    Why exclude one group from humor? As long as the humor is not derogatory

      It’s basically one or two posts a day, so a bit more than just including them. OP has a grudge against vegans, which is weird in it’s own right.

      The main problem I think is that OP ran out of funny vegan comics a long time ago, so what is left is bottom of the barrel quality. This comic for instance is not remotely funny and it’s a pattern at this point, none of them are.

      I don’t think anything has to be “done” about it, it’s more embarrassing than anything at this point. I think it’s a good idea to call him out though, so new users understand the situation and don’t get the impression Lemmy is anti vegan or something.

      Why exclude one group from humor? Everyone should be made fun of.

      OK what are these other groups? Redheads, handicapped, foreigners, women, fat people, small people?

      What are these groups that should be made fun of?
      You are reasoning like a true sociopath.
      Making fun of people for doing the morally correct thing is simply wrong.

        I say everyone and you go for minorities. “Made fun of” was poor choice of words but humor should be inclusive without being derogatory.

          Everyone includes minorities. So maybe you should have excluded that instead of using such broad strokes.

            Just include everyone without being derogatory, okay?

              Now you are making zero sense, since the OP joke was clearly derogatory.

                Comic is clearly intended to be over the top hyperbole. You’d have to be pretty thin skinned to be offended by that. No one is going to think “dumb vegas eat living trees” based on this comic.

          That is not reasoning, but examples of other groups people make fun of.
          You are failing basic logic, and failing to answer the question.

          Everyone should be made fun of.

          That was what I responded to. Because that means making fun of the above groups too.
          But maybe you too is a sociopath extremely insensitive?

              Unhinged from what?
              If I’m unhinged, it’s because I find you “extremely insensitive” towards people that may stick out for whatever reason.

              Edit: Trying to be less “unhinged”.

                unhinged from reality. you have no idea who I am. you are making up your own facts and claiming your thoughts belong to others.

                  you have no idea who I am.

                  I know what you wrote, and my response is based on that.
                  You obviously think it’s OK to make fun of people for being Vegan, and think it’s OK to make fun of people for other reasons too, like being a librarian.
                  That clearly makes you “insensitive”.

                  Maybe you should consider why you think it’s OK to behave in a way, that makes you look like that?
                  Try to image the situation where Trump made fun of a handicapped journalist, is that who you want to be?

                    “You obviously think it’s OK to make fun of people for being Vegan”

                    you can’t cite any evidence for this

              I could, but those examples are not equivalent except for librarians.
              Nobody calls themselves hipster or beer snob.

                If I call you, for argument sake, a humourless idiot, am I still allowed to make fun of humourless idiots?

                  Yes. I don’t see how that could be offensive, because I don’t think anybody identify as humorless idiots. So go right ahead.
                  There’s a huge difference between targeting a demographic that exist and one that kind of doesn’t really.
                  But apparently you don’t have the intellectual capacity to understand that.
                  Obviously I don’t identify as a humorless idiot. I even noted the drawings are kind of funny, it’s the joke that isn’t.

                    targeting a demographic that exist and one that kind of doesn’t really.

                    But they both exist and overlap to the huge extent, so…

      By all means.

      Just, y’know, be clever about it.
