Are you OK with slurs being used in irony or dark humor? - Feddit.it

## this post contains slurs and mention of slurs, if you feel offended by them or fear to be triggered, please avoid this The only people that i know that agreed to use them in dark humor or irony are either from my country, a similiar country to mine or straight up are the slurs victims, so i wonder…what do y’all think? If it’s not a problem i’d like to know if you don’t mind the use of slurs in a ironic way or dark humor context and where are you from and if you are one of the victim of the slur; I want to underline that i mean only slurs in a IRONIC or DARK HUMOR context and not meant to harm. Will i get banned?

IMO funny people can be funny without spreading hateful words and stereotypes.

They can also be funny with them. Comedy doesn’t need or care about preconceived constraints. Irreverence that challenges our arrogant conformity & self-indulgent vanity that anything is sacred or off-limits is a goal of comedy. It’s part of gaining humility & laughing at ourselves.

That’s fine on principle but in reality a large proportion of people will use it as an excuse to use funny trigger word.

Being able to tell a joke as a non-black person that uses the N-word is such a fine line that the joke has to be divinely inspired to happen.

It is very difficult to thread the line of a joke that is actually funny, that requires the use of the N-word, and that is not derogatory towards black people.

People should not be given carte blanche to say the word because most of the non-black people that say it are saying it to be offensive, and if you throw open those floodgates, it’s just going to legitimize the offensiveness.

It may come back into common parlance one day, but probably not in our lifetimes.

Using the thing to make fun of the thing is spreading awareness.
