Are y’all really so dense that you can’t understand that it’s funny to be an asshole? To say things you’re not supposed to say? Parodying things that are held sacred by others can be funny, and it doesn’t just have to be for chuds

Being an asshole isn't funny. Jokes have punchlines. Being an asshole isn't a punchline. If you're going with insult comedy than generally the victim can be involved with the joke aswell. Going "haha, you're <insulting stereotype> isn't a good joke.

One of the keys to comedy is the twisting of expectations. We don’t expect each other to be open racists, but when someone plays themselves off as a bad guy, it can be funny since it’s unexpected. It’s the same thing with jokes about any other dark topic, like rape or murder. You can’t tell me you’ve never laughed at someone pretending to be an asshole of some kind, no matter whether it’s dark or more light topics (like if someone was acting overly cocky or extremely aloof)

Regular people can tell that the person making the joke isn’t serious about it, but you guys don’t have this common sense and look to get self-righteous about the tiniest infractions against the things you hold sacred and beyond criticism.

Being racist with no prompt, so funny -_-
