Holocaust Wank on OHiNYC
So in the LJ feed Overheard in New York, someone posts a quote of a parent and child having a discussion about visiting concentration camps while in Europe.

...I think you can see where this is going already.

Some highlights:

[info]sephirothgal posts an ASCII 'Lollercaust' picture, and [info]__curiousposes takes offense.

[info]grrlishgrin says: Wow, really fucking funny, asshole! NOT. (I paraphrase slightly.)

[info]xktx posts a pic of a sign on an American tank in Iraq and brings the St. Patrick's Day Parade ban on gays into it. (All righty then!)

[info]ihopdisciple wishes death on those who do not find this funny. (And has a rather NSFW icon as well.)

[info]autoplastic thinks everyone on this thread should visit a concentration camp, and then they wouldn't laugh at this.

[info]lafinjack thinks 23-year-olds don't know jack shit about witnessing horrors. (Okay!) And posts an animated .gif of Hitler telling a knock-knock joke, which of course people follow up on with other such pictures.

Jokes about Hitler and peoples' moms get taken the wrong way.

Fun for everyone!

If I laughed at the Hitler knock knock joke, does that make me a bad person?

It was the "Watermelon-eating!Hitler" that got to me.

Actually, I've found it to be true. My brother's nonverbal, low-functioning autistic. If I didn't LOL at him daily, I would probably snap under the stress. It's something a lot of ignorant people think I'm a terrible person for, too.

You idiot, I am from Russia, and it's our grandfathers who kicked Nazi ass, while Yanks were playing their usual part of johnny come lately in Europe and throwing atomic bombs at Japanese instead of honest fight.

Right, okay. Because those young soldiers were really thinking about National Pride! when they were bleeding on that battlefield.

Wars aren't about who the fuck did the best or the most work. It's war. People die for senseless, tragic reasons. NOBODY wins.

Although I admit I do get a small kick out of watching uberpatriots' heads explode when I tell them that the US was way down on the list of death tolls from the major players of WWII.

[info]lafinjack comments with this icon: //You're only 23. What horrors have you personally witnessed in your pitiful lifetime? The gauche of a restaurant not having a veggie burger on their menu?

Get some perspective before judging how others choose to cope.// and links to a post in her lj about a car bomb which killed 68 people in Iraq. The combination of the icon, the comment, the story, and the fact that her lj is titled "Their's a nuclear device in my ass and I'm not afraid to use it," sure has showed me the respectful tone that's appropriate for atrocities.

When you see somebody making fun of other people's misery is most likely a coping mechanism in action! In german we call this coping mechanism Schadenfreude.

I fucking HATE these sorts of arguments. In these, there is no middle ground between being 'oversensitive baby with no humour' OR 'heartless asshole who laughs at the suffering of others'.

Or basically, it's pretty much a variant of - "Is not! Is too!" - except with image macros.

Is anyone else reminded of the infamous "Comedy Central Anti-Censorship" South Park edpisode?

To summarize: If it's not okay to poke fun at one thing, it's not okay to poke fun at anything. But if it is okay to poke fun at something, then everything's fair game. You can't have double-standards, and political correctness is the fucking devil.

More people should live their life by this motto. However, people who are selectively offended by some offensive jokes and not by others are beautiful ass-sticks who make for some great wank!
