Even if the joke isn't offensive, you should get cancelled just for failing this hard at humor. Just look at this garbage: https://twitter.com/thecoopste... [twitter.com]
If was actually smart, had a real position, or used puns or satire effectively, maybe you could claim this was cancel culture run amok. Instead it's just a sad sack of privileged white male douchebag who's upset that the world is changing and decided the best way to protest was to make the shittiest version of The Onion imaginable.

Sure, if you are targeting a particular person over and over, but that's actually harassment. Telling a bad offensive joke to a group of people aka, twitter world, shouldn't really matter much.
