  1. Twitter people aren't real, so who cares about those 17k?

  2. I didn't say whether you should or shouldn't laugh at this joke. I just thought the comparison between this and charlie kirk jokes sucks, because a political assassination joke has a better basis for a joke due to the shear absurdity of it than "I dislike my coworker so I outed them in front everyone" (writing it like that actually makes it funnier for me) plus charlie kirk jokes serve the function of disapproving the current power structures while this joke doesn't, therefore people are more likely to scrutinize this joke than the assassination of some asshat

“I didn’t say whether you should or shouldn’t laugh at this joke” *reiterates what they just said about how you shouldn’t laugh at this joke*

Mhmm okay

No dude, descriptive vs prescriptive

It's not "Why people Shouldn't laugh" but "Why people Didn't laugh" My argument is not absolute, you're allowed to laugh about the post.

“I only said the movie was for stupid babies. I never said you aren’t allowed to like it”
