How do you all deal with reactionary friends who like "dark humor"?

posted 4 years ago

Unfortunately significant portion of my friends seem to think that saying racist, sexist, fascist things and laughing is funny and quantifies as a joke. Basically how do you get shithead white suburb kids to care about struggles of people and not play that off as a joke?

South Park is reactionary edgy white dude nonsense.

Not to say they’ve never hit the mark, they can be funny when they’re punching up, but the whole premise of the show is “everything sucks equally and caring about things is bad”.
