If anyone from the SoSuave Forum is reading, this is a breakdown of what makes something funny and why you failed.
Humor, and specifically satire, which you attempted, are funny because they either expose a truth or parody someone's image, words, and ideas just enough that's it's believable.
So if the picture had been the boys from "Stand By Me" or "The Wonder Years" with the caption "If someone had released 'Bang' we'd know what to do!!" that would have been funny. Or if it were a pic of the guys from a movie like "Revenge of the Nerds" or "Not Another Teen Movie" that would have been funny. And we all would have laughed because on some level we are like those guys (in fact ALL guys are like those guys at some point).
Other funny things: a still from "Swingers" with a smart-ass caption; those two dorks from "Saturday Night Live" who were always failing to pick up women; Al Bundy and his "No Ma'am" club. All could have been successfully used to goof on anyone here.
But equating people here with child sex abusers not only isn't funny, it's unwittingly demeaning to women. It's saying that women are on the intellectual and emotional level of children, who have no agency and no freedom of choice and are totally at the mercy of big, bad PREDATORS ™ from this forum.
It's definitely not a good parody of this forum since the forum specifically bans any talk of underage girls -- and is quick to ban anyone for any transgression. So be careful who you try and satirize. It seems to me like you all hit the wrong target.
