Answer a Question with a Question...

Not that this is a humorous topic, as above,
but I remember enjoying the very humorous take on historical womens rights demands, in the original Mary Poppins movie; did anyone else find that father and mother laughably fun to watch?

(Mary Poppins was an exercise in caricatures, the mother's dilettante suffragette scenes included. My grandmother, whose mother marched many times for women's voting rights, harrumphed her way through those sections of the movie.)

In honor of Grandma's umbrage at the Mrs. Banks role, I will pose this question:

Do you find it hard to laugh at mocking trivialization of things you take seriously, even when they're meant to only poke gentle fun?
 

I do find that sometimes I am insulted by humor of things that are misrepresented and hurtful to others,
yet I do often find release in laughing at something I normally find serious, when it is clearly extreme inaccuracy meant for the exaggerated humor, rather than for critique or cruelty.

There are definitely some subjects that shouldnt be joked about, though, imo.

Are there some subjects you wouldn't want to see any form of joking/humor applied to them?
 
Can't we be a conformist in some areas, and very non-conformist in others?

Is that how any others of you, would describe yourself?
 
Would most people prefer to "blend in" or get "lost in a crowd" and not "stand out" as being different....
Or do most people feel lost and alone, insignificant, and completely unnoticed and unimportant, in such a situation as that?
