Main Topic: Humor is subjective but doesn’t have to be cruel

* Is it funny if the joke’s purpose is to make fun of someone else in a less powerful situation?

* Sometimes, you don’t have to share your hot take with the world

* Keep in consideration the cause and effects of power imbalances regarding reviewers & fans

* If you can, tell your jokes without mocking a person or group of people
