# I was thinking about this earlier
am I right in thinking that there was a plea from the mods or admins or something in the early days of b3ta for people to stop making fun of 9/11 quite so much?
For some reason such a thing entered my head earlier and I couldn't remember if I'd imagined it or not.

-edit- Question not directed at you, more anyone who'll listen ;)

# I have to admit that I see their point, if they did.
I know this is b3ta and anything goes, and all that, but it is still basically making light of thousands of people being killed.
(I helped save b3ta! The Hedgehog From Hell it's funny because STAR WARS, Sat 10 Sep 2011, 21:01, archived)
# While this is true
It's very depressing otherwise.

-edit- I've made my views on this fairly well known over the years anyway. I'd say there's a difference between making fun of a personal tragedy and making light of an absurd situation. And while planes full of people hitting towers full of people is utterly tragic at face value, it's also pretty fucking absurd.
(I helped save b3ta! Mushroom, Sat 10 Sep 2011, 21:04, archived)
# My theory is that
the towers are photoshopped so much both because you don't actually see the human tragedy in the towers falling, just brick and dust.

It is images such as the falling man which do show the actual horror of the occasion and very few people use that one as a source image.

Ultimately, though, all famous images get photoshopped regularly, so it would be strange if no one ever used it.

At the very bottom line, there is nothing funny about it, and it's not like there is a shortage of things to joke about. But there are bastards on here who will do more of it simply because it offends.

# b3ta didn't invent satire nor bad taste.
As far as I can remember, there has been a satire magazine which published a cover story, shortly after 9/11 with the headline: "women can't drive", showing a fireman standing at ground zero.

# Where is the line, though?
You've posted jokes about downs syndrome in the past. How would you justify that as being one side of the line and Herman's post on the other?

Certainly, Herman's post is not pointing and laughing at the deaths, rather he is re-appropriation a famous image to make it ridiculous. Whereas most downs jokes on the board simply are downs=lol.

There may be some argument that some imagery should never be re-appropriated, but I personally think that gallows humour is a very important way for people to cope with the darker sides of life and a psychologically very healthy thing to do.

Although I would agree that if a post's intention is simply to mock the unfortunate and feel superior to them, then that should be criticised as a shitty bullying thing to do. Some 9/11 jokes may be doing that, but not every one of them.

Just trying to remember whether that was an actual facet of b3ta history or just a figment of my imagination.

# Not sure, Mushroom. That doesn't ring a bell.
In fairness I think most "twin tower" and other 9/11 pics I've seen haven't made fun of 9/11 or sought to belittle the human cost. What I think they've usually done is use iconic images related to an horrific event for humorous purposes, which may sometimes be uncomfortable but which I personally think is fair enough. It's something b3ta's always done, and it's part of a wider tradition of British humour.

I LOLd then followed that with a sharp intake of breath. There's not much on B3ta that makes me feel truly uncomfortable, but this comes close. However, it's not for me to censor or criticise.

On a side note, I don't think I've seen the collision with the South tower from that angle before.
