While I absolutely agree with you, to a point, do you not think the world would be really fuckin boring if it was filled with folk like you?
I'm desensitised enough to have the utter pish ripped out of me and to be able to laugh along with it; do you really think we should all tone down our sense of humour to fit those that have skin as thin as a pound-shop teabag?
If you want to be tolerant, can you not be tolerant of those who appreciate dark humour; that is, the kind of humour that's existed for millennia before you, simply to help people get through tough times?
Just wondering
Of course it would. It would start with societially placed boundaries, then self-placed boundaries, and without pushback it would continue in a loop until comedy was sterile and repetitive.
