Yay having to unfriend people on Facebook (ﾉ￣д￣)ﾉ
Why do people think that humor being something important for people that there should be no limits mean that it’s okay to ignore actual people’s concerns regarding that humor? Why is humor exempt from critique? The logic just doesn’t follow. If you’re humor is hurting someone, why is it so defensible? Why would you say that when people approached you about making a joke about ‘coming out’ when you’re not queer is uncomfortable to them that you say, “I’m not going to say sorry your offended,” go on to talk about said importance of humor (obviously more important than all those people), and end with “I’m sorry I offended you?”
And then in the comments, when a queer person calls you out, you and your friends got upset with her. I cannot see how he does not realize that he is championing himself and only himself. He wants to keep the veneer of a good ally, but he proved his true colors when he pretty much publicly said, ‘I’m ignoring all of you.’ (•᷅д•᷄)
Well they’re not actually defending their humor at all. They’re defending their moral standing. They perceive criticism if their actions as criticism of their character. How dare you imply I am a bad person for thinking this is funny! I’m not a bad person! You are the one who is over sensitive!
If they admit that their joke is hurtful, they must also admit to being an asshole who tells hurtful jokes.
Yeah, you nailed it. From all conversations I’ve had with this kid, he’s never been able to separate himself from the conversation. I’ve tried to get him there, but I clearly don’t have the skills or words. But I’ve had to call him out before because a friend of mine was understandably disturbed by their exchanges and he’s just proved to me I can’t trust him to never do that again.
