in the days before twitter a comedian would try jokes out in front of an audience and if it didn't land they would either change it or throw it away but now comedians :justpost: and if the joke is bad then annoying shitheads Online will debate about it forever and ever and ever

dude writes jokes for a living and sometimes they bomb and i don't see why we need to dismantle the DSA over this

nobody's saying this he's just not very funny hth

The joke isn't at the rape victim. It's that someone is making an ironic joke as though someone would make a joke at a rape victim. It's not what you think it is at all. I laughed extremely hard at the notion of Nick mocking her going YOU WANNA KNOW HOW I GOT THESE EMOTIONAL SCARS?!

THAT joke is funny. An actual joke at a rape victim would not be. It's sad that either you can't tell the difference or you don't care what the difference is.

It's possible to tell the difference, recognize that some (or you yourself) find it funny, and why others might not find it funny at all.

Yeah, definitely. Comedy is 100% subjective; even the most inoffensive of jokes have their audience failures. I just wish people would stop turning jokes into crimes against humanity, though. Raping someone, for instance, kinda a big-deal crime. Making a joke about how it'd be funny if your silly magician act were actually The Joker from TDK, not as egregious on the scale of things that now encompasses rape.
