I wish they had. It would have garnered a few minutes of people mocking them for “not being able to take a joke,” and we wouldn’t have had to read about this for the past week (feels like it’s been WAY longer). I just feel like our society defaults too hard to being “mean” as the equivalent of being funny. There’s probably some long, deep cultural study one could go into as to why that is, and how jokes about “your mother” at an early age are part of this societal acceptance of insults as jokes. But I fear we go WAY too far, from good natured ribbing into just bashing people for existing.
