Dark humor vs. being an A**hole In my free time at home, I enjoy watching stand up videos from my favorite comedians There is a comedian that is very famous in my country, he has lots of followers on his social media and lots of views on his videos. I really like (or used to like) his personality, not only as a comedian but as a human being, since he is not just funny but he's also a nice person, or that's what I thought A couple of days ago, this comedian made some transphobic comments on his online show, making fun of transexual people, especially transexual kids. I am a person who is completely in favor of LGBT+ rights and I don't tolerate discrimination to this group of people or any other minority, I don't like any kind of discrimination, that's why I felt so indignant when I heard those comments. On the other hand, a very well-known singer from my country expressed her thoughts through social media about what he said, since she is not only an LGBT+ community supporter but she is also the mother of a trans kid. Immediately, this situation became a trending topic in my country where some people expressed their agreement or disagreement with the comedian. Many people, including other famous comedians, defended and supported this guy saying that "It is just dark humor", "you don't have to feel offended" and other things... I think that humor and being an A**hole are two very different things, it is not humor when you are making fun of people that you just don't know how they feel about their personal situations. It is not humor when you don't understand something and you just laugh about it. I think that if you make fun of someone due yo their sexuality, color, gender, and others, you are not a comedian, you are just a bully, especially if you are referring to kids I think that nowadays comedians should be more careful with what they say or how they say something, because they may be just hurting people instead of making them laugh. So, what do you think about this?
