Things like that are not a "joke". People who "joke" like that at my place of work find themself getting escorted off by the police with a disorderly conduct ticket. Being rude to other people is not funny. If you friends find something like that funny just keep stuff like that between you and your friends. If you do that to a person who you do not know personally, it just rude and uncalled for, in fact that is the very definition of bullying. |
Thing is that this is not just an offensive joke vs. somebody they don't know, it is not vs. just anybody who they know/believe to be religious,
it is in the context of Wagner Paiva starting multiple threads on this forum where he debates topic of religious belief with people,
if Wagner Paiva didn't feel comfortable discussing his beliefs like that, he wouldn't have done so...
SO establishing that Wagner himself already introduced that topic to discussion with other posters, they are entitled to joke about it too.
It is not legit to say that Wagner can broach the topic, but others are not even able to comment on that nor take a humorous angle on it.
It honestly is strange to discuss such things on this forum but since Wagner did so in the first place,
he cannot expect special treatment re: jokes about his favorite topic, when people joke about other people's favorite consoles all the time here.
IMHO The joke wasn't aimed at all religious people, although I can see how somebody ignorant of situation might assume that at first glance.
If Wagner himself feels uncomfortable with it, he himself can complain, and perhaps both jokes and discussions of religions should be removed.
