Is this a bad idea?

So I'm thinking of doing a sketch about me finding out that Ebola is in the UK. Do you think this is offensive or do you think it's ok?

I watch far more offensive stuff on Youtube on an almost daily basis. I think you're fine.

i think it really depends how you are gonna make fun of it

 

[Chance C]

for me i dont care, but how old is your audience for them to take it as a joke? It may be quite funny the way you do it, but depending on what you do in the video that could get a negative effect.

I think people love to watch offensive things, so you should go for it
Especially when comedians use this word MOTHERF**ker, it looks very cool hahaha!

Its edgy content (be it good or bad) which should hopefully put you out there. If you think somethings too shocking to include then I'd suggest keeping it in. Who doesn't love a fight in the YT comment section?

Moved this here for you I guess it all depends on how you do it. Remember that people actually did die from Ebola....so it could be a sensitive subject for some people.

I would say screw it and just go for it. Most people won't take offense to this.

I have seen a couple very funny Ebola videos. You should do what you want on your channel. As long as it doesn't violate any YouTube rules (pretty sure jokes about Ebola are not mentioned in the ToS), the worst thing that will happen is you'll get some dislikes and hate comments--which equals engagement.

If I'm being honest here, I think ebola jokes are on the lesser side of the offensive spectrum. Maybe I'm just jaded though.
