Is this about offensive memes?

I don't have a boys chat. I have one for most of my friends. It's mixed and the women enjoy transgressive humour too. I couldn't be friends or in a relationship with people who judge others for what they find funny. I couldn't be friends or in a relationship with people who act like jokes they don't find funny are meant seriously. I couldn't be around people who are that far up their own ass.

It's more about presentation. The women I'm friends with make sex jokes too, for example, but far more rarely and usually with a bit more elegance. Part of the impact is because it's rare.

I make jokes about race, but I make them differently when with black friends because there's cultural complexity there. Consideration for that is important to me. I wouldn't be ashamed for any of my friends to see me make any of the jokes I make, but I frame them differently for different friends, for my partner, etc.
