> There's been plenty of humor by cruel people perpetrating injustices. They thought it was genuinely funny at the time. Yes. Exactly. And there is no hard-and-fast rule to determine what kind of humor perpetrates injustices, because, frankly, it is up to every single individual who hears the joke. And that's scary, especially when people think that normal socializing behaviors can all of a sudden get them fired and nobody's told them what the new rules are. Because, as I said, there really are no new rules. So use an old rule: Common courtesy. Giving people the benefit of the doubt. Treating other people as stupid human beings. Yes, "stupid". More offense is caused by stupidity than actual malice. Of course, if you find that the other person really is being malicious, knock them down with a righteous wrath and tell us all about it afterwards.
