Yes bad jokes... about rape, the Holocaust and AIDS yep those aren't very touchy subjects and things you don't tend to joke about on a public forum at all.

Jokes are jokes. People are free to be offended about them, but they should not be grounds for immediate removal. I'm sure they have every contractual right to do so, but I don't think they would have if we weren't in this "action must be taken immediately at the first sign of offense" outrage culture we're living in.


Have you actually read them? They are fucking horrific.

You're free to call them crass and tasteless. That is valid criticism. I don't think that on its own should be enough for immediate removal though. It sets a really bad slippery slope. Those can be pretty much objectively said to be offensive, but I worry that the outrage police will eventually start coming for even more mundane speech.
