I dont know how hard it is for people not to make jokes out of such nasty things like this and Edge shouldnt have said it so he should really be a bit ashamed of himself for it. Honestly people who say "its only a joke" dont understand and probably dont care about the hurt they cause with their garbage and id be glad if comedy is dead if crap like this is seen as comedy! You can joke and be funny without the offensiveness. What is offensive to some, isn't to others, and vice versa. So who gets to decide? Big yikes my guy

Damn people get offended by everything these days I think people are just offended at anything they think they are supposed to he offended by in 2023. Also Edge spoke up on supporting gay marriage in Canada way back in 2000. I really doubt he's actually homophobic.

Seriously, who gets to decide who are the morality police? Because I guarantee you that there are plenty of things that you like that I would find completely shit. So, do I get to decide that YOU shouldn't have them based off of MY morals and tastes?

Okay, laying this out this way. Are there people offended by rape jokes? Yes. Would you be offended if he hadn't told a rape joke? I sincerely doubt it. So in that case don't do it.

I also don't think a majority of people offended are even gay. They just decided they get to determine what is offensive for another community, which is horribly weird in its own right. Risque comedy still exists and people still make jokes that near that line. They are not going to stop with that comedy, they are just going to be more exclusive with it and only do it in their own circles. It's impossible to regulate.

Comedians have been making nasty/offensive jokes sense the dawn of time, hell my favorite kind of comedians are the vulgar kind that have no filter. Not youâre cut of tea? Fine, but peopleâs taste of jokes varys, even the offensive kinds

There are people who are offended by the very nature of wrestling, and see it as homoerotic garbage that shouldn't be on TV. So, I guess we should ban it to appease that groups morals, right? Seriously, people need to grow up. Not every joke is going to crack up everyone, but I promise, you can just move past it. Your beliefs are not the same as everyone else's, nor should you try to force your perspective on those who disagree.

The wildest thing about jumping to the âeverybody is so offended by everything these days!â reaction immediately is that⊠no. Thatâs not what happened here at all. The OP was literally one specific person finding offence in one specific thing. As theyâre completely within their rights to do.
Just like those of us who didnât find something upsetting within what Edge said, are completely within our rights to move on with our days and just let other people feel what theyâre feeling. Seriously, nobody is trying to force their perspective on you.

I think its sad and corny when people express their discomfort at a joke and a comedian and their stans are like "comedy is dead, everyone is so offended these days" nah not everyone is going to like a joke. Like I said I found nothing wrong with the joke, but I understand why the subject of rape as a joke is offensive as hell and won't handwave it off like some people in here For someone like myself, my standpoint is this: You don't have to like or agree with everything. But you don't need to whine and be outraged about it either. There was a time where people just didn't feel the need to make a public issue out of every little thing they dislike, and moving back to that way of doing things would be great. Like, for example, I'm a professional musician. And because of my profession, I am the subject of a LOT of jokes, ranging from stuff about my intelligence to my maturity to groupies to drugs. Most of these jokes aren't true, and almost all of them are played out and annoying. But I also don't feel the need to rant and rave and try to smear someone as being a bad person because they said one thing I didn't agree with or didn't like. And frankly, doing so is just ridiculously immature. I promise that in a week, no one will even remember this, so was it really even worth it for OP to start this kind of debate? No, it wasn't. I swear, you can just move right on past like, 99% of things you don't like without complaint, and everyone will be fine. It just takes some growing up and realizing that not everything is for everyone. Painting it as whining and outrage frames it in a way that isnât always the case. There are benefits to saying when something offends you. If I had a friend that kept making jokes that bothered me and upset me, it would be stupid to not say something. They donât want to upset me. Itâs helpful to say when something is bothering you so they can understand and possibly change.

Cancel culture at its finest
I, myself, donât like this particular kind of joke so it should be gone completely
Funny thing is, the more people claim are offended the more those kind of jokes are going to be made, THATS the joke

Just stop. This ain't it. It's not it because you have no counter that doesn't involve pushing your own morals and beliefs onto another person, and you know it. It's fine to not like something, it's not fine to decide others can't like it either, period.
