even if they were joking, if someone got hurt then that matters more than their joke. having basic empathy should make them see that

i hate when people say it’s “just a joke” a joke is only funny if it’s reciprocated otherwise it’s just mean

I think saying it’s a joke is fine, but if it impedes basic human decency then it’s not. Like if someone is upset by the joke then that person who made the joke should take accountability
