I don't think you guys understand the impact of jokes when you have some trauma in your history. I left work early today because I almost broke down.

This just isn't a joke.

Yet (though without posting a picture) you just used Randall (from recess) as a meme. I am confused, partly because I've never seen Recess and can only read on the wiki that this character is a snitch and nobody likes him.

Maybe because it isn't anyone else's business. Maybe just because.
If my specific trauma is being made the butt of a joke, I'm probably going to have a bad time.
Nobody wants their personal tragedy to be fodder for a cheap laugh.
However, many people who suffer silently use humor to keep from breaking down and crying.
I recognize this and appreciate them. For many victims, being able to find humor in dark places can be the sturdiest step to getting over and moving beyond [event].
The funniest people I know and have known have nearly all been the most damaged by trauma and refused to let it dominate their being.
If a topic related to my particular brand of trauma has comedic potential, I also appreciate how it can be finessed to help bring a fleeting moment of hahas and endorphins to people in pain, and with that said what can be said on stage at a comedy show (anything) shouldn't necessarily find its way into a serious discussion on the topic or ever be quoted when drafting up policy.

I appreciate dark humor and honest, uncomfortable comedy. I cant say if I'll laugh or groan every time, Idk how I'll react.
Case-by-case is how I evaluate such happenings, if you're brave enough to try tackling it then hats off to ya but you better not be a hack.
Also, I sure af wouldn't fault anyone for not wanting to be party to such humor, especially in a serious setting (or what should be one) like this thread. Kinda goes without saying, to be sympathetic you don't start talking shit in a thread about a deluge of sex assault revelations.

I will, carefully, defend the notion that dark and *inappropriate humor* can be done innocuously, to spectacular effect, without malice.
The key distinction to make is what may be *inappropriate humor* for a performing comedian can be acceptable due to context,
but a sworn official, authority figure (like the highest office) it is always inappropriate, always unacceptable to joke about *this topic*.

no some of us understand. I really haven't found a way to really truthfull reply to this topic without insulting everyone so I'm not. But I agree with everything you've said so far.
