daily reminder to please not make “natural selection” or “darwinism in action” jokes about anti vaxxers when the people actually dying are their helpless little kids who never got a choice or a chance.
Fuck off I’ll make jokes about dying kids. I’ll make jokes about anyone dying. I’ll make jokes about myself dying.
Hey neat I was wondering how many Rick and Morty Funko pops you own and how sticky they are right now
Either it’s ok to joke about everything, or nothing’s ok to joke about.
No, actually, every single subject in the world is surrounded by completely different social circumstances and some things are inherently always going to be crueler and meaner to joke about than others. In some cases the SAME thing might even be crueler to joke about in one context than another, because that’s how our entire world fucking works.
When people like you say “everything should be okay to joke about,” what are you honestly even trying to express? You are already “allowed” to joke about whatever you want and nobody anywhere is actually stopping you at gun point. You may in fact notice that I said “please don’t make this type of joke right now,” not “I am going to break down your door and handcuff you for making this type of joke right now.”
This only leaves the possibility that, when you say everything should be “okay” to joke about, what you MEAN is that you don’t think you deserve to be judged for your conduct and nobody else should be allowed to say that you’re being a piece of shit.
Unfortunately for you, just as I have no power to stop you from joking about abused and murdered toddlers, you don’t have any power to stop me from saying it makes you a trashy asshole, now do you?
when someone says everything deserves to be made fun of, what they’re really saying is that have no respect for people’s pain and don’t give a shit about serious issues when they don’t affect them
I mean, it’s true everything can be joked about, but the vast majority of people are not a) Mel Brooks, or b) George Carlin, so probably shouldn’t.
You Are Not That Funny.
