    What constitutes a joke? If I punch you in the face then say, “hey it was just a joke” is it a joke? If the punch hurt you is it because you’re soft?

      Does a mean statement hurt your body in the same physical way as a punch to the face? That’s a really stupid comparison.

            Nah. I just don’t get why so many of you don’t like me saying that being awful to people in your material is bad. It’s like you’re all genuinely shitty people. I mean yeah that’s what it is.

      I’d saying paying to go see a comedian who’s work you are familiar and comfortable with.

      If you’re genuinely unsure whether punching someone is a joke then I don’t think you should be joking with people

            Maybe I was too quick to judge. Maybe you’re a non native English speaker or autistic and can’t understand what’s being said.
