This thread ain't wanky enuff

A lot of gross neckbeards would viciously defend their right to make disgusting rape jokes and whatever other bullshit, using the argument of "anything can be funny" and "with humor nothing is sacred".

...

They may make a slew of other arguments that I don't agree with, I basically agree that with humor nothing is off limits? I don't see why we shouldn't look at jokes on a case-by-case basis. Often times the funniness of a "horrible" joke hinges on acknowledging how horrible the horrible thing is. It's not even the punchline, it's part of building up to a POINT.

But yeah, yeah, humor and rape/the mentally handicapped/dead children/the Holocaust/famine/idk should never be within miles of each other, everything's the same, always.

But I can't say this, because then people will know that I'm a monster. :(

I think the problem is people who believe "with humor, nothing is sacred", but turn around as act as if humor itself is sacred. Just because something might be intended to be funny, doesn't actually make it untouchable by criticism and mockery and rejection from those who weren't amused. These are the same kind of people who think freedom of speech means getting to say whatever they want without anyone saying whatever they want back, so the dissonance isn't surprising.

Oh, I agree. Intention doesn't make a joke funny, or unoffensive. I do think jokes can be inappropriate and offensive. I do think there is a Too Soon rule. Just because you told something in the format of a joke doesn't mean you are excused from criticism. I mean, do bad jokes not exist? What I'm objecting to is the people who reject entire swaths of jokes on principle, regardless of context, intention, or (this will sound absurd, but) the funniness of the joke.

And obviously the "freedom of speech means no one can object to the asinine things I say" people are idiots. There is a reason many of the Humor is Sacred people are fucking douchebags, cause these two crowds tend to run together.
