My attitude is if it’s funny I laugh at it, whether offensive or not. However I recognize in this day and age there is a certain sort that will be offended. I caveat for no other reason than to acknowledge that I am aware of all the downvotes I am going to get…and don’t care.

So brave! But seriously, how can you post so confidently that funny is somehow objective and that you get it when others don’t? That in itself is a joke, so we’ll-played, I guess?
Of course humor is objective. Do you think honestly it isn’t? Pretty sure there is no “universal humor truth” out there.

Also not sure what’s brave about posting about laughing about something possibly controversial when you don’t care about the consequences. I don’t care if I am down or up voted on anything I post. My self worth is not tied to any social scoring system.
