no laughing matter

Currently listening to: All of the Lights – Kanye West feat. Rihanna, Kid Cudi

Is there something you don’t think should be joked about?

Prompt snagged from: TCMC

I know humor can be a coping mechanism, and some people use it to deal with pain. But I think there’s a line, and some topics hit too close to home for too many people:

  • War or conflict
  • 9/11
  • Cancer
  • Suicide
  • Mass shootings
  • Poverty
  • Colonialism
  • Slavery
  • Domestic violence
  • Death
  • Medical conditions/diseases
  • Abuse of any kind

But we are a very unserious generation, hence I’m sure there’s a meme for that.

    Humor can be tricky sometimes, indeed, especially if we dont know the background

    Definitely memes but you know dark humor is good too, oops, it should not be offensive and hurtful.
