One day we’ll be ready to discuss how Comedians use humor to demean, belittle and demoralize marginalized folks like Women, Trans folk and The Disabled community... it’s not we can’t take a joke, it’s how y’all dehumanizing jokes and laughs come at the expense of them typically
Yeah we know you had great intentions with the joke but like my PawPaw use to say “the pathway to hell is paved with good intentions” means y’all humorist intentions doesn’t negate how the intentions leads to bad shit
It’s 2020 and y’all still making fun of the same disenfranchised communities from the 60s... damn the comedy and what we consider funny has to evolve from shaming Women, Trans people and the disabled community.
Our society has deemed the disabled community so exposable and disposable that I’m not even sure of how to refer to the community https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🚫" title=""Betreten verboten!"-Zeichen" aria-label="Emoji: "Betreten verboten!"-Zeichen">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="🧢" title="Kappe" aria-label="Emoji: Kappe"> But I’m familiar with hella ableist jokes which shows how many of us orient ourselves to that community
