In fact, they were the ones that invented cancel culture. Even helped the forming of the annoying leftist callouts by accident (they just wanted to point out leftist/liberal hypocrisy, often for them to get away with way worse things, then leftists/liberals took it to the next level, sometimes they outright manipulate who should be the callout's target to incite infights, destroy alliances, or just to see someone who's "deserving" to suffer).
Trump is cancer. But having Van Gogh memes and so on rolling on the socials just few hours after he was almost shot in he head an some guys end up dining was quite a shit-show to look at.
Nevertheless to quote Trump regarding the victim of mass shooting: "Get over it"
I dont know why this would be surprising. The man is a literal death dealer rapist who laughs at and mocks the misfortune of others. I wouldn't ever expect any semblance of respect or sympathy towards him from the general public, not even for a second.
People are going to roast him every chance that they get, and I think it would be naive to act like he doesn't deserve the treatment.
Dark humor itself isn’t the issue, however a majority of the people who claim they have “dark humor” are actually just massive bigots who don’t want to be called out so they mask their hate as thinly-veiled “jokes”
Yep. It's been a thing for a long time now, at least since 2001, but "it's just a joke" became a way for bigots to disguise their hatred, and was picked up by "edgy" teenagers in places like 4Chan...which would later reveal as they got older that they were actually just bigots themselves all along or the joking had normalized that mentality in them to the point where they started believing it. It's definitely not just an American thing, but Republicans in the US tend to be extremely sensitive and volatile emotionally (despite calling everybody else "liberal snowflakes" for how easily offended they claim they are) while being very emboldened by the events of the past decade or so to openly spew their hatred and bigotry.

I wouldn't call it a 'very small minority', personally.
Most people who actually have dark humor don't really have to bring it up in conversation that often, because they aren't assholes who use it as an excuse to say slurs and hateful/hurtful things.
The people who are normally quick to let you know that they have dark humor are the ones who use it as an excuse to say a bunch of gamer words, at least from my experience growing up.
It’s not against dark humor. It’s against what you identified: people hiding behind it or qualifying their bigotry as dark humor when they’re really just assholes.
My humor is dark af and I take no offense because this isn’t about that.
Man. Even if I DID think the whole "trans women are really men amirite LULZ" was funny at some point, it's been their #OneJoke for like a decade now.
I love Tim Minchin, but if every comedian I followed only sang The Pope Song I'd be pretty fucking tired of it pretty fucking quick (or insert whatever song here that's just stuck in my head at the moment lol)
While there's a lot of bangers, I'm probably most fond of Cheese overall. I'm a simple man, the more resources you throw at a bit the happier I am. Hiring an orchestra to sing about cheese is basically peak comedy to me. :P
"biden crime family" is perfectly acceptable to say
but comparing trump to hitler? Nah completely and morally off the table, ignore the fact that we're literally calling the biden family a fucking mafia. And when we do unironically say it, it's also satire, so you can't complain.
When did the GOP get so woke? Those cancel culture snowflakes can't take a joke.

This one made my day. And I'm glad I scrolled back to find the coincidental poetry mentioned below and noticed the username 😆
Hello, sister...
Nice rhyme. Make it into a rap like those loser maga rappers but clowning on them. Actually, don’t. They are cringe.
Huh. Didn't even intend that, it's like I'm a poet, but I don't even realize it.
I’m a poet, but I don’t even

God Americans are so sensitive, the only dead person in that story is the shooter. Donald will get over it
And a firefighter shielding his family
I still never got a clear answer on who shot the firefighter, he didn't seem close to the podium
Good humor is topical.
Me when people make jokes against minorities instead of trump:

There's a great stand-up bit about it by James Acaster from 2019 called What's Wrong? Too Challenging For You!?

Think shitty crybaby "comedians" who say "you can't make a joke anymore" because all their jokes are
edgybigoted garbageYo, I always see this cartoon in memes. What is it?
Invincible, really great show on Amazon. Second season recently was released.
Was annoyed they broke the second season up like they did, but it was pretty good. Can't wait for season 3!
Yea, it sounded like they weren't finished on animation for the second half. I'm sure S3 will be here in 3-4 quick years!
Invincible.
What do you mean, my dark humor is wrong?
Looking at this right when I was about to put the phone down and go to bed was unfortunate

Thank You, God is a banger too.

OP, that fucking text insertion is something to be proud of. Real quality stuff.

It's the definition of comedy used by everyone except bullies, bigots, and other general jerks, so that works for me
What is a "dark humor" mfer ?
This isn't comedy though. Trump is powerful. Minorites are not.
Comedy punches up. Insecure bullies punch down.
That's your definition of comedy. Comedy isn't just some kind of tool to only make fun of the upper class. You must be thinking of cabaret artists.
It can be used to even give the less fortunate something to laugh about regarding themselves. Nobody and nothing is above jokes, IMO.
To me, it stops being funny when the comedian either:
I'd tell you a dark joke about trump, but unfortunately he spray tanned it blonde
Don't you have an appointment to shit your pants in solidarity or something?
Is that a joke? I shit my pants daily.
And proud of it it seems ...
Extremely. I don't have a stick up my ass.
