Trump is cancer. But having Van Gogh memes and so on rolling on the socials just few hours after he was almost shot in he head an some guys end up dining was quite a shit-show to look at.
Nevertheless to quote Trump regarding the victim of mass shooting: “Get over it”

God Americans are so sensitive, the only dead person in that story is the shooter. Donald will get over it

Any of the “dark humour” places are always about racism and pro xenophobia instead of the terrible sex and/or dead baby jokes you might expect.

I am quite confused. Can someone please explain why there seems to be hate towards those who like “dark humor”? I can understand that some try to hide behind the name when in reality they just want to bad-mouth minorities or their views, however I don’t see a problem with dark humor by itself.
I may be missing something since a lot of the comments and the post itself mentions US politics where there is a lot of tensions.

Dark humor itself isn’t the issue, however a majority of the people who claim they have “dark humor” are actually just massive bigots who don’t want to be called out so they mask their hate as thinly-veiled “jokes”
- Walking Coffin ( @Walking_coffin@lemmy.dbzer0.com ) 6•2 months ago
I can definitely see that being a thing sadly.
So the post and comments refer to people who act in such a way mixed with the US politics because of how certain people make “jokes” about minorities that are oppressed and might be oppressed further in the worst case scenario, right?
- EldritchFeminity ( @EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone ) English5•2 months ago
Yep. It’s been a thing for a long time now, at least since 2001, but “it’s just a joke” became a way for bigots to disguise their hatred, and was picked up by “edgy” teenagers in places like 4Chan…which would later reveal as they got older that they were actually just bigots themselves all along or the joking had normalized that mentality in them to the point where they started believing it. It’s definitely not just an American thing, but Republicans in the US tend to be extremely sensitive and volatile emotionally (despite calling everybody else “liberal snowflakes” for how easily offended they claim they are) while being very emboldened by the events of the past decade or so to openly spew their hatred and bigotry.
There’s a great stand-up bit about it by James Acaster from 2019 called What’s Wrong? Too Challenging For You!?

Thanks for the helpful answer. I’ll have a look at that stand-up.

It’s not against dark humor. It’s against what you identified: people hiding behind it or qualifying their bigotry as dark humor when they’re really just assholes.
My humor is dark af and I take no offense because this isn’t about that.

Man. Even if I DID think the whole “trans women are really men amirite LULZ” was funny at some point, it’s been their #OneJoke for like a decade now.
I love Tim Minchin, but if every comedian I followed only sang The Pope Song I’d be pretty fucking tired of it pretty fucking quick (or insert whatever song here that’s just stuck in my head at the moment lol)

While there’s a lot of bangers, I’m probably most fond of Cheese overall. I’m a simple man, the more resources you throw at a bit the happier I am. Hiring an orchestra to sing about cheese is basically peak comedy to me. :P

Funny, but false. Tell me a dark joke about Donald Trump or religion. Please. In turn I can share a joke about minorities or gender.

“biden crime family” is perfectly acceptable to say
but comparing trump to hitler? Nah completely and morally off the table, ignore the fact that we’re literally calling the biden family a fucking mafia. And when we do unironically say it, it’s also satire, so you can’t complain.
