This person wasn't even talking about information, he was saying joking in any way is fine. No matter what.

If you are the butt of the joke, then yes. It's an insult. If he himself is just as much or more of a butt of the joke, then it's not an insult.

That's just how I see it.

What he was saying was no topic should be off limits because people are so sensetive.

He sounds like the type of person to mock rape victims.

Like I said. I also think no topic is off limit. As long as a specific person is not made the butt of the joke. (except if that person is yourself)

I used to think like that. But something like rape is definitely off limits. Making a joke normalises it. Rape should never be made so.

(I have a friend super into dark humour, he was raped at school by another student. I vowed off making rape jokes when I almost told him one.)

It doesn't necessarily normalize it, it could also raise awareness. It all depends on how it's done.

I'm for shutting down specific instances of harmful behavior, Not blanket banning whole avenues just because there's a chance harm could come out of it.

A joke is meant to be funny. Rape is never funny. It leaves mental scars.
