Humour is something you either find funny or you don't.

There are reasons why things are funny. You always come into these topics to defend the its just a joke! side, tell us why its funny.

To be fair, not all jokes are funny. Despite humor being a jokes intended purpose, the "bad jokes" do exist.

Fyi teenagers find alot of things funny that you as an adult would not.

Teenagers go to park and spit on the ride and giggle.
Is it funny to you?

They put ketchup packs under tires so people run over them and it squirts on people. Is that funny?

Some would even get a huge laugh out of stealing a prize from a booth and booking it.

You want to know why they find it funny? Teenager humor is mischief = hahahhaha

Yeah exactly, being a Nazi or racist only seems like a funny thing to people who are fucking morons, most of whom are legitimately racist and just pretending its a joke.


Ah but destroying property and addictinf yourself to cigs for the laughs is totally a smart thing to do.

Yeah, I know. They might very well be. I don't know.

Still just pointing out that concepts such as immaturity, bad jokes, etc do exist. People are so quick to equate and the other gestures to white supremacy and anti-semitism. Which they rightly should. However, to say that it's always done with those intentions is disingenuous.

Just because you can't fathom it to be done jokingly or think it's unfunny isn't a valid argument as to whether or not something was intended to be funny/a joke.

Bad jokes/immaturity is quite real. Just as real as racism and other bigotry. Often times it intersects. So it's easy to see why others conflate the two. I'm not saying these people are on one side or the other. It's very likely they could be both. Just giving a reminder.

Way to show your reading comprehension skills.

If they didn't know the holocaust was bad then they wouldn't be doing this. There needs to be something that makes it controversial.

And again, not saying they aren't nazis or white supremacists. How the fuck would I know that. I can't make that claim.

It was dumb and wrong, though we didn't really smoke cigs for laughs. My point is acting like an evil group of people never really crossed our minds. I was a teen around time of the Afghanistan/Iraq wars. Not once did I think to act like some member of the Taliban on camera. I don't see this as a "boys being boys" kind of thing. There's more to it than that.

I think it's all bunk to write off racist behavior as that is a tactic these racists use. "Write it all off as a joke, but get the ideas out there". They use the internet to recruit people. Some of us can see through the bullshit.

What is supposed to be funny about making racist gestures anyway? No one ever explains that.


Have you ever made a gang sign as a joke?

"Bloods watch youselfs!"

No, why would that be funny?


It isn't but teens do that....alot.

Where I grew up they did it to troll teachers etc. Go "westside!" "Eastside!"
Bloods crypts etc

But they didn't actually admire the gangs I don't think. More or less the idea of a handsign holding meaning was a giggle to the age group, and adults getting upset about them was icing on the cake.

Lol @ crypts

This is excellent logic. The best way to teach a teenager not to be a terrible person is to let them get away with anything they find funny. Laughing it off and looking the other way super-discourages the behavior.

In this case it's very likely that they are bigots of some sort, sure. However you're misunderstanding my main point. Despite what you think, immaturity and bad/stupid jokes exist. Sorry pal. Don't know what to tell ya. Feel free to believe whatever you want to believe bud.

Again, I'm not trying to defend these kids, but seeing things like

"This can't be a joke because I find it unfunny" or "They're too old to be making bad/stupid jokes" just makes me like what? No that's called immaturity.

Gonna conflate immaturity with bigotry? Cool. Understandable. You can't really have racism/bigotry without immaturity. So the reverse sounds true. I get it. I get it. But to say immaturity=bigotry/racism 100% of the time would be wrong.
