Humor about race or gender in the post-Trump era is typically about expressing racism or anti-trans sentiments as a means of virtue signaling they are MAGA. The racism is the joke. The transphobia is the joke.
And if you don’t get it. You’re not part of the MAGA movement (and therefore, according to them, an NPC).
I appreciate a lot of race or gender humor this decade. It just takes some genuine inside knowledge to pull off and that’s not what edgelords are about. Their humor is for reducing complexity and making people alien.
Sounds like you’re confusing “clearly conservative” people with “I have a dark sense of humor” people but I’m not sure there’s much overlap, if any.
Way back in the day, when I still (barely) used Facebook (might’ve been my late teen years or early 20s, so early-mid last decade), a friend invited me to a group for “dark humor”. Pretttttty much every 3rd post was about black people. You can get away with it a bit easier here because we only have like 3 of them, but it did not take long to figure out that “dark humor” for these people means “I’m allowed to make fun of minorities because it’s a joke”. I was expecting much wilder jokes, but nah. Garden variety racism.
Yeah, that sounds like a teenager thing tbh. Maybe they used that term as cover, but I’ve personally not dealt with that, hence my reaction
You are fortunate. It’s an annoying genre of person
Why don’t churches allow WiFi?
Tap for spoiler
They don’t want to compete with an invisible power that actually does something
That’s awesome! Thanks!
I’m stealing this thank you.
But how many of them does it take to change a light bulb?
None, they cant stop chortling once the bulb goes out. Someone else has to do it.
joke about killing police officers and listen to a chorus of ‘not cool bro’ regardless of your gender
What’s a good joke that would upset the “yell-at-the-strawman-inside-my-truck” crowd?
Make Charlie Kirk the punchline
That’s going for the jugular
Well he did that all by himself all all the time! *badumtiss*
I’m not sure internally I ever moved past my edgy humor highschool self who made immature, sarcastic, and super past the line jokes
I’m also a damn dirty commie so yeah I’d laugh at it
I still enjoy many dark jokes internally too, but I definitely don’t share them with as wide an audience as I used to- I’ll make a joke about priests molesting kids to my husband, close friends, or immediate family, but I know that I can’t generally know who has been impacted by that, and I’m not trying to fuck up someone’s day with a flip joke.
I also don’t enjoy dead baby jokes nearly as much as I used to, because I’ve now known several people who’ve had a late miscarriage or stillbirth, or whose children died, and I can’t separate the punchline from the image of their faces while grieving or talking about the loss. I still like dark humor about things that directly impacted me, but for things that only happened to loved ones, I can’t see the humor anymore.
Unless they were actually in the military and saw combat, strangely enough.
No no, they’re not considering suicide, they’re just applying to pilot those F-18 submarines!
If F-18’s aren’t meant to be in the water, why does the navy keep throwing them into the ocean?
i thought they started dunking f35s lately
Unlike you snowflakes I’m not so easily triggered sees a transperson becomes irate and erect
MAYBE I AM, BUT I KNOW HOW TO DEAL WITH IT LIKE A MATURE ADULT.
put on your latest angry song [currently Wage Wars Get Rich Die Handsome by The Mountain Goats] and go punch a bag of cat food. what did you expect me to say?
(And ashamed (because he thought his momma spanked the gay out of him))
“Netanyahu? More like Genocidetoyou, amirite?”
“wtf bro that’s antisemitic!!!”
I’m about to say something so blatantly antisemitic that it qualifies me to be Head of the SS.
It is wrong to murder children.
You… MONSTER!
Make a joke about Trump and suddenly they want to fist-fight you.
Such fragile snowflakes.
When Trump asks “What is a woman?” It has nothing to do with transpeople, he’s just mistaken 12 for the age of consent again.
😂 No suddenly they want to talk a lot about fist fighting and how they can’t because they’d probably kill you and forced laugh their way back to their safe space
They just want an excuse to punch down and feel powerful.
People get mad when I decide to act on “I choose the lives if Iranian civilians over the lives of US soldiers”. There’s no joke there but I don’t see people joking about civilians getting to live another day because troops moral is so low
Whenever you make jokes about the military you always start with the marine core. Why? Beca by the time you’re done they’ve understood the first line.

Love this ‘song’. Full of armed services jokes. What does MARINE stand for? Muscles Are Required Intelligence Not Essential.
TBF I always enjoyed the USMC’s humor towards themselves. I don’t think anyone burns them harder they do and they go way low, like having drill chants about disintegrating marriages and Jody fucking their wives
Very interesting to hear about how certain institutions assimilate their members. I’d say that kind of joking is preparing them to be less emotional about their situation since they’re all going through it.
I’m very curious about what medical schools do to turn people into highly respected doctors and make them believe they can work well without proper sleep.
Careful when joking about religion on Piefed, you’ll get slaughtered … with upvotes.
God is either evil, impotent, or imaginary. That is the only explanation for the suffering in the world.
the explanation for why my god allows suffering is my god is distracted trying to find their lost teapot. it makes tea just the way they like it. and yes, they are imaginary but that doesn’t make them any less shut uppy.
It might be low hanging fruit but I’m not above it. Though there is a Catholic guy around who hasn’t learned to not provoke the hornet nest yet and I try to be nice to him
