found humor in "blah blah, womens rights, sexism blah blah".
His post screams irresolute observation.
No, he found it "hilarious"(ironic) that one women would join discraft(val) after leaving another company due to women's equality. This gives the image of discraft supporting women's rights(escpecially after Val got a sig disc). But then a long-time legend(king) leaves discraft due to concerns of women's equality and not getting a signature disc.
I would hope you see the funny part of the irony, because he wasn't trying to discredit women's rights/equality
I don't want another person's names on my discs - male or female. KC Pro No.

There's no irony here, and if there were it wouldn't be funny (and btw: irony isn't always humorous). Back in EK's heyday, no women from any sponsor had a sig disc. JK was the first as far as I know, and when she received her two it wasn't due to wins or marketability. She suggested a new blend for a putter and the Valkyrie was compensation for work she had done, be her own admission. Paige's first win with Discraft got her a sig Stalker. Val moved to Discraft the year after a win, and so she got a sig Thrasher. Elaine and Val's situations aren't comparable, so no irony.
The OP starts off with "crazy feminist", and even after you defending him he's spouting **** about "white knight feminists".......I would hope you see the irony.
Definitely worth a watch. Great TV.
This is a stupid assertion. The concepts of "white knight" and "feminist" are mutually exclusive. The idea of "white knights" is that men cannot defend the notion that women are people on the internet sincerely, but that it is only done as a cynical exercise to attract the favor of women. "Feminism" is the sincere idea that women are people and that they deserve the same fairness that is usually granted to men.
If you're going to be a cynical jerk, at least use the words correctly. For example, you could have called people "white knight fake feminists," or even dragged a recent BS buzzphrase like "virtue signaling" into the poorly-delivered insult.
I award you 0/10 points.
I dispute your premise and believe your definitions are errant.

How hilarious is this!?!
Val Jenkins bashed innova for not giving her a signature disc and then pranced over to discraft last year... now less than a year later Elaine King leaves discraft for the exact same reason... not enough recognition and no signature disc.
and in between both of these events, Austin Turner of Discraft gets a signature disc! where was val crying when austin got a signature disc? why isn't val leaving discraft with elaine king!?
blah blah womens rights, sexism, blah blah.
Thank you for mansplaining mansplaining.
Sorry, couldn't resist.
