Seriously why are people so easily offended by obvious jokes or memes about Hitler?
 
PEWDIEPIE DID NOTHING WRONG!




 
Why is it that people need to make yet another tasteless joke about a madman who tried to exterminate an entire race and killed millions of innocent people, including children?
 
Freedom of expression goes both ways - you make dumb jokes, you assume the reactions and consequences.

Everyone likes to talk about Hitler, yet he's only #3 on the list (and #1 killed more than #2 and #3 combined).  I find it weird that nobody really talks about the top two much (in comparison).

I don't know, honestly.
 
I can tell you this though: I've never seen people chanting communist slogans and threaten people around Las Vegas, but we've had neo-Nazi demonstration right in front of the nearest synagogue during a Bar Mitzvah not so long ago.
 
The sick ideas that that monster represents are still very much alive all around us, that I can tell you first hand, and the imbeciles who adhere to such ideologies are certainly doing everything in their power not to let us forget.

Because people like dark humour.

I have a rather twisted and dark sense of humour - some would even call it macabre actually - and I can even appreciate some jokes about this very subject, but it never prevented me from using common sense so I can understand that trivializing Hitler and the death of millions by including him in a colouring book is actually just irresponsible and stupid. 
 
But for anyone completely desensitized who lacks common sense, indeed, sense of humour is a most convenient excuse.
 
If someday people worry about showing empathy a tenth as much as they worry about displaying their so-called sense of humour, we'll probably be able to laugh at everything. I wouldn't hold my breath though.
 
But that's just my 2 cents.
 
 
EDIT - FWIW, this was not meant as a personal attack against you. It's my reaction to general observations which seemed appropriate in the context of this discussion.
