Well, that’s fairly dense. Kind of how out of touch Right wingers are with humor. The comedy in victimization is never laughing at someone who is characteristically down, but “at the expense”, to borrow your phrase, of someone brought down from a superior position. We don’t laugh at a blind person walking into a door; we do at the President walking through the wrong door. Nor, taking your other poor example, should anyone be expected to find it a good joke when someone mocks his wife.Neo » 15 Oct 2022, 1:51 pm » wrote: ↑ Liberals use to have a sense of humor, it was conservative Christians with sticks up their butts. That role has been completely reversed with the advent of woke and vicarious outrage. Most comedy is at the expense of a victim of some sort, the source of humor is often observation of differences. This cannot be tolerated by modern progressives thus humor is seen as victimization of disadvantaged people. They might laugh, like Will Smith did when Chris Rock compared his bald assed wife to GI Jane. He laughed and then remembered he had to be upset.
