I find it ”rather depressing” that so many with English as their native language doesn’t realises that there are more people from nations with other native languages and other cultural references “on the Net”. To “get” a joke one have to understand it. From MY cultural views (north) Americans - for instance - are often really rude and harsh when commenting others for how they interpret, spell, uses grammar etc compared to many other Net-citizens outside USA. For instance; I hate “burnings”. Obviously very popular in US. I find that kind of humour … not nice. I believe that there are US citizens that ALSO don’t “get” those. Humour is very personal, the same as religion, gender, political options and so on. To verbally hit someone that “don’t get it” … THAT is “rather depressing”.

I sometimes feel like satire is dead or dying because people take it too seriously and are too sensitive to breathe

The “intelligence wars”? Hardly. It’s the “lightning speed pop culture wars”.

Lol

I'm rather talking about the other side of the argument - about people, who sees post, don't get the joke and starting replying with "are you blind", "are you idiot" and other insults. But in general, everyone could be a little more polite to each other :)

Still no need to be insulting. The classic "Whoosh" comment is enough.

@WilvanderHeijden I have encountered someone that didn't understand a whoosh comment that was made after they didn't understand a joke. The irony kept me tittering for weeks.

Diablo Ramierez easy

Diablo Ramierez Good response!
