I love how there are people who thinks that you can say whatever you want, even the most atrocuious thing, and get away with it by raising a "joke" sign. I think I'll get one myself, it is such a powerful thing to have

Your post begs the question: do you simply misunderstand the positions held here on the comedians and jokes - do you think we mean "saying whatever you want, even the most atrocuious thing, and get away with it by raising a "joke" sign?" Or is this mere dishonesty, and you're straw-manning your opposition because you don't have any good arguments for your position or against what we've actually presented?

Second (and just out of interest): do you think that writing your post sarcastically makes you appear more clever?



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

1) Tell me how I misunderstood things here and how, in short, they can't be summed up like that

2) It cleverly calls more attention to what I said. It clearly worked with you

This sounds like you're in favor of some kind of boundary, Jumpin.

I think this goes both ways. I literally just said a few posts ago. I think people are talking about very different things. 

Based on how you talk about things, I don't even think you're talking about the same lack of boundaries that some people that seem to agree with you, are actually talking about.

I though the same

And yeah. This whole thing might be very subjective and ends up with some people talking about apples while others talk about oranges

Punching down is bad. But I decide what is up and what is down.

Hurting peoples feelings is bad. But I decide when peoples feelings have gotten hurt.

Satire only works against power. But I decide who is powerful enough.

It is funny when group As feelings get hurt. See how angry they are? But it should be illegal if group Bs feelings get hurt. See how much they are victims?

I also decide on punishments. If you are a bully, you are breaking the law and you should be treated like a criminal.

Hate speech is not free speech. And (surprise) I decide what hate is.

Nope. Anything goes. Don't like it, don't listen. I'm going to see the fantastic David Cross TONIGHT! Hopefully, any topic is on the table tonight!

Seems like it fits Runa's argument pretty well ...
