Look, this wasn’t for me.
That being said, this innately feels ableist, sexist, racist, and while I understand that there are differences in what we find acceptable over time, I struggle to find the humour in laughing at someone who clearly is unwell. It’s only funny to laugh at people when you’re punching up, and this is very clearly punching down.
