Things have changed because we are much more sensitive to even the slightest suggestion. Crime against children has always been & will always remain the worst thing man can do. But that’s not the point of the thread. Edited December 3, 2020 by Accip74 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Welsh_red 4,711 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Its everything to do with context. Think thats lost sll the time these days . You cant make sweeping judgments as every situation is different . If theirs 2 mates fishing together and one of them made the worst taste joke imaginable . Both laugh and carry on fishing . Thats fine as far as im concerned One loud brash person shouting the same joke across a full pub to his [BANNED TEXT] . Bit of a dick , the jokes the same but the location is wrong . Not everybody wants to hear that kind of thing A guy is reading the paper and reading something horrible that happens and laughs about it . Is a scumbag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 20,703 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 Comedy should be able to cover any subject no matter how sensitive infact sone of the best comedy comes from the darkest subjects I guess it's a way of throwing light on them, its a slippery slope once you start banning stuff, i see plenty on here laughing at Harvey jokes, Katie price's son ,whats the difference how do you draw a line? 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly, certain folk love to stir shit. If it's a joke fair enough but when they are trying to be serious that's overstepping the mark. Why do folk constantly need to lie about things? To try and pretend bad taste jokes aren't rife on work sites and such is comedy in itself. Edited December 3, 2020 by Greb147 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Born Hunter 17,798 Posted December 3, 2020 Report Share Posted December 3, 2020 There's a talent required for dark shit like that and if ya ain't got it stay away. The audience needs to have no doubt you're joking but with some folks there's just a little bit of doubt ain't there. I answered yes and no instinctively but it depends on the situation doesn't it. Tbh it's not something I often encounter and tend to avoid the sort of 'lads' groups where that shit comes up. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's just not common in my life and tbh I don't really want it to be. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
