It reminds me of a story a gf once told me. Say her name was "Cassandra" and she was in 4th grade, across the room where the teacher wanted to get her attention.
"Cassie?" and no answer. "Cassie?" and no answer. "CASSIE!" and no answer. The teacher gets up, goes across the room to her, and "CASSIE! Why didn't you answer me when I called you?"
"My name is Cassandra, not Cassie.".
Names, as it should be obvious, are the most precious thing to us. When someone calls us something else and we accept it, we have given up practically our core because after that, they own us.
Telling us that our names are not what they are, threatening us, screaming at us, it's wrong and I don't find this at all funny, especially in the current environment.
After all, would we laugh as much if some comedian did something about gun owners?
