    I realized that many of the people weren’t laughing at the ridiculous nature of the jokes but because they supported the offense against group X or Y.

    I haven’t thought of that point of view.

      Yea, I didn’t realize it myself, someone pointed it out to me. That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with dark humor, I also like it, it’s just trickier than I realized. That’s what friends are for, we share perspectives.

      Thinking back on it, the first time someone shared this to me I was pretty dismissive of the idea. It took me a while to process it and come around. Unfortunately I never got to tell the person they changed my perspective because they were gone before I had the realization.
