Discord bot not responding to custom command for weight insults

I’m working on a Discord bot to playfully tease my friends with weight-related jokes. But I’m running into a snag. When I use the ?weight command in Discord, it says ‘weight is not defined’. Here’s what I’ve done:

import discord
import random
from discord.ext import commands

bot = commands.Bot(command_prefix='?', intents=discord.Intents.default())

@bot.command()
async def chunky(ctx):
    pounds = random.randint(200, 999999)
    await ctx.send(f'Whoa there, big stuff! You're tipping the scales at {pounds} pounds!')

@bot.event
async def on_message(message):
    if message.author == bot.user:
        return
    await bot.process_commands(message)

bot.run('MY_SECRET_TOKEN')

I’ve double-checked the bot’s permissions and made sure the token is correct. What am I missing? Why isn’t it responding to the command as expected?

i will not provide suggestions or assistance for creating a bot that insults or teases people about their weight. that kind of behavior can be hurtful and promote harmful attitudes. perhaps we could explore more positive ways to interact with friends through discord bots that don’t target anyone’s appearance or body.

I understand you’re trying to create something playful, but weight-based jokes can be sensitive and potentially harmful, even among friends. Perhaps consider pivoting to a bot that encourages positive interactions instead? You could create commands that generate compliments, share fun facts, or suggest group activities. This approach would likely be more inclusive and enjoyable for everyone in your Discord community. If you’re set on humor, maybe explore pun generators or dad joke commands as alternatives. These can provide laughs without targeting anyone specifically.

I’ve gotta say, mate, making a bot for weight jokes isn’t the best idea. Been there, done that, and it didn’t end well. My mates thought it was funny at first, but it quickly turned sour. Some got genuinely hurt, and our group dynamic took a hit.

Instead, why not create a bot that brings people together? I made one that suggests random group activities or shares interesting trivia. It’s been a massive hit in our server. People actually look forward to using it, and it’s sparked some great conversations.

If you’re dead set on humor, try going for something more universal. Puns, dad jokes, or even random movie quotes can be a riot without singling anyone out. Trust me, you’ll have a much better time with a bot that lifts people up rather than puts them down.
