I don't see how it can't be both irreverent humor AND sexism. The two are not mutually exclusive. I daresay if one found sexism to be funny, the two concepts of "funny" and "sexism" would be indistinguishable from each other. No different than bullies who think bullying is funny, so "they're not bullying, they're just joking around!"
Perhaps it's not "other people" who are confused as to what is what...
Some people confuse relevant criticism with baseless attacks.

Imagine being married to Pepe, And you would have to play fair. You wouldn't be allowed to make his jokes bend to your control.

The fact that it's humor, it means it actually isn't serious, therefore it isn't sexist even if it appears to be. It is intended to appear unlike it is.
And irreverent the same, specifically.
At the same time a sexist person could make irreverent jokes but then they wouldn't be irreverent because he would believe in them.

Thanks, it took us 5 pages for us to realise it was a hoax.

The problem is that it looks like off-topic trolling when repeated ad nauseam. Well, if you're really that "sick of it", you do have the option to simply avoid posts\threads\sites where the content you dislike is present.
As was wisely stated elsewhere on the site:
Quote:
Just because they have the right to free speech does not mean they automatically have the privilege of an audience.
There's nothing forcing people to participate in conversations against their will, nor to read individual posts - It is a personal choice. If someone dislikes (or "is sick of") another members posts\posting style\post content, there is nothing forcing them to provide an audience (either through reading the post, or by responding to it).

Going to a place that you helped build up only to find that the same people have spread the same garbage they have spread everywhere else to make the entire place stink.But maybe that is their goal -- to drive away those of us who rely on factual evidence, logic, and reason when discussing any topic, just so that the garbage-spreaders can happily wallow in their own filth without being labelled as swine.
*Offers a hug* Your battle is noble.
I doubt Pepe's goal would be that. That's something Pepe would assume of others.
I'm of the opinion he's just being himself.
Otherwise Pepe wouldn't be an atheist and a skeptic.
Pepe is rather a skunk than swine, and a laughing hyena than a funeral moth.
He fights important political battles and is kind to the emotionally needy, newbies, depressed and the youth.
He has a serious side to all his skunkiness.

Bullies have select targets. Not general speech. Bigots do, though.
Then there's irony.
irony
/ˈʌɪrəni/
noun
the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect
The skunk is obsessed with women and old fashioned. It's not acceptable in today's world to say 'I would never do x thing to women' because it implies women are weak and distinguishable from men. Today we must say 'I would never do x to people' or to skunks.
