@spaceinsomniac: Sure Sure, subjective humor. Like, I was in the "nerds who get picked on due to social anxiety and/or akward' crowd. Hell even now I am in the 'worst stereotype about gamers and neckbeards' Not by my own complete choice, just a part of who I happen to be. I also happen to be an INFP, which means my level of Empathy trumps most every other personality factor that my anxiety/depression/medication required brain chemistry doesn't over-ride. So, seeing someone else take pleasure from making someone else suffer is, to me an overwhelmingly negative thing.
In the same manner when I go out eating I will often stack my plates as I finish cause, you know, it saves the server a step, where as other people will leave the table a massive mess. How my approach to a 4 way stop at night..is to very slowly come to a stop if its a close thing between me and someone else..and then stop..and wait, to make it as clear as possible I am giving them the right of way..where as others I see seem to think "Screw that off we go, weee!" run through. Or how I very very often find myself holding doors for people (like, no gender, race or age bias just, is someone behind me? ok door held for them) Where as others will not even bother to look back to see if anyone is behind them.
Ok so I say all of that not to sing my own praises but to try and clarify where I come from when I say that was..well..awful.
Look at it from this perspective as well. I am not against offending people, or humor meant too cause controversy. Like comedians should be allowed to tell jokes that offend people, even me. There is such a big difference in my mind though between, say. "I knew this fat kid once who couldn't fit through the door to his bathroom, man did that make a mess!" to "Hey you, yes you the fat kid in seat 4-C, get the spot-light on him. How do you even sit in your seat! Look everyone! He though he could show up like the rest of us, what is his brain fat too? Must be cause who would do that to themselves?".
See the difference? Fat jokes..but hey, ones offensive in general, the other is mental and verbal abuse of a specific individual. Like I said, stuff that reeks of 'no empathy what so ever" makes me irrationally angry.
This is gold
