Should any subject be outside the scope of humour?

@Reject Although I'm painting a target on myself for saying this, I disagree.

Murder, racism , rape etc

@Thetimetraveler The world is truly fucked if people really believe that such things shouldn't be joked about. The subtext to humour when it comes to controversial subjects, is that everybody knows that it isn't right... it doesn't need to be explicitly said! And if it does, then there is clearly something wrong with you. 😂

In many circumstances humor can be used to point out the flaws in accepted behavior. That's good. It can also be used to trivialize the terrible. That's bad.

Just because something is considered 'humor' by someone does not mean it automatically escapes what is spoken and the speaker being judged and found guilty by association with the terrible things they are joking about.

@redredred I wouldn't find that funny, but equally I wouldn't condone it being outside the realms of humour.

@Mamapolo2016 A+ answer. I'm definitely not biased though. 👀😄
