The slipper slope fallacy sucks and its not really an argument. I just give people a heads up on the "I identify as a snowblower and you should respect my life choices" joke because its seems totally benign, but can be super offensive. Once again, I didn't know it was super offensive until I super offended someone. And people should be able to tell jokes and humor in any way they want, just be aware of the people around you. The point of humor is to make people laugh, not make people sad. | ||

But man i remember flash having some straight up maphacks in one game he played tvt where he randomly scanned a proxy starport next to his base and easy beat the cheese because of that. who was he playing against? What a god. proxy starport at the close by air 3rd gas* was semi common on that map but I think you just SCV scouted for it normally? * not that you'd actually take it as your 3rd but you know what I mean D: e: actually it's really just the 6/12 expansion lol, way more clear | ||

I don't think anything should be off limits when it comes to humor, it's more about setting your own filter based on your goal. If you're trying to befriend a jew, you probably don't break the ice with a holocaust joke, if your best friend's mom just died of cancer, you probably lay of cancer jokes when he's around, etc., but on the whole, get at it! Maybe my skin is thick from being online for so many years, but the shit my friend's and I say about each other (race, sexual orientation, gender, religion, etc.) is pretty raunchy and 'no holds barred' and it's hilarious. | ||

I may or may not have seen this game, I stopped playing a bit after matchpoint. Proxy everything was common on that map because it was so easy to turtle. PvT was fun but a giant pain because of how clumped the choke points were. I have 12 low pri games to get through... hello cliff jungling. | ||

A lot of jokes that I see on reddit/sometimes TL/the internet in general are punching-down jokes. | ||

side note, "point in case" makes more sense to me than "case in point" but idioms are silly | ||

It's really not problematic. It's a very simple guideline that says that shitting on a disenfranchised group from a position of power is normally a bad look. Which it is. | ||

Which it is. like i understand the general principle and agree that it's a good one to avoid offending people and leaving bad tastes for attempted humor in public forums, but there's no way it's not problematic beyond that purpose when people debate this kind of stuff all the time. "bad look" depends on perspective, take out all the people who get stuck on how bad it looks and it's easy to start debating the details of it, no matter how much the details don't matter for the purpose of not looking bad to the people who don't like bad looks. "up" and "down" really only work in generality because there's always exceptions until you start literally ranking individual human beings by singular quantifiable traits (economic status? microaggressions experienced per unit time? number of people who look down upon a particular trait?) | ||
