It’s more that when you mock someone like this, you’re essentially mocking everyone else going through the same thing inadvertently.
I remember a panel show where comedians ripped into this homophobic journalist, and they really went after her having a lazy eye.
She deserved it, but the jokes were extremely harsh and they were essentially making fun of the condition rather than the person.
Exactly this. Make fun of them for the shitty things they are / do, don’t attack things they can’t control. That’s not right.
The only people who think this are unwanted white knights and selfish pearl clutching concern trolls lol.
Nobody is equating feeling overjoyed with Mitch the Turt McGurt stroking out with some random dad who died of an aneurysm.
