The end stage of this is Groypers screaming the N-word at large public events, then filming reaction videos of the results.
Conservative humor
its just a prank bro
And me acting offended was just a prank too. And no me picking your face is just a joke too.
I don’t mind, rather, I enjoy dark humor, just not when it’s thinly veiled actual beliefs. It’s more supposed to be a way to show the absurdity of legitimate problems or be a easier way to broach tough topics.
Yeah, if it’s truly just an attempt to not admit your bigoted beliefs, then it’s a fair callout. But there are also cases where the insulting bigoted comment joke is supposed to make fun of the people who actually hold those beliefs, and those are fair game.
I think they fairly qualified their joke to indicate that they are explicitly excluding sarcasm from the scenario.
Though agreed that a good sarcastic or sardonic joke can be a great callout.
Nah. Jokes are funny.
It’s just a dog whistle and you know exactly the kind of people who do this and what party they vote for
If I say some fucked up shit as a joke, it’s only because I failed to see how it was fucked up. Or I’m being sarcastic/facetious. If the former, and it’s brought to my attention, I’ll apologize and not repeat it. If the latter… 🤷🏻♂️
However, I once repeated a joke told to me by my transfem sister that she learned in her trans support group and was called a transphobe on Reddit. Sometimes shit doesn’t matter, they just wanna be angry.
Lots of jokes can be understood in different ways. On the internet nobody can tell if you are sincere, while a trans person at a trans support group definitely is. If I repeat an alt right talking point to my buddy, he knows I’m being sarcastic and I’m making fun of them. But you can’t tell if I’m alt right or not. Kinda sad you actually have to explain this.
Yeah the sort of jokes from trans support groups often wind into the “this is probably not the sort of joke I’m comfortable hearing a random cis person tell”. Lots of jokes about dark aspects of our lives
So … Harley’s beliefs are a joke. Got it!
If a comment is funny to the person giving it and offensive to the target it’s not a joke, it’s just bigotry.
TIL there’s a term for this: Schrödinger’s joke
I recently watched a short film, Place des fêtes (spoilers)
::: Place des fêtes
The scene in the end, a group of friends One guy steals a sad guy’s guitar,
Another guy tells him “He’s just kidding” as he’s making chase
A third guy stabs him in the belly

Jokes can hurt. Sometimes the joke is malicious. Sometimes the joke hurts a lot -

I can’t figure out how to mark a spoiler, the spoiler button on the jerboa app doesn’t work out
It’s missing the word spoiler between the ::: and the header
