A big part of a joke is knowing your audience. Not everyone is comfortable with such jokes, others are. I can have a dark sense of humor, but jokes are meant to cause laughter and amusement. Op shouldn't HAVE to deal with a joke if it hurts her or makes her uncomfortable. I have a feeling it was obvious to op that the MIL was meaning it to be hurtful, which can hurt even if you can typically take the joke.

"ITT:Some people are outraged, and some are making jokes. Make up your minds, is it offensive or not?" What kind of idiotic logic is that? Some people think one thing and the rest think another, therefore everyone is an indecisive hypocrite? What? Maybe you should make an effort to engage your brain before commenting next time.

Follow your own advice kid. To put it in simple terms, we as a society, as as a whole, have not come to a unanimous agreement on what is offensive or not. You seem pretty upset at an opinion, which is the very thing you try defending. They can have one, but I can't, because you dislike what I said or perjaps me personally l. If you're going to be ballsy, make sure there's no holes, flawed logic, or lack of common sense. White knighting is just as cute as it was in early 2000s.

No, we really haven't come to a unanimous agreement, otherwise there'd be no debate and no differing opinions here. Your passive-aggressive remarks and misrepresentation of what I was saying are no substitute for having an actual, valid point. And it's pretty pathetic that you assume I was white knighting, not least because I didn't even read the comment posted by the girl above or even notice her gender until you pointed it out. Whatever makes you feel superior, though. So really, "ITT: Ayasha gets butthurt about her faulty logic being called out."

ITT: tarlax doesn't understand that I meant white knighting an entire group of people, not to mention those who agree with him. I'm just as outspoken as you so I guess this shitshow might continue for awhile. An opinion that's different than yours equals faulty logic. Great maturity. I'll get down on your stoop. Anyone who disagrees with me is a sheeple. This just in, I like blue, but he likes red. My logic is faulty as all get out. I have been beste

Dear lord, you just can't stop with the ridiculous statements, can you? Oh yes, I definitely think people who think differently from me are sheeple and arguing in favor of my opinion definitely makes me a big "white knight", instead of simply someone with an opinion! You're really just embarrassing yourself by this point. You basically called everyone here a hypocrite because they don't all have the same opinion. That was stupid, and still is stupid. Get over it and learn to take some light criticism like an adult.

You keep going and I do. Gemini did what you called light criticism. She was nice. Using the word "idiotic" in your first response isn't light. You're adorable. You're not much younger and yet you don't know that on the internet, not everyone will take a rude comment comment lying down. Some actually defend themself. Did I hit some personal nerve? Be sure you're ready finish if you want to start. "Haha I'm going to be a jerk and they'll probably cry and then I win the internet." I'm so sure these other people care about a differing opinion by person. You can critisize me for 50 years but I won't change my opinion for you unless I find something, not someone, in life that makes mectake a diferent approach. That's what life experiences are for. Ok let's see if this pacifies the infant, and let's see if he picks up on anything. Op, that joke was really in poor taste and I'm sorry you had to go through it. Your MIL had no right to say it, and should apologize immediately to you. FYL.

Again, nothing but passive-aggressive remarks and completely avoiding the original point yet again, all while desperately trying to get under my skin by infantilizing me. Good job, you sure showed me! I can see you're either trolling or genuinely unable to address a point, so I won't bother any more. I fully expect more childish attempts to hurt my ego and get me to comment back, though.
