Replying to @sammavs @marcmaron
if they double down and demonstrate no effort or capability to see the outcome of their joke as harmful, then yeah. Everyone deserves a chance to overcome ignorance.

And you don’t get to decide what jokes get told. If you’re hurt that’s your problem

Make whatever joke you want mate, just don't start crying about freedom of speech when the consequences come for you.

Ah yes, lets let an angry, emotionally crippled mob decide who gets to keep their job and what jokes are funny or not. What could POSSIBLY go wrong. Take a joke, don't come after a person's livelihood because he hurt your feelings.

If you read my initial response you might be able to glean that I'm in favor of people NOT losing their jobs or livelihoods. What I am in favor of, is not making vulnerable people the target of cheap laughs and further marginalization. We can do better.

I reject the idea that we need to break people into groups of marginalized and non-marginalized people. Either everyone's ok to joke about or nobody is. Freedom of speech is absolute the moment it becomes otherwise is the first step on the road to slavery.

This is like saying that either everything’s pink or nothing is, or that everything’s funny or nothing is. Nuance exists, dude!
