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

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.

[-] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

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

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"

[-] TopRamenBinLaden@sh.itjust.works 14 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] Miaou@jlai.lu 7 points 1 month ago

God Americans are so sensitive, the only dead person in that story is the shooter. Donald will get over it

Yo, I always see this cartoon in memes. What is it?

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

Invincible, really great show on Amazon. Second season recently was released.

[-] bassomitron@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Was annoyed they broke the second season up like they did, but it was pretty good. Can't wait for season 3!

[-] Frozengyro@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

Yea, it sounded like they weren't finished on animation for the second half. I'm sure S3 will be here in 3-4 quick years!

[-] axont@hexbear.net 12 points 1 month ago

Invincible. It's pretty good, but really violent

Me when people make jokes against minorities instead of trump:

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 14 points 1 month ago

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.

[-] BluJay320@lemmy.blahaj.zone 50 points 1 month ago

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”

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 1 month ago

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?

Yep. It's been a thing for a long time now, at least since 2001, but "it's just a joke" became a way for bigots to disguise their hatred, and was picked up by "edgy" teenagers in places like 4Chan...which would later reveal as they got older that they were actually just bigots themselves all along or the joking had normalized that mentality in them to the point where they started believing it. It's definitely not just an American thing, but Republicans in the US tend to be extremely sensitive and volatile emotionally (despite calling everybody else "liberal snowflakes" for how easily offended they claim they are) while being very emboldened by the events of the past decade or so to openly spew their hatred and bigotry.

There's a great stand-up bit about it by James Acaster from 2019 called What's Wrong? Too Challenging For You!?

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

Thanks for the helpful answer. I'll have a look at that stand-up.

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.

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 1 month ago

I was just confused and not sure wether it was or not. Thanks to the clarifications of you and others I now know.

[-] NeelixBiederman@hexbear.net 6 points 1 month ago

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

[-] Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

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).

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?

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)

[-] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 4 points 1 month ago

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.”

[-] Sorgan71@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

OP, that fucking text insertion is something to be proud of. Real quality stuff.
