    Edgy humor has a butt to the joke, and/or the joke is made due to someone’s misfortune, at their expense. It’s inherently problematic in the sense that there’s a risk of offense to those who have been victims of similar misfortune. The solution, of course, is to be funny enough that the humor overpowers the offense and/or doesn’t focus the humor on being mean to the victims

      Indeed. You can laugh about anything, but not with everyone. At least, that’s how I see it.

      (Of course laughing here is meant as laughing at a joke and not laughing at the misfortune of others).
