There is this missconception (for me at least) that a joke must be accepted by all stakeholders.

I think it can be funny to some and offensive to others. Still a joke.

There are some lines I personally don't cross but mostly i don't take any prisoners.

I think a joke can have a victim, like if it's punching down at people who are already in a position where they can't push back. Punching up is great. But it stops being funny when it targets people who are already struggling to make it. Comes off as mean, jot funny.

If my favorite comedians haven't attacked me personally at some point, they aren't doing their jobs.
