I get it. Some jokes don’t hit or just fall flat on their faces. But that doesn’t mean topics should be avoided.

Your overly-simplistic take of "No subject should be avoided." It's missing the point.

Being an asshole bigot just plain isn't funny. It's just being an asshole bigot.

Joking about controversial topics doesn’t make you a bigot. I mean, they’re called jokes for a reason. They aren’t meant to be taken seriously. I can joke about Islam, and not be an islamophobe (which I’m not) because they are jokes.

And also, it doesn’t really matter if you yourself don’t find the joke funny. Other people may, so it’s not fair to curb your comedy routine to appeal to the few who would find it offensive.

Or maybe you could just tell jokes that aren't lazy, prejudiced and stupid. That's always an option.

And yes, you can tell jokes that aren’t offensive, that’s fine too. But you should be allowed to tell offensive jokes as well. There’s a market for offensive jokes.

At what point does it stop being comedy and start being just a fucking dick? Or do you not think we should even draw that line at all?
