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?

Oh there definitely is a line, but sometimes being a dick is funny. There are some funny as hell insults out there, but they rely on you being a dick. Being a dick in the context of comedy isn’t genuine dickishness though.

You were fine up until that last sentence. Do you really believe there is no overlap in that Venn diagram?
