    I think humour is in itself quite subjective. It wasn't so long ago that many comedy shows used to make fun of pretty much everybody from all sorts of different backgrounds and walks of life. I know a number of British TV shows that did just that.

    The policing of humour, to me, is much along the same lines of someone saying that because they don't like eating meat everybody else should cease to do it as well.

    I find crude humour to be crude and dislike it. With that said, I've never felt inclined to police what other people find funny and so I'd maybe cringe and then shrug and go about my day as normal.

    Of course, with the terms of service being written the way that they are it's a gamble to joke about anything around these parts - so for that reason, I'd urge others not to do so.

    There is a difference between jokes involving racism that Dave Chappelle makes and George Carlin made and between essentially just saying the n-word and laughing at it for example.
    When you just repeat something like that over and over again and laugh at it then at some point I have to question why you think it's funny, there's no actual clever joke there.

    Usually when there is no actual thought behind the joke like the '' apache helicopter '' jokes it just boils down to the person being Transphobic and that's why they think it's funny.

    Reposting a bad joke from a decade ago isn't funny. I mean, if you're a middle schooler, maybe.

    Honestly, just grow a pair and use a slur at that point.
