We could be politically incorrect knowing that this is a joke and not to be taken serious, but nothing can be joked about anymore cause stuff happens to people and it can be triggering. Of course, gay and transphobic jokes were never funny since at the very best theyre lazy, but it shouldnt be wrong to talk poke fun at peoples differences.

Joking about the ridiculous amount of body categorisation of gay men bodies is very different than making fun of someone because they are gay Anything can be joked about. But it's best leaving those topics to those who live them. Leave trans jokes to trans people. Leave gay jokes to gay people. Leave black jokes to black people. "Wait, that's not fair, then how could I, as a straight white male, make any jokes?" ..... You can if you are a comedy genius. Stop hitting low hanging fruit. If you want to beat around identity comedy, trust me, there's lots of make fun of straight white men on. If black people can joke about getting nailed by cops on racism, make jokes about how you don't. (As long as it isn't bragging and is genuinely comedy, it works) ...... If a gay person talks about how hard it is to find people on Grindr for a commitment, make jokes about dating in the way of "Gay guys have issues about finding commitment on Grindr, but let me tell you something about my experience in other dating apps"..... etc. These comedians just need to take a talking point, and turn it onto themselves as the subject. They take other experiences they don't have, and sometimes use it to punch down. It's not hard. Everyone has experiences with everything. Everyone experiences them differently based on who that person is. Tell it from your own perspective, not from some made up strawman point. Once you figure that out, make a few jokes about it, and boom. You avoid being an asshole. <cite>PoIkan posted [p:980157920] in Jerry Sein...

The best way to win comedy is self-deprecation. That way, the only person you offend is yourself. Sure, you might be black and you might make fun of black people doing stand up on those topics, but you've lived those experiences. Just like white men can lean into their privilege and make it funny too. If they themselves are funny. I've seen comedians do it. <cite>PoIkan posted [p:980158059] in Jerry Sein...

Dean Obeidallah, for example, does jokes from a progressive Muslim Palestinian perspective. But I agree that unless that's what you're making your bread and butter, people should take political takes from comedians with a grain of salt.Would also recommend John Fugelsang, Stephanie Miller, and Frangela.</quote>I guess you're right. They are likely better than the ones my grandparents puts on. One example being one guy who wouldn't stop ripping into his wife for the whole routine.
