[(Anonymous)]

But the problem - very obviously - is that those people also think the joke is funny and adopt it themselves. That's OP's whole point.

[(Anonymous)]

But then you get into the area where we should never say anything because some idiot is going to take it wrong. Some idiot is always going to take it wrong, and you can't control that.

Kind of like the idiots who thought Blazing Saddles was funny because they kept using the n-word to refer to black people, not realizing it was making fun of stupid racists.

[(Anonymous)]

Idiots are going to misinterpret anything, but we can also talk about jokes being more or less easy to interpret in that way. And if a joke is really easy to reinterpret as being at the expense of victims, it's a problem with the joke. That is a major failure mode of jokes about sensitive topics.

[(Anonymous)]

Yes, definitely. It's all about context and how you construct the joke. Simply going "x topic is off-limits as a joke!" doesn't help things, and neither does being irresponsible thinking you are just proving a point (or just being an asshole who thinks their rights are under attack, depending on some folks).
