    Is it okay to make a joke about keeping queers on a leash during straight events?

      I can’t believe that making a joke about a privileged majority is different than making that joke about a persecuted minority. I want to speak to the manager!

          Look, in general mean jokes about people aren’t good, but are you all seriously pretending there’s not a difference between these two scenarios?

          Because I know you all know there is a difference between punching up and punching down when it comes to joke telling.

          Saying “yeah but if you turned it around to the less privlige group it’d be racist/sexist/hompobic/ect” is the exact same thing that affirmative action opponents say “oh if I only gave scholarships to white people its racist.” like, yeah, context matters.

          As a final thought?

          your comment is literally… “oh my feelings dont matter? Dick.”

          Like, your feelings are hurt so youre name calling? Okay?
