"it's funny because it's true"
Pretty much all of comedy works because the joke is applicable to how people understand reality.
You talk about liking outrage comedy. Outrage comedy only works because of reality. You can't make outrage comedy about blorgflobs, because that's meaningless.
You have to poke fun at people's real insecurities or real life challenges.

If you were bothering to understand my perspective, instead of getting worked up, you'd understand that I'm not in favor of banning anything.
