You said comedy transcends all barriers. That is quite clearly not true - as I just articulated. What is funny, or what jokes are even 'allowed' to be told, is determined a lot by people's biases, experiences, or cultural background. Or how they see reality.
Take this thread for example.
https://voat.co/v/funny/3523577
Over 230 people thought it was 'funny' enough (it is in the funny subverse) to upvote it, suggesting they think calling me a Jew is funny. Their perception of reality is based on the backstory that I must be Jewish because I contest their perception of reality that Jews rule the world, Jews are responsible for basically all important things they dislike that are discussed here, etc. It also received some 20 downvotes. These are probably the people that know calling me a Jew isn't funny. Why? Because lies aren't funny. Humor is based in truth. But these 230 some people - or at least some of those 230 - have a different perception of truth.

If you actually think you are funny, link 5 original jokes that you made on Voat. I will show them to 5 different people with different backgrounds and experiences, explaining context if necessary. Then I will you how successful they are. You can then have a better understanding of your own strengths and weaknesses.

I just find it funny that you laugh at nigger jokes but not jew jokes. Your self-awareness is as lacking as those you take issue with. It makes me laugh although I understand that is not your intent. That just makes it funnier to me and, presumably, many others. Maybe if you'd learn to lighten up you wouldn't have such a bad time around here.

The only way to get along with religious fanatics is to convert to their cult.
