I believe that when it comes to topics like rape, suicide, etc. people need to learn to take a joke. CMV

Before you jump down my throat, please read this, and if there is any ambiguity, please ask me to clear it up before you say I'm a terrible person or something. I think there is a difference between cruelty and humor. Humor lifts our spirits and let's us not see the terrible reality of some topics which psychologically is beneficial because we cannot always be thinking morbidly. Being able to joke about something doesn't mean someone doesn't care or doesn't think it is terrible. No topics should be off limits for jokes. I was affected by 9/11 by losing an uncle, yet i still joke about it. CMV on no-limit humor.

Humor can be cruel, and cruelty can be humorous; there are no bright lines that separate them, and its the listener who gets to make that decision, not the teller of the joke.

It's not that "people need to learn to take a joke".  It's that *people who want to walk the line between cruelty and humor need to learn to be ok with others finding them cruel.*  Big difference.
