[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

This statement negatively impacts Joe's credibility because Spunk claims Joe came out with a meatax, which suggests aggression and premeditation. A meatax is a heavy, sharp tool typically used for butchering meat, not for self-defense. This implies that Joe was intending to harm or kill someone, rather than acting in self-defense. Therefore, Spunk's statement undermines Joe's claim that he was acting in retaliation or in defense of himself.
