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.

Something being a joke does not make it either funny or okay.

Well I guess I must be a horrible person for laughing at fucked up jokes then? Laughing doesn’t equal agreeing with the topic or the joke. Laughing is a reaction to something that could be uncomfortable.

Laughter is far more than that. And don't start this victim card shit. You just said something ignorant and are being corrected on it. Don't be a big baby about it.

I’d also like to know how laughter is more than that.

It's a social mechanism. Most pack animals have some variation on it, a mechanism that breaks tension, releases calming neurotransmitters and hormones and provides us with a social bonding exercise. And people who bond by punching down are just being tools.

I get that. But what about people who find punching down in the context of comedy funny? Comedy is a very relative art. What’s funny to you may be cringy as hell to me. And what’s funny to me may be extremely offensive to you.
