Its fine as long as we dont make fun for the purpose of supporting them. Obviously its not ok for me to make a nzai joke, then immediately try to convince people they were right. Also, offensive jokes just for the sake of being offensive arent funny. They have to actually be funny.

No, you're the one who needs psychological help. The vast, vast majority of people will laugh at jokes about tragedies - if anything, not laughing makes you the abnormal one. If you normalise a tragedy then it loses its power. That's all we're doing.

No, of you normalize a tragedy, then it becomes something to be accepted, in the wring way sometimes. Why do you think so many nazis are popping up? Because they think it's okay, since you make fun of the deaths of the people they hate. Ya'll get so defensive over when someone calls trump the next Hitler and you say "that's insulting to the holocaust survivors", but in the same breath you turn their suffering and death into a joke.
There's a difference between jokes and reality. We may laugh at the holocaust in a joke, but if it were to happen again it's a different story. There's no need to mourn forever. What's happened happened and though we're sorry we can't change it. Are we obliged to stay sad all the time or avoid the matter completely? That won't help either because then, for example, terrorists know what we fear. No matter how we react tragedy will always be there.

Humour is created from somerthing being wrong and out of the ordinary. The structure of all jokes is generally based around something wrong being done or said.

@rose_garden the nazis have always been there. The media is now only focusing on them. People have been publicly defacing places with swastikas for no reason for ages now the media showcases every one of those events as a white supremist attack on culture or whatever. Stop believing their lies, racism is and always has been decreasing in large numbers. It's barely a major problem, just because media pushes an agenda doesn't mean it's new.
I'm sorry but dark humor isnt and will never be actually comedic. The whole point of dark humor is to laugh at how shitty and dark the joke is not the actual joke. Nobody actually laughs at 2000+ people dying and 3 million jews dying. None if those peoplw deserved to die and when it comes to respecting them, sane people will. Joking about the situation is not making their horrible deaths funny, it's like a guilty unnerving laugh that just gets you.
"Black comedy or dark comedy is a comic style that makes light of subjects that are generally considered serious or taboo."

I 100% agree with rosegarden. You do not want to normalize a tragedy. Why would you. It's a tragedy. It's not normal. You don't make jokes. Waiting for the down votes.
how original. just steal my thing like that, why don't you.
anyway, I'm unfollowing these comments, but you two snowflakes feel free to have a rage at me for not grieving for something that happened over 70 years ago and had no effect on me. Auf wiedersen and Heil Hitler
the terrorists/nazis or whoever want us to cry for years and years about what they did, if we make jokes about it we win. I was gonna make a 9/11 joke here but it would be plane wrong.
