re: Jokes about Charlie Kirk and wishing someone would get k!lled at Kevin harts roast

Trump's statement on Reiner was fricked up IMO.

I don't guess I saw it. If he was celebrating / laughing about his death that's morally vulgar.

The entire premise of a roast is moral vulgarity.

Have you ever heard of the fable of the scorpion and the frog?

I'm not talking about a roast.

I'm talking about pieces of shite who would actually be joyous over the murdering of a public figure.

A difficult destinction for you to make, I'm sure.

It is very clear that this behavior is giving rise to these violent attacks from completely average, normal Democrats.

---

Yeah, same with those dang shoot 'em up video games!

quote:

Both sides of the political spectrum have made videos and post on social media about how offended they were after this roast.

Sounds like it was pretty well balanced then. That's actually a win for the right.

Right on que.....the "can't argue with the facts? Attack the messenger" propagandist.

You must be mixing me up with someone else. Plus, the post I made was contextual and factually accurate and was in no way an ad hominem attack.

BTW, the word you were looking for is cue.

I just watched it and I thought it was hilarious. People need to stop being so fricking uptight.

To be clear, your distinction here is not actually about “public figures” or moral principle. It’s about whether the target is someone you personally admire.

I’m quite sure if I started listing public figures you don't like so much, we’d suddenly discover you have a lot more nuanced view about dark humor. Obviously you've boxed yourself into denying it here, but we both know you wouldn't bring this same energy if the joke referenced Versace, Harvey Milk, or Tupac.

People apply radically different standards to jokes depending on whether the target sits inside or outside their moral tribe. That’s the actual "distinction" here. Not your morals vs his.

So you're a mind reader too. Assuming you know me. lo-fricking-l.

And you're proving just how thick you are. Ate up with politics. I don't give a shite about jokes at a roast. Here, I'll repeat it for you... I don't give jack shite about a roast joke. I'm talking about the celebration (among some) that went on when Charlie Kirk was murdered. He got killed for words. Disgusting.

Were the deaths of Versace, Harvey Milk and Tupac celebrated? They certainly weren't by me. In fact, I took no joy in the deaths of the leaders of Iran. That it happened can get chalked up to FAFO. They brought it on themselves, but I found no reason to dance over the fact.

The same with those two nitwits in Minneapolis who FAFO out with ICE agents. Was I happy they died? No. Have I ever "celebrated" a death? No. Did I celebrate the people that little douchebag Rittenhouse in Milwaukee shot? No. They all tried to play games in the wrong place and FAFO.

Okay... Now I get to cosplay the mind reader. So you celebrated the murder of Charlie Kirk, is that right? Figures.

I think here is where, like several other posters have done, you've begun a tangent that skews away from the roast setting where these jokes are expected to real-life where the actors are sincere and acting in bad taste, and it tends to muddy the discussion.

I don't care about death jokes during a roast, but the actual celebration of Kirk's death by some people bugs the shite out of me.

The posters responding to you are removed from and didnt respond to the quote above and think you aren't ok with jokes, when in actuality you were talking about current events outside of the roast space. You did say you weren't talking about roasts a couple of times, but that seemed to fall on deaf ears. Is this fair?

quote:

---

This roast has really shown how soft this nation has become.

---

You aint lying.. People are getting upset about shite that I would have thought no one would get upset over.

Roast have always been a fabric of comedy.. And all of a sudden you make more people aware of them then all of a sudden a bunch of momma's boys can't handle it.

This was not a roast of Charlie Kirk. Anyone claiming this was funny has a real mental problem.

Watched the whole thing last night. Charlie Kirk jokes didn’t come in until the last hour.
