    Did… you simply just downvote my comment, not address anything in it, and answer the hypothetical question? Did you even read it? No one is “forcing” anyone here. If you don’t understand a basic concept of human language and interaction… you won’t be able to identify what the actual problems are, which undermines efforts to improve the situation. Your complaints would be rightfully ignored.

    It’s the same type of argument that suggests “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” should be banned, because it “forces” people who experience systemic racism to be exposed to it in a literary work. Again. Context fucking matters. People who don’t get that and complain, are either virtue signalling or attention seeking (or both), in either case, ignored to the benefit of all.

        Imagine feeling so strongly about this, yet not understand why if anyone actually cared and listened to your opinion, it would make the very problem you want to address, worse. I’m not trying to convince you of anything either… I’m explaining the function of humour to address difficult to talk about topics. And you’re going “no! No one should talk about it in any other way than in the seriousness of which it is” lalalacanthearyou. “… well, people simply don’t talk about it then. Is that what you want?”. lalala.

        You do you.

        Whether or not you want to be wrong about this, is entirely up to you. It has no effect on me. I’m just trying to help you out here. Seems it really it’s of no interest to you, which means I’m just wasting my time. You might as well just move on. I certainly will. Have a good one.
