Are you not going to provide anything to support why it should be seen as obvious sarcasm?

Then yes.

But ya know you could actually wait for my response BEFORE posting something like this...

Better them than you, don’t you think? They might kill you tomorrow.

No. I wasn't ignoring you. I was saying that when women usually speak about being able to things as good as men, it is things like that, not things that take an actual physical advantage.

Nothing wrong with self-deprecating humor, the problem is how one uses it and whether one takes it as "not so much of a joke but I won't say it" in the end. If anything, people as a whole can't deal with self-deprecation enough. But that's a problem on the end of the receiver, if you have to worry about hurting people constantly then you absolutely can't say anything since people's stories are different and even talking about anything absolutely random and innocent or something that isn't usually considered "mean" or "not acceptable" can bring back someone else's trauma. So it's a game one can't win if it starts to try to play it, or only in extremely hypocritical ways.

Because of my personal history and context, someone criticizing bankers even jokingly can be just as insensitive, terrible and might bring back just as much of a a trauma as someone making a joke about beating his wife, and you of course have no way of knowing it beforehand. So, should we avoid talking about absolutely anything as long as we are not in someone else's head? That's the problem when trying "not to hurt people", it seems nice but it's ultimately hypocritical and only focused on a few talking points considered as "worthwhile" while ignoring the fact that you might not know about how the father of the guy or the girl you're talking to got killed because he was a banker; everything not considered a "subject worthy of care" can and will be ignored by the general population and the person that had a traumatic experience will have to deal with it. And you, or anyone else, might hurt a dozen of people just as badly as the woman that was in a abusive relationship every day this way, this could apply to pretty much anything, the banker one is just a stupid example. . Thus making the very idea of policing your speech" to avoid hurting others extremely hypocritical and pointless. You've got to be careful because maybe this woman was beaten by her husband so it'll bring back terrible memories and it'd be insensitive, but the one whose father died doesn't have that luxury, and yet the reason you police yourself is because you are "nice" and people shouldn't be hurt... AND all victims are still supposed to be equal despite this? (it doesn't show with this kind of policy).

Avoiding being an asshole when you can avoid it and not pushing someone's buttons willingly is one thing, and it should be applied as well, that's called not being an ass. But humor being off-limit even when it's directly aimed at you but a general statement on the internet instead is something else and shouldn't be banned because "context". Unless of course the context is a direct attack you're not ok with. But this falls back on the first point.

It doesn't make the humor "nice" but it's not its point anyway, the point is subversion and dedramatizing something terrible (which is actually why it's actually not that bad even with depression thrown into the mix, but it of course depends of your intent when you're using it. Again, if you're making it look like a joke but are in fact serious... Then there is a problem and it shouldn't be used this way). Dark humor isn't supposed to be about policing yourself, context or not, it can seem (or even be, if it's done knowingly) insensitive but it doesn't justify a "yeah but dark humor about this shouldn't be done because [this]".

I didn't say that the POINT is to offend people. I said that offending someone or not is a non-factor. It's extremely different. Offending people willingly with this being the explicit point of it is being an asshole. Not walking on eggshells constantly isn't. Intent matters. And in a way, depressed people using self-deprecating humor in the "wrong way" are willingly offending themselves with this very purpose, that's why I'm saying that there this isn't using it well.

Men considerably kill themselves more. The problem is that people tend to make it look like it comes from nowhere, or worse, blame the "patriarchy" for it to avoid any further questioning. Between this and the usual absence of context when it comes to abuse (or rather, we don't want to see the context, which changes a lot of things; indirect murder using friends, family members, etc who often happen to be male is also a thing, among many others, as an example, and it might be counted separately as well if it's impossible to directly link it to the relationship) it makes any statement like that meaningless as long as we're not truly fair. Which is the problem when people aren't that concerned about the truth in the first place, same deal as metoo, it makes taking real victims seriously a gamble and make them the ones that'll suffer the most because of the fact that a biased system and idiots not concerned about facts but only about victimhood points, not taking context into account if it is an advantage, are ruining their credibility more than anything else ever will.

Marriage as a concept goes back in the day. Just because it's been mutilated recently doesn't mean we have to abolish it. We need to fix it.
