        I’m not gay, but i am arab and the fact he called me an islamist for posting an arabic meme is so funny to me. I’ve been loving fucking with him lmao

              That’s… obscure, I guess, if I don’t speak Arabic and less funny if I have to read the explanation without knowing the pun, but nowhere near offensive.

                I think what makes it funnier is how unrelated those two terms are. It’s a quirk of the Arabic language and there’s a whole class of these types of puns.

                My favorite one is “bullying” and “the tigerization”

                  I think you might appreciate the German word “Scheinwerfer”:

                  (The joke is that the word “Schein” can mean both the “shine” of a lamp or paper bills, and “Werfer” means thrower or caster. So a “shine-caster” aka light or a “bill-thrower” depending on how you interpret it.)
