Yeah, I’ll take the evidence of a successful comedian making these jokes over the rantings of some random online.

— Making fun of ‘feminazis’ is played out- its boring comedy.

Your opinion.

Comedy 101: making “people” laugh.

It’s not just about you.

You can certainly say: I don’t find that funny.

Telling others what is funny… is just preaching…

This is where the old joke about there not being a comedy section in the feminist bookstore comes from. People preaching what is funny and what is not.

If I laugh. It is funny.

Comedians obviously want to make lots of people laugh, not just ‘progressives’.

Agreed. Pointing out that the emperor has no clothes is edgy. Pointing out that a poor person has no clothes just makes you an asshole.

It’s not about whether we should laugh at them or find them funny – even a rape joke has the potential to be hilarious – this is about whether he should be telling the jokes. Its obvious they fell flat because the audience wasnt laughing. People don’t prrtend not to find stuff funny, have you ever managed to stifle a laugh at a good joke? Making fun of ‘feminazis’ is played out- its boring comedy. ‘Aim up’ isn’t even about liberals or censorship, it’s comedy 101.

If you think humour is about what you ‘should’ laugh at… you’re missing quite a lot. Humour is much more complex than that… and so are human beings. We often laugh hardest, in spite of ourselves. And what we laugh at often tells us quite a bit. Aim for understanding not ideological purity.
