Good humor is topical.
I am quite confused. Can someone please explain why there seems to be hate towards those who like "dark humor"? I can understand that some try to hide behind the name when in reality they just want to bad-mouth minorities or their views, however I don't see a problem with dark humor by itself.
I may be missing something since a lot of the comments and the post itself mentions US politics where there is a lot of tensions.
Edgy humor has a butt to the joke, and/or the joke is made due to someone's misfortune, at their expense. It's inherently problematic in the sense that there's a risk of offense to those who have been victims of similar misfortune. The solution, of course, is to be funny enough that the humor overpowers the offense and/or doesn't focus the humor on being mean to the victims
Indeed. You can laugh about anything, but not with everyone. At least, that's how I see it.
(Of course laughing here is meant as laughing at a joke and not laughing at the misfortune of others).
Dark humor itself isn’t the issue, however a majority of the people who claim they have “dark humor” are actually just massive bigots who don’t want to be called out so they mask their hate as thinly-veiled “jokes”
I can definitely see that being a thing sadly.
So the post and comments refer to people who act in such a way mixed with the US politics because of how certain people make "jokes" about minorities that are oppressed and might be oppressed further in the worst case scenario, right?

When did the GOP get so woke? Those cancel culture snowflakes can't take a joke.

Political: Making fun of Donald Trump or Joe Biden
Not political: Making fun of literally all women
Chud brains are the smoothest objects on the planet
Or Joe Biden?
You think libs don't get entirely bent out of shape anytime anyone dares make fun of their Lord And Savior Blue MAGA Joe Biden?
