Author Topic: Is dark humor OK  (Read 2408 times)

It makes you look like a jerk sometimes.

In an ideal world where everyone could put their big boy pants on and laugh at themselves instead of turning everything even remotely offensive into a political argument, yes.

Obviously, the fundamental rules of humor apply. If your joke isn't funny, don't say it.


Comedy = Tragedy + Time

So pretty much dark humor is okay

kinda but whats the point? of course you'd say it's funny because its humor but like. if you're making. a joke that is not.. like.
like you should probably only make dark humor or dark jokes around people who wont beat the forget out of you or start flamin you up for saying it (ive seen this happen)


Dark jokes are fine, just keep it between friends

speaking of dark humor, maybe we should see how espio's doing.

Let's get him to make a dark humor megathread

They are over sensitive if:
The joke is about being fat because that is preventable
The joke is about slavery because that happened long enough that no one alive was affected by it

You are insensitive if:
The joke is about someone's grandmother who died last week because it was recent
The joke is tribal and being told to someone of that race who you hardly know

In a sense it still exists through prostitution and more directly in other countries if I'm not mistaken?

I meant in terms of pre 1865 America

dark humor is totally okay but it's also totally ok to be offended by it. just know your audience. that said, if your audience is bigger there's no way of knowing who's gonna get pissed at you for saying one so don't say that stuff somewhere super public

i'm okay with all of it because none of it applies to me. i can't be offended by much because of my position and i don't really feel bad about that, so i will make jokes but i will also know when to stop if someone asks me to.
