yes.

you're comparing the abuse of gay people, some of whom have been murdered mind you, to this silly joke.

It is a silly joke, but if somebody said "Gay people are the reason for the lag" they would be immediately warned, if not temp or perma banned. In the case of a perma, they'd be told to appeal it, but again, it's a double standard. It becomes not a silly joke anymore because it's about gay people. It works that way, in your mind, because gay people have faced abuse, so it isn't okay to make jokes in the exact same way about them. That logic doesn't work out. I've never murdered a gay person. I've never bullied somebody for being gay. I play D&D on a weekly basis with a gay guy named Bill, we're friends. That doesn't make it okay for me to say "Gay people are the reason for lag, jk irony", no, I'm not arguing it does. I'm saying that your argument is "Some straight people are assholes, so we should be allowed to make generalized jokes about straight people, but THEY CAN'T MAKE THEM ABOUT US BECAUSE IT'S WRONG". It's wrong in both cases.
