    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.

      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.

      Think shitty crybaby “comedians” who say “you can’t make a joke anymore” because all their jokes are edgy bigoted garbage
