@abucci Hmm maybe let’s be a little more gentle 🤗 – @thecanine@twtxt.net I’m not completely sure of your background or what you mean by “protected from humor” when that humor involves or targets a group of people, individuals or events. But…

Let’s use the word “making fun of”:

“Make fun of” an individual can cause emotional harm. At worse it can cause bodily harm in terms of suicide or psychological harm in terms of depressions. Humor can be both a tool for good as well as a weapon for bad.

The same applies to groups of people, no matter their circumstances, beliefs, etc.

In California for example I discovered that even “making fun of myself” (being blind) was even considered illegal so I had to be careful about my own sense of humor when stupid shit would happen to me because of my lack of good eyesight.

Its important to understand and have empathy towards others, that they may not find the same things you do as “funny”, but sometimes quite offensive or even hurtful.
