I said that?
Didn't say you did. I asked a new question. Personally I don't see the difference.
i guess the context in which the "making fun of" happens can make the difference.
I've heard many comedians perform, youtube, netflix, live, comedy radio, etc. and some of the comedians that are gay themselves that make fun of gays. i guess if it's light hearted enough and audiences do not take offense, that's perfectly fine.
but i don't tend to listen to overtly vulgar comics. (dice clay comes to mind)
in the case of the stupid guy being interviewed, the woman reporter did the right thing, obviously as she was clearly offended by the remarks by those guys and the guys should have stopped mouthing off at that point....., but i think that could have been taken off air before ramming it to him.
