The only difference between flirting and harassment is your level of Attractiveness
The image presents two frames featuring the character Skeletor from the animated series "He-Man and the Masters of the Universe." In the first frame, Skeletor is depicted in a relaxed, laid-back pose, with one elbow planted on the ground supporting his body, and a sly expression on his face. Accompanying this image is a caption, "The only difference between flirting and harassment is your level of attractiveness."
The second frame features Skeletor hastily sprinting away, seemingly in a hurry, with a caption that states, "Skeletor is off to HR!" This suggests that he is hastily making his way to the human resources department of an organization, a play on contemporary societal norms regarding workplace behavior.
The humor in this image comes from several aspects, starting with the absurdity of a skeletal villain character being involved in mundane human situations such as flirting or interacting with a human resources department. Skeletor, being a popular culture villain, is not typically associated with everyday workplace scenarios or the subtle nuances of human interaction.
Additionally, the joke plays on a common and somewhat controversial observation about social interactions, implying that perceptions of behavior can be influenced by the physical attractiveness of the person involved. Although this is a sensitive topic, the use of a cartoonish villain like Skeletor to convey this message places it clearly in the realm of satire and exaggeration.
The second layer of humor is derived from the juxtaposition of Skeletor's initially confident posture and the instant switch to a comedy-infused panic as he runs off to HR. The idea is that the bravado and hubris exhibited in the first frame are instantly undercut by the fear of professional repercussions in the second.
Finally, the image parodies the very serious and important role of human resources in maintaining professional decorum and addressing issues such as harassment. By involving a fictional and evil character in such a scenario, the meme trivializes the subject in a humorous twist that resonates with an audience familiar with both corporate culture and classic cartoons.
