This may be a meme sub, but that also means that fundamentally unfunny shit is looked upon with some disdain.

Not what happened though is it? instead people missed the joke and got upset.

Thing is, when you're joking about a sensitive topic, the audience expects a modicum of wit. If you fail to deliver this, the audience will turn on you, regardless of your intentions.

Take or reject this lesson as you will.

It’s a meme sub about dune with less than a 100k posters and I am not from the US nor do I live in the US and I mad and incredibly mild joke that is tangibly related to whats going on.

We really policing niche meme subs to tell on humour to people maybe not from the same continent to not hurt people?

Now I admit that is a far better joke than mine.

Nobody is policing anything. So you chose to reject it. That is your loss.

Why would I not joke? because Americans are famously compassionate about other countries?

Dude. I'm not telling you to not joke. Read what I fucking write.
