Schrödinger's Douchebag

A guy who says offensive things and decides whether he was joking based on the reaction of people around him.

Any website that lacks effective moderation and allows some level of anonymity will, to varying degrees, approxomate 4chan, and be overrun with Schrödinger's Douchebags. Now this type of person defends, for instance, rape-jokes by saying "all humor is inherently punching down because there must be a butt to every joke." He hasn't thought about it. he assumes it's true because he figures "(he's) a smart guy, and whatever (he) assumes is probably right", but he's unfazed if you prove otherwise. There's no shortage of dodgy reasons he might be right and you wrong. He'll just pick another one. What matters is the game continues.

Schrödinger's Douchebag

Someone who decides if their previous statement was a joke or not depending on people's reaction.
If it is recieved positively, they will not call it a joke and simply keep going.
If it is recieved negatively, they will try to gaslight people into believing that the statement is a joke and put down those who try to call them out.
before any reaction however, they are in a superstate of joking and not joking. Hence, the Schrödinger's Cat refference.

Douchebag: "I hate minorities"
Person 1: "woah wth dude?"
Douchebag: "I was joking why are you being so sensitive?
Person 1: "Schrödinger's Douchebag much?"
alternatively,
Douchebag: "I hate minorities"
Person 2: "I agree"
Douchebag, to themself: "I love being a Schrödinger's douchebag"

Schrödinger's Douchebag

When one says something offensive, and their irony is initially unclear, they are basically simultaneously ironic and unironic, until they get a reaction. If they appear to get a positive (unironic approving) reaction, then the waveform collapses into being unironic. If they appear to get a negative (unironic opposing) reaction it collapses into being ironic. Shrodinger's douchebag.

"'Despite being 13% of the population, they commit over 50% of the crime' is definitely not a true statement."
"It's funny because it's true! Unfortunately, people don't want to hear the truth and they seriously blame white people and 'systemic racism' for this."
"Yep, we are living in clown world my dude."

"'Despite being 13% of the population, they commit over 50% of the crime' is definitely not a true statement."
"Wtf. Bro are you a racist?"
"No, I'm just being ironic, haven't you ever heard of dark humor before?

"Gosh that dude is a real Schrödinger's Douchebag"

Schrödinger's Douchebag

While it formally has to involve an offensive topic, it is expanded upon people who try way too hard to make something land, but based upon the reaction of the audience, they'll say it's a joke as their form of copium to make up for their lack of spanking they received in their childhood.

Schrödinger's Douchebag

A buzzword thrown around in leftist spheres online built off a dumb conspiracy theory that the only reason anyone could like edgy humor is that they're secretly an evil nazi that drowns bags of puppies in a well while tweedling his comically large moustache. Citing that they only say it's a joke, when they receive backlash for it. When in reality, the vast majority of people who enjoy this brand of humor live with a mutual understanding that these are just jokes for shock value. And they aren't going to need this fact explained to them, let alone act in bad faith and make trying to explain it to them like talking to a brick wall.
