When did the GOP get so woke? Those cancel culture snowflakes can't take a joke.
- 👂🔫👨‍🚀
  Always has been
  
  In fact, they were the ones that invented cancel culture. Even helped the forming of the annoying leftist callouts by accident (they just wanted to point out leftist/liberal hypocrisy, often for them to get away with way worse things, then leftists/liberals took it to the next level, sometimes they outright manipulate who should be the callout's target to incite infights, destroy alliances, or just to see someone who's "deserving" to suffer).
  
  This one made my day. And I'm glad I scrolled back to find the coincidental poetry mentioned below and noticed the username 😆
- Nice rhyme. Make it into a rap like those loser maga rappers but clowning on them. Actually, don’t. They are cringe.
  
  Huh. Didn't even intend that, it's like I'm a poet, but I don't even realize it.

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?

Unlike you snowflakes, I'm not so easily triggered!
WHY YOU MAKE FUN OF DONALD??? MODS MODS HELP!
- But it's not a cult guys

Trump is cancer. But having Van Gogh memes and so on rolling on the socials just few hours after he was almost shot in he head an some guys end up dining was quite a shit-show to look at.
Nevertheless to quote Trump regarding the victim of mass shooting: "Get over it"
- I dont know why this would be surprising. The man is a literal death dealer rapist who laughs at and mocks the misfortune of others. I wouldn't ever expect any semblance of respect or sympathy towards him from the general public, not even for a second.
  People are going to roast him every chance that they get, and I think it would be naive to act like he doesn't deserve the treatment.
- God Americans are so sensitive, the only dead person in that story is the shooter. Donald will get over it
  
  And a firefighter shielding his family

Good humor is topical.

- The most disturbing thing I've ever seen in this week

Yo, I always see this cartoon in memes. What is it?
- Invincible, really great show on Amazon. Second season recently was released.
  
  Was annoyed they broke the second season up like they did, but it was pretty good. Can't wait for season 3!
- Invincible. It's pretty good, but really violent
- Invincible.

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.
- 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?
  
  "No see the joke is that I unironically believe that you are inferior and should be treated worse than the dog I abuse because of my feelings of inadequacy, based solely on the fact that you are a homosexual" - Worst Sonic Character, Boomer The MAGA Hat
  
  I would say that's a very small minority, not a majority.
- It’s not against dark humor. It’s against what you identified: people hiding behind it or qualifying their bigotry as dark humor when they’re really just assholes.
  My humor is dark af and I take no offense because this isn’t about that.
  
  I was just confused and not sure wether it was or not. Thanks to the clarifications of you and others I now know.
- 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).
- Think shitty crybaby "comedians" who say "you can't make a joke anymore" because all their jokes are ~~edgy~~ bigoted garbage

Me when people make jokes against minorities instead of trump:

Man. Even if I DID think the whole "trans women are really men amirite LULZ" was funny at some point, it's been their #OneJoke for like a decade now.
I love Tim Minchin, but if every comedian I followed only sang The Pope Song I'd be pretty fucking tired of it pretty fucking quick (or insert whatever song here that's just stuck in my head at the moment lol)
- Thank You, God is a banger too.
  
  While there's a lot of bangers, I'm probably most fond of Cheese overall. I'm a simple man, the more resources you throw at a bit the happier I am. Hiring an orchestra to sing about cheese is basically peak comedy to me. :P

Any of the "dark humour" places are always about racism and pro xenophobia instead of the terrible sex and/or dead baby jokes you might expect.

What do you mean, my dark humor is wrong?
- Looking at this right when I was about to put the phone down and go to bed was unfortunate

white humor

Tragedy is great fodder for comedy. There’s just a big difference between, “I’m laughing because this hasn’t happened to me” and “I’m laughing because this HAS happened to me and it’s better than crying.”

OP, that fucking text insertion is something to be proud of. Real quality stuff.
- Doesn't matter had sex

"biden crime family" is perfectly acceptable to say
but comparing trump to hitler? Nah completely and morally off the table, ignore the fact that we're literally calling the biden family a fucking mafia. And when we do unironically say it, it's also satire, so you can't complain.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
To kill Trump.
Am I doing this right?

What is a "dark humor" mfer ?

It's the definition of comedy used by everyone except bullies, bigots, and other general jerks, so that works for me
