You can joke about anything and everything. Sometimes people will interpret that poorly, but they suck.

Every time period has different things you could joke about.

For example, in the 80s... polite society could not joke about the famine in Ethiopia or the Challenger space shuttle disaster.

In the 90s, the Balkan wars were beyond the pale. Same with Kurt Cobain's suicide.

For the 2000's, you didn't joke about 9/11.

Why is this a surprise?

Some people live in an alternate reality where every joke has always been a good one and tragedy, oppression, etc has always been brutally mocked without exception.

I don't know why people even talk about "comedy" like it's a monolith. It's like talking about "music" as if it's a singular genre.

Yeah, a whole lotta people wanna hide shitty views behind "it's just comedy bro, can't joke about shit these days"

Telling jokes is not a shield from criticism

joking about a sensitive subject does not inherently make the joke insensitive. it's not the same as "brutally mock[ing]" it

Comedy is both a skill and an artform, and just because you tell a joke doesn't mean you're entitled to a positive reaction. If you're going to attempt a joke about a touchy / controversial subject, you'd better have the necessary skill to back it up: bitching at people for not finding the humor in your failure of an edgy joke is like blaming the pavement you just ate because you suck at skateboarding. Skilled comedians can and do make it work: Louis CK got away with dropping n-bombs and child molestation jokes in his standup because he's a very talented comedian.

You can't joke about certain things because you're just not that funny.

The thing about the "you can joke about anything if it's funny" mindset is that most "good" comedians have to workshop their material for years sometimes before it's finalized. So all the funny race/women/offensive jokes you've heard may have at one point been terrible.
