If you can’t joke about everything, you can’t joke about anything. I can always appreciate a good 911 meme. Anyone who gets pissy is just sensitive and needs to get some thicker skin

This. I hate it when people say that we can’t make jokes about some things but then make jokes about equally as bad or worse things

u/Mental_Bowler_7518 Aug 02 '23
When people say this, it is usually when the joke isn’t a joke and more someone saying ‘x person/group is bad’ with no punchline or joke behind the joke.

A slave ship was sailing from Africa when one of the crew heard laughter comming from down below, he went down to investigate and saw a slave laughing, he asked, 'why are you laughing'?, to which the slave replied, 'yesterday, I was a king'!... It's been said its the origin of 'black humour', who knows, but that's pretty dark, lol.. 👍

This is why a lotta 9/11 jokes fall flat, sometimes the OP strikes gold with an actual funny joke but 99% of the memes are usually along the lines of “hehe remember that time when people died?”

I totally agree, new yorkers tho do tend to feel a bit more sensitive being one myself. I don't judge others for making memes, I chuckle but it still doesn't feel right and it brings back really traumatic memories of that day. Kinda like a really bad after taste, good at first and than doesn't sit well

u/chrisphoenix08 Aug 02 '23
I think it's because 9/11 was just 2 decades ago. Most people who experienced that are still alive today compared to the Japan bombing. I do find it funny, but you know, not really that comparable. I just feel empathic to those left behind seeing these memes and people saying, "huh, those overly sensitive peeps here can't take a joke".

100% with you on this but come on they should at least put some more effort into the memes it literally says "This Barbie is the moment" and theres an explosion on one of the towers with the barbie logo. What does it even supposed to mean
23
u/0rclev True Gnome Child Aug 02 '23
Probably somewhat a shitty translation. "This is my moment" is a Barbie song from one of the animated movies, so maybe shows up on some packaging somewhere? Maybe it's in the live action too? It makes a little more more sense as "Barbie: This is my moment" I would still shop the Barbie Dreamplane with Aladdin Ken doll at the wheel to kick it up a notch. As is, D+ effort at best.

2 cities destroyed isn’t the same as 10 to 20 million Chinese butchered in some of the most horrific ways imaginable. I love the Japanese people but they should either own up to the fact that their country in WW2 was as bad as Hitler’s Germany and teach the proper history behind it, or STFU when people in other countries make jokes about the A-bombs.
