Yes, I think people (even though they may just be making a joke) should take into consideration that other people could read it and see it as you being serious and get offended by it. Not everyone will find it funny especially if it's on a touchy subject and just because they do get upset doesn't mean "they can't take a joke". Some people get dragged through hell and back daily because of religion, being transgender, race, sexual orientation, etc. and they come on here to be in their own little world only to have that ruined when they see opinion based threads like "Thoughts on Transgenders" (etc. etc.) and see it has gotten out of hand with jokes.
Or people make just make those comments to start up some drama because they are so unsatisfied with their own, dull lives that they need attention in order to feel like people actually notice that they're there.
Sorry for ranting I'm just not satisfied with how people behave online.
I guess if anyone makes any jokes or are being serious you can always report them and add them to your ignored list
oh. my. god.
ive been reading your posts from several threads and i just gotta get this off my chest: you are the most woke out of anyone ive ever seen on this website. kudos to you. you get it. and your literally the only other user on this website ive seen actively speak out against racism, particularly anti-black racism. i see alot of other users here exclude the topic of racism from their posts when they speak out against discrimination, or erase racial related things when they label down the list of the opressed..
back to the topic, i agree. alot of these discussions about "why can't everyone be nice to each other?" when it comes to certain political threads comes off as the softer version of trumps "blame both sides" on charlottsville.

when you got one side rooting for the deaths and oppression and anti-human rights, and another side protesting against hatred and insist that they should be treated to the same standard of the priviliged. you cant just come in and say "lets all respect and accept each other's opinions!" that dosen't make you the mediator.
your telling the ones that want human rights, that they need to accept and respect the opinions that they will be treated horribly by racist whites, anti-lgbt straight/cis, anti-muslims in america, and move on. your telling them that they need to stop having resentment for the ones that do them wrong because being angry over being mistreated is somehow just as bad as the angry person that mistreats others.
your telling the ones that are anti-human rights for *insert minority*. "your opinion that these people should be killed, treated lesser than human, is valid and respected, because its your opinion. you can accept that these oppressed people will stand in the street with signs up, but know that they will be shot down and tear-gassed by the authority, and the white supremist militia that is on your side."
its all under the disguise of "but im just trying to be good and stay out of it."
another thing to touch upon: how to tell when someone is lying to you about themselves. for someone to say "im not racist, im not homophic, im against discrimination" yet still supports actions and words of people, organizations, or laws that stand for somethat that completley contradict. "im against discrimination." yet they say something like "gays are the anti-christ in my religion, but im not homophobic." THEY LYIN'
