TL;DR: it's making fun of (potential!) macho-ism in a group, but in a non-offensive way
its exactly the last you sed but i see that the multicultural mix that we found here (or the lack of social skills of some members) misunderstanded my statement, anyway im going to ask apology to everyone who got offended

Speaking as a descendant of a tribe of headhunters (trust me, they're in there somewhere), I'll thank you not to traduce our proud traditions!
