It seems unfair and discriminatory to advocate for prejudice in satire. While the humor in question may be in bad taste or even offensive, fairness and standards in equality should be upheld in all forms and applications.
The disabled and handicapped, for instance, are generally seen as untouchable in most forms of satire. As such, it is rare to see a disabled person in comedy, even if the humor is in no way related to the handicapped. This seems repulsive, as if the disabled are somehow unfunny, or even incapable of being funny.
In order for the handicapped and disabled to maintain a fairer and more equal stance in society, they should be allowed the invitation to, and be included in, all forms of satire and comedy.
