I dont find racial jokes nor jokes about people with disabilities funny. I also dont like jokes filled with cuss words and vulgar language. Jokes about rape are not funny either
I think this goes for regular people as well, you have to know your audience of course. Unless you take enjoyment from offending people. 🤫 I see woke people.
Too many people get offended on other peoples behalf. If you told a joke about someone who is black I guarantee most black people would find it funny or not even care. But there is a waive of SJWs (mainly a small minority of white women) who feel these people are apparently to stupid to realise someone is making a joke about them and need defending.
No, humor should never be held to the politically correct standards that so many morons believe in today. Comedians should feel free to joke about whatever they want without worrying about being smeared later for political reasons.
You can joke about anything if it doesn't have malicious intent. People are always going to get offended no point in walking on eggshells all the time.
Who am I to decide what is or isn't humorous to anyone other than myself? Here in the US, we are guaranteed the right of free speech. Humor is a form of speech and therefore cannot be regulated simply because someone finds it offensive.
If it offends me, I might groan a little. But I kind of love offensive humor. Jim Jeffries, Bill Burr, Bill Maher, Louis CK... Chapelle... Mulaney, Katherine Monaghan... Edgy is great...
Nothing, as long as its seen just as a joke. And does not target or involve bullying someone maliciously its fine. And is not taken outside that place. As long as its also funny. Louis CK joked about pedophilia, Russell peters joked about race, bill maher about religion. and george Carlin about murder. It was accepted by people because it was very funny. And because they knew it will never accepted in normal life
Mmmh... probably the act itself of raping someone. I know that there are extremely off color circumstances where you can make a joke about a rape happening in a specific scenario, but I have never once heard someone make an actually funny joke about committing a rape.

Those who say nothing is off limits thinks someone getting abused and or raped and or murdered is funny. Lets see them find it funny if any of those things were to happen to someone they care about. They probably also find the Holocaust and genocides funny.
@MixedDrinks Violent games can cause some people but not all people to be violent. If those who say nothing is off limits did not think abuse, rape, murder etc was funny then they would not have said nothing is off limits.
I do think about those things, and the actual actions are monstrably horrifying, I wouldn't wish them on anyone, but the joke itself is just that, a joke.
And the video game thing was debunked in the late 90s. Those games simply attract people who were already in their violent mindsets. The main thing to point to would be the Columbine shooters, since they played Doom before their crime, but it was proven they had their tendencies before even playing the game. They are escapes from reality, not programming.
@MixedDrinks so they did a study on the affects of violent video games on people. So if they did was the conclusion that not a single person who plays violent video games and then were violent became violent because of the game?
Humor can go too far sometimes, so yes, I think there are things you just don't joke about. And it honestly is not necessary to make a joke about everything. Like rape, illnes, homelessness, or death.
I believe the more a topic invokes the triggering of feminazis (and other such sjw wastes of oxygen) on one hand, and religious filth on the other - the more people should joke about it and make fun of it as much and as often as humanly possible. The more those said populations are offended by it - the better you're doing!
You know, I bet you're the kind of person that uses the term libtard to demean people not like you (aka non-redneck cousin-f*ckers). Well, if you want to take the first 2-3 letters of a political affiliation and add "yard" to the end, remember that a Republican is, in this case, a r*tard.
@Screenwriter So you think rape, abuse, murder, genocide, thee holocaust etc should be allowed to be joked about. Please tell me how those could be hilarious or even funny at all.
@Agape93 I've heard great comedians joke about everything. Their skill with the subject matter is how it can be done. Bad comedians do a bad job at it. There are more of them than great ones...
Good for them, but that doesn’t mean it should ever be joked about. I have a bad, dark sense of humor. But even I won’t sit there and make Rape jokes, especially knowing that a percentage of my audience is a victim of it. That’s never ok.
@Agape93 A percentage of your audience has been victimized by crimes: rape, assault, breaking and entering, car breakins, car crashes, robbery. One way of talking about traumatic events is by lessening their trauma by joking about them. Some people disagree about the power of humor to heal. I think that is its saving grace.
It can also trigger their ptsd and reawaken their traumatic memories. Especially when it’s perceived that people are making light of what they went through and are going through.
Can what someone jokes about be distasteful, cruel, horrid, uncalled for, and nasty? Yes, it can be but that doesn’t mean it’s right for this to be illegal.
I am no comedian lol but I joke about everything and I don't care what other people think. Life is too short to be sad and unhappy. But I don't do anything I say to purposely hurt anyone individually. It's not nice to be mean to somebody else.
@MannySimms So you think rape, abuse, murder, genocide, thee holocaust etc should be allowed to be joked about. Please tell me how those could be hilarious or even funny at all.
The only type of jokes I dont really care for are when dads make jokes about how they're going to kill their daughters boyfriend or how they'll kill any man that that looks at their daughter. Its really creepy and unsettling. They're not only treating their daughter as if they're some piece of real estate, but they're treating other men like predators.

Of course there are social repercussions and you have to deal with that but I don't think anything is off limits if delivered correctly.
Yes... sockpuppets!!!🤣
Ok, one thing I cannot tolerate is someone making fun of special needs people. I'm sorry, but people that do that in my book are the lowest!!! 🤚🤨

Farming, I think people who joke about sheaf and local field should be sent to Gulag to work with finite fields.

You're just making the "violent games create violent people" argument.

@MixedDrinks
That would me joking about the Holocaust, rape and other horrible stuff on those lines is okay to do. I do not agree.
When excluding those with trauma and abuse in their recent past or childhood, none were found to become violent because of video games.
@MixedDrinks show proof of the studies that were done.
He doesn't have to.
No, there's no taboo topics to joke about. But I think there's wrong times and places and especially wrong ways to joke about certain topics.
Humor can go too far sometimes, so yes, I think there are things you just don't joke about. And it honestly is not necessary to make a joke about everything. Like rape, illnes, homelessness, or death.
No. I believe it's important to joke about anything to preserve freedom of speech and to criticize anything.
I believe the more a topic invokes the triggering of feminazis (and other such sjw wastes of oxygen) on one hand, and religious filth on the other - the more people should joke about it and make fun of it as much and as often as humanly possible.

Waste of oxygen, exhibit 1793. Thank you, Pavel. Now be on your way 😆
I'm for free speech. Joke about anything. You can always attach the disclaimer: "What? Too soon?"...
Gilbert Gottfried lost his role as the Aflac duck for making jokes about the earthquake and tsunami in Japan in 2011.

Agreed with darkness. Some subjects you just don’t joke about b

i joke about death, murder, and mental illness all the time as coping mechanisms, but that rubs people who HAVEN'T been through abuse the wrong way.
NO!!!

@MysteriousDarkness Can't be funny to arrogant folks like you, right? What if others find it funny? What should be done with them?
