Laughing at Their Own Ignorance: A Comedy of Errors

A screenshot of a Reddit comment thread discussing why conservative comedy isn't funny, explaining it's about the intent to upset stereotypes rather than make people laugh. The main post argues conservative comedy is created to upset a stereotypical 'other,' and the laughter comes from the idea of that other being upset. A reply by user 'robilocksley' elaborates that anti-trans jokes aim to upset a stereotypical version of trans people in the conservative's mind, and the humor comes from imagining that stereotype being upset. The interface shows likes, comments, and replies.
