  2.  @JenShaw22  respectfully though Jen, that's your leg and your toe you are talking about. The exchange is in energy , not words. Where you feel humor or light, someone else may not. Only in real life can the energy be detected or properly identified or correctly interpreted. It's more complex than one box or approach. The spectrum of opinion and experience is too wide to simplify. I'm a Polak. Polak's can call other Polak's "Polak" because we just can. Same thing with black people and the n word. If anyone else does, it can be interpreted or misinterpreted as insensitive or offensive. This is the way the real world works. The intangible abstract place known as the "internet" is simply a place where people can cross certain normally respected boundaries safely without consequence, and to imply consequence where there is otherwise none, is a threat to people's anonymity and entitlement to be able to do and say as they please without contest. This is me and a few other people saying, we're not snowflakes, or more tightly wound and critical judges of a different style of humor, we just might be more empathetic to the suffering of others than others are. Even firemen and paramedics eventually become desensitized to the horrific sites they are confronted with daily. I get it. I saw the brains of a bicyclist spilled out near a bus on the asphalt of a major road I lived on as a kid. It looked like it wasn't even real. It was a person's head crushed open and spilled all over a street while my family was on their way to wherever we were going. Morbid curiosity causes people to slow down and look longer than they should. There's something frighteningly fascinating about all that kind of stuff. Psychologists think it's our way of comforting ourselves and distancing ourselves from the impact of others' suffering when we make light of it.
