Racist jokes aren’t funny Homophobic jokes aren’t funny Sexist jokes aren’t funny Transphobic jokes aren’t funny Oh yes, I have a stick up my ass and no sense of humor. I’m such a buzz kill for not letting you enjoy your latent bigotry under the guise of calling it humor. And yes I know, your brother’s girlfriend’s cousin had a friend who was a gay person of color and they just thought it was hilarious so I should just loosen up because after all, isn’t it a huge sign of progress? Like how will the world heal if we can’t poke fun at each other, and by fun I mean when the privileged majority can continue mocking minorities and perpetuating stereotypes. Prick.

No, you do not find them funny. You have no right to dictate what jokes others can tell and what jokes other people find funny.

I laugh my ass off at biphobic jokes, does that make me biphobic? Because explaining that I’m biphobic would be hard to explain to my friends that I just came out as bi too.

People make jokes about themselves all the time, that doesn’t mean they hate themselves. I make fun of my friends all the time, and they make fun of me, but that doesn’t mean we hate each other.

It means we are mature enough to recognize our differences, and intelligent enough to recognize the difference between a joke and true opinion.
